Hated to see the pool filled in. Maybe they can fix that area up for social gatherings. Fire pit and a couple of hot tubs would be nice.

My stay was good. Typical motel style. Breakfast was ok, make your own waffles, meat, potatoes, eggs. One thing that was nice that I was not expecting was a walking/biking trail in front of the hotel, which was nice and went for a few miles in either direction. Staff was friendly.

Super convenient location for the GSMNP. The hotel could use some upgrades. Lighting was poor in the room, shower provided only lukewarm water, and the internet and tv went out our final night about 7:30 and was still out the next morning.

We had a wonderful time at the Best Western in Townsend, TN. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The dining area and suite were very clean. We were hoping to use the fireplace, but I guess the gas had been turned off since it was May. We will definitely stay there again.
