    Avoid!

    Booked on BringFido. Arrived to check in and was told that I had booked a non pet friendly room. I had explained no, I booked on BringFido. What actually happened is they had given my room to another guest. I had booked 2 queen beds. I ended up with 1 king bed at the back of the motel. Check-in clerk was rude, did not get the room I booked but someone else with a lovely bulldog enjoyed it. I spoke to them and they did not have reservations. They had initially been given the room we ended up with but the office gave them our room because they needed 2 beds. Avoid this place.

    Perfect Place Near the National Park

    Our visit was wonderful!
    The pet rooms are all on first floor, close to the designated pet area.
    The rooms are extremely clean and very spacious and comfortable.
    The desk clerk even gave us some towels to use specifically for our dog since it had been raining. Super sweet thought and was really helpful to wipe off dirty paws after going outside.
    Nightly pet fee was very reasonable for the accommodations!
    Definitely our new favorite spot when going to the Great Smoky National Park!
