I've never actually stayed at the lodge but I have hiked all the trails dozens of times leading up…read morethere. On a fall day during peak colors from the summit the view is beautiful. I sit back for a hour or so and soak in the mountains before starting the trip back down. I'd love to start a hiking club with my students to make this trip but the school district says the liability is too great.

The Best Hotel Ever! The *only* way you can get to Leconte Lodge is by hiking up to the summit of…read moreMount LeConte in the middle of the Smoky Mountain National Park. You cannot drive up to LeConte Lodge because there are no roads. It's on top of one of the highest mountains east of the Rockies. The highest mountain east of the Rockies is Mount Mitchell (in west NC), which is 6,683 feet above sea level. Mount LeConte (in east TN) is 6,594 feet above sea level. Meals and bed linens are transported up the mountain by the lodge employees on the backs of llamas in rain-proof bags (the only place I've seen llamas outside of the Andes is on Mount LeConte). There's no electricity at LeConte Lodge, so you go to bed when it's dark, however they do have lanterns and propane heaters. Bring your own towel.

Outstanding B&B. This B & B is spotless and with nicely appointed rooms. Check-in was a breeze and…read moreyou felt like a VIP with the proprietor addressing you by name each morning. Breakfasts were prompt, hot, gourmet meals where you could taste the effort made to make each one unique and something you'd get at the best cafes. Truly a great experience and a must repeat if I am ever back in this part of Tennessee,

I was passing through the area enroute to Mexico with a very full car load of items and didn't feel…read morecomfortable parking overnight at a motel. Staying at the Sidecar Inn fit the bill! Off the beaten path and secure. The folks that run the B&B were exceedingly accommodating. My room was spacious, clean and well-equipped. Breakfast was awesome! I would highly recommend staying at The Sidecar Inn B&B!!!!

This was a nice stay in sevierville away from the crowd of gatlinburg…read more First check in was super quick and there were no issues. As we were walking through the halls we were greeted friendly by stay so this hotel definitely has hospitality down from our experience. The rooms were large and clean and beds were super comfy. There's no confusing light switches they some hotels tend to have. I didn't ever find a safe in the room but you have drawers to store clothes in the living room and an armoire to hang things if you so choose. The hotel breakfast was great they had oatmeal, 3 cereal choices including fruit Loops, okios yogurt, muffins, eggs, biscuits, sausage, pancakes and more. Overall a solid breakfast station and it was clean. We enjoyed our stay very well and the view from this location gives a nice view overlooking the gatlinburg mountains.

I was looking for a franchise to join membership and I'm so glad I picked IHG. They look out for…read morethey guest and I do not have one complaint. Check in process was great. Very speedy and quick process. Hotel was very clean and free of clutter. Very quiet and even more secluded once we asked to be away from elevators. Room is awesome. I had a balcony view and it was amazing. I got to see the mountains from all different rays. Got to witness a beautiful breathtaking sunset as well. Rooms were very clean and they supply you with Dove products. Yay. All rooms come with refrigerator, and microwave and we were very excited with two televisions. In the morning you get a full breakfast and we stayed and got to experience a different selection each morning. The cinnamon rolls OMG . Great!!! Coffee was delicious and I got to try some different flavors of yogurts. The only con was painters taking up all parking spots when parking was already limited. Not to say you couldn't park in the back . But parking in the front was very convenient. Overall I'm very glad I chose this franchise to join .

The Palace at the Cabin of the Smokey Mountains was disappointing. The cabin was not clean. We…read morewere not provided with enough towels, sheets or blankets. Hot tubs were cold. Maintenance walked in without announcing/knocking when they were entering. Very few TVs actually worked. Floors were dirty enough to cause feet to be black. Dust everywhere. Kitchen was not cleaned appropriately. Remember to bring your own toilet paper and paper towels. It was clearly a new cabin, all the stickers were left on windows and in bath tubs. There is an awful smell that occurs not sure if it is sewage or gas leak. You are placed on hold or over an hour to talk to an actual representative to get problems fixed. Even when problems are reported they are not fixed.

