Pros:

J'ai apprécié le parking gratuit et le check in tardif (jusqu'à minuit). Le check out est très rapide aussi. Le lit était confortable et la chambre était grande.

Cons:

Il y a des ours qui viennent sur le parking. Contrairement à beaucoup de personnes qui semblent apprécier, je n'ai pas trouvé cela rassurant (essentiellement pour ma voiture de location).

I don't recommend them; I don't know where their star ratings or good reviews come from. They must be fake.
Pros:

It smelled musty, and it was very hard to breathe in there. I told them I couldn't stay due to health reasons, and they got annoyed because they claimed everything was fine. It wasn't very clean and didn't seem trustworthy.

Cons:

Nothing

A bear-y nice stay in Gatlinburg
Pros:

Great accomodation ! The family (I believe) that own the inn are very nice and welcoming. The room itself is quite spacious and has anything you could possibly need for a long weekend stay. The beds were very comfortable and the AC is kickin', great when trying to get outta the Tennessee heat. Also getting to see bears nearly every day was cool. It was more than what we saw in the actual Great Smoky Mountains national park area, and were able to get as close as reasonably possible, too.

Cons:

Nothing.
