The remodel on the lower level was great for me, however my husband missed the old look. It was one of the reasons he loved staying there lol. It was very nice. The area of Townsend is so relaxing!

Cozy and Affordable
This motel was very cozy and affordable. I wasn't sure about having an exterior corridor, but the location eased my mind. The cleaning crew did a fantastic job and the lady at the front desk was delightful. Townsend is the best kept secretbin the Smokies.

This was a lovely little place to stay and I'll definitely recommend it. The staff were helpful and friendly, the room was cozy, and I loved the rocking chairs. My only complaint is that the night we stayed a group of people were outside, near our door, talking very loudly for about an hour.
