Property had a nice homey feeling as you check in. Rooms were clean and sanitized.Friendly staff. Time of year pool was closed. No hot tub. No breakfast. No daily room cleaning. Fresh towels provided on request. Coffee provided. Several great resturants within walking or easy drive distance. This is the gateway to the Smokie mountains, right off hwy 441. Fuel available across street and a great breakfast place. Overall a good stay at a reasonable price. Will stay again

We have stayed here many times, and we have been pleased every time. The staff are nice and always helpful. I flyfish and the location places me close to plenty of opportunity. Mabel’s, Native Brews, and Wize Guys are all within walking distance too.It’s not fancy, but Great Smokies Inn is comfy and a great place to stay. Almost forgot to mention the fire pit and picnic area stocked with firewood.

Dont like adjoining rooms. There is not a lot of guest, if you have adjoining rooms, you need to stagger the guest. Other than listening to Mariachi music all night, the stay was great.
