Very clean and comfortable. Clerk was very friendly and welcoming. "Breakfast" was not much--just packaged danishes--but the price for this clean, safe hotel was great. Highly recommend.

Dear Kathy,What you have described is far from the experience we want our guests to have. The cleanliness and upkeep of our accommodations are two of our top priorities, so it's unfortunate to hear that this wasn't reflected during your recent visit. All of your feedback will be discussed internally so that changes can be made for the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your comments, and we hope you'll join us again soon.

No one informed me that there was a $100 deposit which you receive when you leave. I payed in cash. I stayed two nights. When I go to leave the receptionist told me I did not give her a $100 deposit and told me to have a nice day. I told her I gave it to her in cash and indeed give it to her. She had to call her manager to ask them if she could give me my money back. I’m so glad that I’ll never be in this location again and if I am I’d rather sleep in my car . Other than that nothing fancy. Something came up my sink in the middle of the night and left yellow chunks in it.

It was right off the highway, so very easy to find and to get to. There were several restaurants and a gas station within walking distance. And lots more in the area. It was easy to hop on and off of I-40 to get to Pigeon Forge. The staff was nice and the room was clean. The linens smelled very good. We had the room next to the ice maker and I could hear it through the wall. And we were literally right next to the highway, so we could hear the traffic. I’m a heavy sleeper and we had the tv on so it wasn’t a big deal for me. It would definitely bother some other people. Breakfast was prepackaged donuts, honey buns and cereal bars. I don’t like coffee or tea. I wish there had been some small bottles of water at least. Overall, it was a good stay.

We stayed a total of 2 nights in transit to and from S Carolina. Both stays were exactly what we needed: a nice bed and a clean shower. No need for a sound machine the highway checks that box. Check in and out both simple. Breakfast coffee, a prepackaged honeybun and a cereal bar and off we went.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Being the cheapest option carries some drawbacks. As i pulled ino parking lot, there was someone shooting up drugs in the car next to me. Check in went fine. Going up to room and there are people just sitting in the stairwell talking on their phone. Step around and go into hallway. Someone else is doing the same thing, only on speaker phone. They proceeded to continue that trend for 2 days well past 10pm. The room wasn't super clean, hair in shower, tiles falling off by toilet.

I was traveling Late March 22nd on a trip from Indiana to Florida and it was really late and every where I checked on Expedia was full. Then I found this property and was so excited it had one room left. So I hurried and booked it. Immediately after (within a minute) I did directions to it and realized it was 3 hours out of our way and not on our path. So I cancelled it. I immediately called Expedia and they called the property manager and they said there could not be refund. I’m extremely upset about it because we did find another place to stay but with being charged $165 for the room I canceled we ended up paying over 300 for the night. I’m sure you have been in a situation where every where you stop no vacancy and when I saw one immediately reacted. They said I can’t have a refund

Bare bones room with few amenities, was just a place to sleep, and had to run a fan to attempt to drown out the truck traffic noise from the interstate. Insert sad face (here). Not a place that I would stop at ever again. It was clean, and the shower was hot and relaxing, when we could get the shower head to stay on it’s mooring. Cheap comes to mind when describing this place.

A clean facility and it does have a lot of great things to have said about it, but It does not warrant a 5 star. It is a place to sleep after all and that is not something you will do well here because of the mattress. It lacks so much padding that you feel each and every spring in the mattress.
