Facilities: Very good location (close to highway exit/entrance). 24 mins from Pigeon Forge. Buc Ees is 1 min away from the hotel which was perfect. For proper dining options, a short 15-25 mins drive is all you need. Clean room/bathroom which is a must for us. Very good breakfast and fresh good coffee. Would definitely recommend it and we will return if is part of our next road trip's route.
Didn't like: the person at the receiving desk when we arrived to do check in didn't have the attitude expected from a hotel front desk person. He wanted to use the phone while talking to us which is annoying and disrespectful. His tone was a full sleepy tone, yawning in front to of us, etc. Recommend re-training that staff on proper front desk attitude and procedure. After all, he is the first face we see when arriving to the hotel.
