Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Staff was very friendly, and the location was perfect for where we needed to go. And that’s all the nice things I can really say about this hotel that doesn’t even provide a comforter you’re sleeping under one sheet. The plumbing was not sufficient as when we ran in the shower, it would fill up like a bathtub and flood the floors. The water did get extremely hot to wear. I don’t think there was a cold temperature feature. Once we entered the lodge, we noticed a very strong smell of what smelled like Italian food as though I was staying at an Italian kitchen. The walls are thin, so you hear everything. No streaming services are provided just cable. We stayed one night and left the next morning.

Extremely long wait time to get to the check in process. Lots of paper work and then wait in line. The room was allocated in the 2nd floor. No elevator. We have been on long road trip with the last leg at Unicoi with lots of luggage. It was a pain to carry them the stairs. The room is too small for a family of 4 and the restroom has weird door. Overall, the stay was very below our expectations. Expedia must provide clear details as I trust and book a lot of hotels both in US and abroad and I’m more disappointed with Expedia than the Unicoi lodge.

We left the hotel at 10:30 pm. We checked out and drove the 3 hours home. We couldn't sleep, people were to loud in the hallway and outside. You could also smell weed in our room. We would like our money back, very disappointed. We won't recommend this place to anyone.

We had no heat! Two portable heaters were brought to our room but we had to carry them around with us. When you took a shower we had to carry one in the bathroom to stay warm.

Unfortunately, my stay did not meet even basic cleanliness standards. The towels provided were visibly dirty, there were stains on the bedding, and there was a noticeable ladybug infestation throughout the room. While I did not expect luxury accommodations, I did expect the bare minimum in cleanliness and comfort, which was not met—especially disappointing for a birthday stay.

Clean, simple room. Bed was comfortable. Shower was warm and bathroom generally clean and functional. Breakfast was quite good at the restaurant with sizable portions. Consider splitting. :) No frills room, but great location with a good view. Perfect for those who want to hike the park or enjoy other park amenities. I would definitely return.
