I did not like that my room smelled like mildew. And the cleanliness of the room was very poor. I went out and bought my own cleaning supplies and clean the room to my satisfaction. The housekeeper was very friendly.

A little gem in Tennessee
Stopped in on the way back from a business trip to Nashville. Was met by a pleasant lady at the front desk who checked me in. Very old-school. Facilities are dated but perfectly clean and comfortable. Quite affordable and an excellent place to stay!

Room quiet at night, no outside noise. Room clean, bed comfortable. Shower with good water pressure. Good coffee in the morning.... Not much offerings at breakfast but enough to get you started for the day. I liked pulling up to the front door of my room to unload. No elevators, no hallways, just in and out. Mexican restaurant and liquor store just a 30-second walk away. I wasn't impressed with the Mexican food but the margarita hit the spot after a long day on the road. The couple that worked at the motel we're very nice and accommodating. The only thing I would have liked in my room would be at TV channel guide, I didn't particularly like having two surf around for my favorite channel. I would definitely stay here again. A good pit stop along the way with easy access off of highway 40. Price more than reasonable.

Awesome stay, with great views
We decided to pick Lakeview Inn because we needed a quick place to stay to get some rest before heading onto Gatlinburg. It was late when we booked the room, so we wasn’t expecting much on such short notice. But we was very surprised by our room it was very neat and clean. It smelled very fresh and looked very updated. The lady at check in was very friendly. Overall the stay was very pleasant and pleasing and we had a good nights rest. We definitely will stay again and will recommend others to stay.

Talked to them on the morning of out stay, saying we would be having a late check in. With unexpected traffic we were even later and there waa no one there to check us in. I called 3 times, rang the doorbell numerous times. We waited 15 minutes for someone. We ended up at a Days Inn 5 miles away after they answered the phine and had availability.
