Bryson City Sleep Inn

The property is close to downtown Bryson city so it is convenient. It is kind of dated but comfortable. Rooms are kind of small and the bathroom is tiny but functional. Breakfast was good. George the front desk person who checked us in was funny and welcoming. Overall a good stay.

Check in was easy and the clerk at the desk was super friendly and genuine. The room itself was fine. Breakfast was served until 930 - we were sitting eating and at 9:28am the breakfast attendant snaps at us that if we “want anything else we better get it ‘cause this closes at 9:30”. She then began aggressively spraying tables down, and in the process sprayed my back. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and told my family it’s Easter Sunday, she probably just wants to get home to her family. Sadly, not the case as the manager came in and asked her if she was good to stay until 12:30, and she happily replied yes. She has all the food gone, and drinks turned off by 9:32. Ive never seen someone work so fast. Unfortunately, she soured the experience for us, we are regulars to the Smokies, but it will be doubtful that we use this location as our base in Bryson City again.
