There was no hot water in the shower; water was lukewarm at best. I hope they fix this ASAP, because having a nice hot shower is one of the most important aspects of a satisfying hotel stay. Room was otherwise clean and comfortable.
Staff was great. Only wish they cleaned the hot tub more often
No bed bugs! Pool was filthy though. 2/2026. The only place that had availability with an "indoor pool"...we didn't read reviews of other people mentioning bed bugs and hot water issues -- we checked mattress and headboard, all bedding, we even did iron test, no bed bugs found. Mattress looked new. We didn't see any bugs at all. Water was hot. PROs: for $67, clean room, the bed was comfy, the location great, breakfast decent, no nasty smells other reviews mentioned. Front desk people and guests we met were pleasant. CONs: the pool isn't indoor, its technically not outdoor, it is detached with a greenhouse over it. We walked in and it smelled strongly of cigarettes was foggy it was so smoky (no-smoking signs everywhere so people broke rules). The hot tub and pool looked nasty. Maybe in summer they take better care of it. I was upset because I gave up a gym hotel so our toddler could swim. I didn't even check temp, didn't want to touch the water. Overview: all in all decent for the price. I'd rather pay more to stay in a place with clean pool and gym, but everywhere else was booked.
The place was very tastefully decorated. The beds were comfy, and the shower was good. The hot tub was awesome on this ol' gal. Paula at the front desk is absolutely amazing and so helpful.
Very accommodating and pleasing to book with. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Answered promptly and helped quickly. Great service
Despite some negative reviews, we found the hotel clean, quiet, bed bug free! Heather at the front desk was very helpful! The pool and hot tub were great...very comfortable temperatures. The beds were comfortable. The new elevator is ready to be installed. Very convenient location. The breakfast was a bit lacking. Staff were very friendly and helpful!
I've been coming to NC to visit friends and family and for the scenic view of the Moutian now for the past 8 years, sometimes there is not enough room at relatives house. So book a room here ahead of time. There's never any issues with reservations or cleanliness of rooms. Nutritions food options for breakfast. And staff is always respectful and helpful. The indoor pool and Jacuzzi is always clean everytime I visit and it is. Reasonable pricing and hospitality is what keeps me coming back!!! Thank you Smoky Mountain Inn & Suites!!
I would 100% recommend staying here! I was very impressed, they kept the rooms and the entire hotel spotless! All of the employees were so sweet and make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again!
