Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary

This property had construction materials sitting in an (looked like) abandoned truck. Complimentary breakfasts not the best. Sat just down the road from the fire department and police station. Both were active during the night with sirens and lights. No sound proofing

I chose this unit because it accommodated 6 people. Most of the hotels would make me rent 2 hotel rooms and not have a kitchen or kitchenette. The free parking, full kitchen and washer/dryer in the unit as well as the pool was great. It was close proximity to Dollywood and the strip but the neighborhoods driving on the winding roads were a little scary and not a fan of driving by a landfill drop. The unit was worn. Carpeting terribly worn and floors/baseboards dirty by washer/drier unit and showers. They did provide a good ice maker, toaster, coffee pot and some amenities to get started. Despite the peeling paint on the balcony, I enjoyed being out there watching the kids swim. Good communication was a plus. Overall I’d have to say the stay was decent for a family. Kids loved the pool to cool off in.

This is an older property, but offered an affordable rate. The bed was comfortable and had protective coverings on the mattresses. The room seemed clean. They do not offer a breakfast, but Waffle House shares the Peking lot with them. Overall, it was worth the money for the one night we stayed
