Had a wonderful experience at SmokeyBear Motel! This is an older property with a few rough edges, but it was clean as could be, the water was very hot with great pressure, and all the amenities (fridge, microwave, coffee maker) were in "like new"condition! Carpet appears new, and the bed was comfortable and had great pillows. There's a restaurant in the parking lot and others within an eady walk. And the Smokey Bear Historical Park is right next door!
This motel, while not the fanciest place in the world was perfect for what I wanted. I was looking for a quiet place to spend a few days away from people but still feel like home. The room was very cozy and almost felt like a well worn cabin. The diner in the parking lot served great food. It was peaceful and relaxing just like I wanted
