While it is an older style facility, it is nicely furnished and very clean. The staff was very friendly and efficient, and the goody bag of assorted snacks was a nice touch.

Liked the location. The wheelchair ramp was very steep. My older daughter had to push my younger daughter up and down the ramp because it was to steep for me to do it.

We stayed one night here before going to Cades Cove. The staff were great, but the facilities are a bit old for what you pay. The bed was not super comfortable and the air conditioner made a screeching sound all night. The place is super convenient to the national park and I’m sure it would be great if they did a little upgrade and modernization.

Amazing, very clean, off the beaten path hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was very laid back and welcoming. The pool was crystal clear. The patio and playground area were a very added bonus. Loved this hotel! Will definitely go back!

My husband and I have been coming to the smokies at least once a year since 2021. This is the most pleasant stay we’ve had. I can’t say enough about how great the Townsend Gateway inn was. They greeted my dog at check in with a biscuit so he also sends a five star review. We stayed in cottage 1 and can’t wait to come back!

The room air conditioner was noisy, leaked water all night long and never made it down to 69 degrees. Morning staff was indifferent about it and our experience saying they’d fix it. Bedding was not very nice, room needed a deep cleaning- especially bathroom. Close to park entrance, there are other motels that are probably equivalent that are closer. Be aware that one person’s 5 star is another’s 2-3.

We enjoy staying here when we visit the smoky mts!
This was our second time staying in this motel and we plan to stay again next year! Really nice place to stay in townsend. Owners are very nice, the rooms are big, clean and comfortable. The view is nice, we love the rocking chairs outside of the rooms. We enjoy the large outdoor pool and the patio area with bags where our family can hang out when we have some downtime. It is simple to get in and out of the room as we can park right in front of our room door. The gift bags are so nice! They really make us feel welcome. We also enjoy staying in townsend because it truly is the quiet side of the smoky mountains. However, it is not too far from gatlinburg, if you did want to visit the busy side. Townsend isn't too far from cades cove, the sinks, laurel falls etc. Lots to do and see nearby. This year we decided to try the river rats tubing adventure. This is located in townsend and was a lot of fun. We went with the relaxed outpost with less rapids.
