Brookside Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was very helpful upon check in and explained the $5/day parking charge (pretty standard in the city). They showed us where breakfast and the pool area and our room was. They also informed us that bears were in a very active phase and had safety recommendations for us and our car. Once inside our room we found it to be very clean and well equipped with a fridge, coffee pot, iron, and extra blanket. The beds were very comfortable and the hot water came on quickly for the shower. We don't eat many carbs for breakfast so we chowed down on the scrambled eggs which were the best we've had at any buffet and this was towards the end of breakfast hours. The only drawbacks were my pillow seemed a lumpy and the WiFi wasn't great. WE WILL DEFINITELY RETURN!!"

"Location is beautiful and great spot for beautiful views of the Smokey mountains. Beds were comfortable. Space was comfortable. Hotel is aged and in terms of cleanliness was average. It is in the wilderness and bugs etc are to be expected on balcony. Hotel did warn of little bugs and to let them know. Pool is wonderful for kids. Bears in parking lots which was exciting to see but take their warnings about protecting your vehicle and be aware of surroundings. This was a highlight of our trip! I recommend this location."
