Pros:

Your hotel came highly recommended by my late grandmother and her daughter. They’ve stayed here before and loved it as did we. The view of the mountains right outside the window. And even though we were on the second floor, the ramp instead of stairs was so much easier to navigate. We were there to visit Cades Cove on the one year anniversary of my mother’s passing and I loved the fact that we were so close. Thank you to the state of Tennessee for making our trip to the Cove possible on this occasion. We will return!

Pros:

Staff were very friendly. The bed was comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is they air be turned on before guests arrive. There was a bit of a "musty" odor, but I usually have a can of air freshener so it was not a huge deal. Overall it is a cozy little place we'd definitely stay again.

Pros:

The two-night accommodation offered a comfortable bed; however, the pillows could be enhanced to better accommodate individual preferences, as they were perceived as too flat. The recently renovated room was spacious, including a generously sized balcony. Additionally, the shower provided excellent water pressure and temperature regulation.

Best kept secret!
Pros:

This place is an absolute delight! We've stayed in Townsend 10+ years (houses always with our large family) but we're now empty nesters and grabbed this place on whim. It has everything you'd need to enjoy the area and we'll absolutely be back!

Pros:

I loved how quiet everything was. It was so peaceful and laid back. I also loved how convenient it was to Cades cove. The only thing I didn’t like was how we went down to the pool around 8:15 and the worker came in right when we were about to get in it and said it was closed. When the sign said 9pm. Other than that we loved it!

Very nice property and friendly staff. This is an older hotel but it was exceptionally clean with nice updates to the interior of the rooms. Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Townsend.

Pros:

Talley Ho was a nice place. It is a bit dated but they are in the process of remodeling. It is close to the hiking trailheads that we went on and there are dining places nearby. It would be nice if they provided some type of breakfast on site. The pool was nice and the area outside our patio was a beautiful view of the mountains. We would stay here again!

Pros:

One of the clerks at the hotel was friends with a group that were staying there. The ladies were foul mouthed and vulgar in front of my grand children. Videos were showed and she allowed them to continue to harass visitors.

Pros:

So the sign on the pool says it’s open until 10pm but the staff made us get out at 9pm. They either need to take down the hours on the pool or tell people at check in that the pool closes at 9pm. Our tub didn’t drain very well. We had to continually empty the air dehumidifier in the room. This was not disclosed at check in either.
