Nice Experience

Stayed for 2 nights as we made our way south on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Smoky Mountains. This was our final stop prior to making our way to Atlanta.  We didn’t want to stay amongst the glitz and bustle of Gatlinburg so this was an obvious choice set 5 miles away nestled nicely in the hills.  When viewing online we noted the Tower Room. It looked quaint and quirky so decided to book it as it would be something different. We were not disappointed. It is set on 3 levels – the ground level had a couple of seats and I suppose you could sit here or outside on the enclosed decking area – although I would not recommend this as it is a small enclosed area plus there are far nicer places to sit close by. The 1st level up had the bathroom and nothing else and on the top floor the bed. The bed has the stairs on one side so access to and from the bed is from one side only. There is also no room for suitcases on this floor and you have to store them on the ground level. From the top/bed level there are views on all sides from each of the windows.  So if you are looking for something different and unusual this is the room for you. A great experience.

Inside the Inn there are comfortable sitting areas both inside and out. At 3pm each day complimentary cake and tea/coffee is available in the lounge.  Wi-Fi – free and available throughout.  Breakfast – starters is normally fruit salad followed by a cooked main course chosen from the menu. Usual culprits such as omelette, waffles, French toast, sausage, bacon, etc. All very well cooked and presented.  Staff are very friendly and look to provide a very good service at all times.  Gratuities – a fixed optional gratuity is added to your final account/bill when you checkout. We were more than happy to pay the suggested amount ($40) for our 2 day stay as the service throughout was excellent.  Stayed October 2013, traveled as a couple  Wilton2
