BEST WESTERN Cades Cove Inn

the location and people were nice. The room wasn’t bad, it was very clean and at first it was great. details below.
PROs:
about 20 – 25 minute to cades cove
Nice small town not far from gatlinburg area, much quieter than gatlinburg
Walking distance to trailhead restaurant which we found out is a very good place to eat
People in the office were nice
Free breakfast
Clean room
You get a cookie when you check in (trying to be a doubletree?)
CONs
the AC/​heater in the room would make a loud annoying noise every time it turned off. we ended up turning on the setting to keep the fan running so it would not.
Fo some reason we were given a handicap room, which generally isn’t a terrible thing until we went to use the shower. the shower sucked! make sure you do not get a handicap room unless you need it. I am hoping that shower was the way it was because it was a handicap room.
They are using dispensers for soap, shampoo, etc. at first i thought it was a decent idea, until there was no soap in the dispenser when I went in for a shower.
Some of the dispensers were a pain getting anything to come out also.
The breakfast wasn’t anything special. I’ve had much better ones at other best westerns
Overall it would be a hard call if I would stay here again if in the area. I would definitely have to compare it with other places.

Fairly cheap since it was near Christmas ($ 80/​night). Room was great, one star off since bed was really hard. Breakfast was good and filling, front desk was polite and answered questions well.

Breakfast was okay. Eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravy. Canned fruit and dried english muffins. This is included in with the purchase of a $ 200 room. Not a great value.

Very nice place. It was clean and better than average free breakfast. Lots of outlets to recharge your gadgets. I guess the only downside for us was there was no laundry facility.

Room wreaks of bug spray! RAID or something like that. Asked to be moved as I have a small child and was told they are unable to do so. Many rooms empty or yet to be checked in. @&$)! doesn’t touch how I feel right now but in trapped. I use best western often but this is–
Worse Best Western ever.

Can’t ask for more. Great price, friendly staff clean rooms and decent free breakfast.
It’s great location for smoky mountain and tail of the dragon. Also not too far from pigeon forge. Location works for me, gas station, grocery store and restaurants very close. But Townsend shuts down after 9pm. Nothing is open.
I will be back when I’m hitting the dragon.

Ok so the lodging areas in the town are limited especially if you aren’t doing a 2+ night stay in one of the cabins (which most require), and your not a camping kind of gal (unless it’s «glamping») so best western it was! The hotel is pretty nice, and recently remodeled. They have the typical hot hotel breakfast in the morning, which by no stretch was great but I made do with a biscuit and some fresh fruit and yogurt.
The in room small refrigerator came in handy, as did the hotel wi-​fi. Because of the location of the hotel (near the mountains/​out in the country) your lucky to pick up any kind of signal so the wi-​fi and computer in the lobby with a printer was definitely a plus! Staff was super nice. Conveniently located about 10 minutes from Cades Cove and the Smoky Mountain National Park.
