We staid in a kitchenette for a week and felt the kitchen could use some organization and minor updates. Albeit, most of the utenciles where there but were found out of place in various drawers that didn't feel clean enough to use right out of the drawer. Meaning that if the drawers cannot be replaced that a clean organiztion utencil tray would be a good investment. Room was clean but ciuld used a sweep/vaccume as we kept brining debris into bed on our feet. Bathroom had zero mold and clean. The things mentioned here are minor and would go a long way for the room experience. Overall our stay was wonderful.

We have already reserved this hotel for a visit in April 2026. The room we had was a little outdated. The room isvery quiet and the balcony was peaceful.The parking for the room, in this particular section, is horrible. There are approximately six rooms (or a few more) and only four paved parking places. The convenience of this hotel to the visitor center where we were for an event is perfect. Townsend is an amazingly quiet town. You are still closely located to the rambunctious Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The Great Smoky Mountains are out your back door. Again, we have already reserved to stay there the following year that’s how much we like this family built, owned and ranhotel.
