"Wonderful Stay at Brookstone Lodge! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely amazing stay at Brookstone Lodge! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience, and their hospitality truly made our stay special. The lodge was a fantastic place to stay while enjoying our trip to the Smoky Mountains. We really enjoyed our time there and appreciated the warm, inviting atmosphere. The only downside to our visit was that the elevator was out of service during our stay, which was a bit inconvenient. However, this minor issue did not take away from the overall wonderful experience we had. We would absolutely recommend Brookstone Lodge to anyone visiting the area and would gladly stay here again! Thank you to the amazing staff for making our trip so memorable!"

8/10 Good
"Friendly staff who allowed us an early check-in and late check-out, which we really appreciated. The beds were comfortable, but very squeaky. Nice river views and a great location. The breakfast area is too small for the number of guests, so it was very crowded. If you have a scooter, I would recommend asking for the main buildinh rather than the third garage/building. The elevator barely fit the scooter, and driving up the hill to the third garage felt dangerous. Overall, a good stay with a great location (across from Anakeesta & by trolley stop) and friendly staff. Free parking is a plus (minus having to keep moving yellow cones)"