This bed and breakfast is dangerously cozy. Like, "accidentally quit your job and live here…read moreforever" cozy. The bed? So comfortable I briefly suspected it was stuffed with marshmallows and angel feathers. I lay down "just for a minute" and woke up emotionally healed. But let's talk about the real reason I'd sell my soul and possibly a family heirloom to return: the nightly dessert. Every evening, like clockwork, a homemade dessert magically appears -- as if summoned by a pastry fairy. One night it was chocolate cake that made me question every life choice that led me to boxed brownie mix. Another night? Lemon creme cookie so rich I'm surprised it didn't ask me for investment advice. Would I stay here again? Yes. Would I fake a flat tire to stay an extra night and get more dessert? Also yes

Perfect bed and breakfast right in the middle of the mountains. When you get here you feel like you…read moreare in the middle of nowhere with gorgeous views and peaceful quiet, however you are right around the corner from the entrance to Dollywood and just a few minutes for downtown pigeon forge. The property is clean.. beautiful and very accommodating. The staff is fantastic and does what they can to make you feel at home. My wife and I love finding hidden gems on our travels and this one has made our list of places we must return to. Highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. Breakfast is served at around 8am and it's very simple but well done. After breakfast you can take your coffee to the porch and enjoy some amazing views.

Ashley was TOP NOTCH. When my Husband and I ran into a problem with our Reservation to where we…read morealmost didn't get the room because of Locality, Ashley was able to straighten our Records out and get us back on Track to a Outstanding stay!! Ashley was Kind, and Patient. Taking into account everything that we were saying and fixing the Problem!! My husband and I love to go on "Mini vacations" (where we go stay at a hotel for a few days to get some Missed hot tub and swimming time in) Ashley was persistent and got us in for the rate the agent set us up with over the phone. We cannot brag on Ashley enough!! The coffee in the breakfast room was Better than Dunkin!! Best coffee ever!! I would literally get a room just for the coffee!! Hahaha The room was Great!! The beds were comfy and me and my Husband slept like Rocks!! lol!! The Hot tub was so Relaxing. We got to watch The Chosen while soaking away and melting next to my Best Friend. Felt like Luxury and the Hot tub was the biggest Hot Tub, we've been in thus yet!! Plenty of room for your bags, and storage in the room. It was such a cozy room. They do have a fitness center however it's in a separate building with no fans :( The breakfast was very tiny. With hot oatmeal and pancakes with three choices of cereal. I would recommend going out to eat as a Family, but maybe if you were single it would work!! The breakfast room was also hard to move in but we are very blessed to have got to eat!! There was an outside pool too!! Thank you Ashley and thank you for Our wonderful stay at the Baymont! We will be back!! -The Kanevski's ---------------------------------------- My Recommendations: - if you want more breakfast options, you may want to go somewhere else... Pros: -Location, Location, LOCATION!! -Great Prices! -Good Amenities -Nice view from the balcony!! -My Husband and I LOVED the Hot Tub! -The Beds were SUPER COMFY!! -Room is Cozy Cons: -Breakfast room is a little Small, breakfast was minimal. -Workout room had no circulating air See you Next time!

Don't stay here. Very rude staff. Told us check out was at 11am, yet texted us 5 times asking us…read morewhen we were leaving throughout the night. Then again in the morning. Then kept trying to come in our room until we left. Then we take our stuff outside to load it in the car and this man runs his towel cart into our baggage multiple times and kept pushing his way through us instead of going around us like a decent person. Housekeeping gave us the rudest looks for whatever reason. The room was also gross and wasn't cleaned at all from the previous guests. There was mold in the shower and random hair as well. The only pillows were lumpy throw pillows. Also, many have claimed roaches but we thankfully avoided them somehow... Also, beware the free breakfast.
