Close to everything! 10min walk and you are smack in the middle of town and national park. Loved the location on the river too. So nice to see and watch from your balcony. Breakfast was awesome, wished they replenished the bacon though. Would highly recommend!

Excellent scenic location very close to a Smoky entrance. Hills on one side, a river on the other. Room was ok, but had a smell that may be a mix of room freshener and what was to be masked by it. Room and lobby needs to feel fresh. Average breakfast, eco-friendly bowls and plates.
