"The motel was OK, but it was getting rather old. The bathroom was tiny, and the towels were dinky. There were way too many people in the breakfast area during the Covid pandemic.2020-10-21"
"Convenient to many "quiet side of the Smokies" amenities. The motel was older but clean. Don't expect any extras. Breakfast wasn't provided because of Covid. Just a place to sleep.2020-07-11"

"A nice, clean motel. We've stayed here before and always have a good experience. The room was larger than we expected. The bed was comfortable, and the linens were clean. Quick, easy check-in and checkout. Delicious breakfast buffet with a variety of food.2016-05-02"
"This hotel was a poor place to stay. It seemed to be a gathering place for staff and their friends. The carpet was dirty and ragged, and the pool was in disrepair. Breakfast was missing cups, staff, and supplies. I left early.2023-11-24"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
