Scene
Clean and comfortable chain property with rustic decor

Inside, the lobby decor combines refined and rustic elements. There are polished wood floors and a freshly painted white front desk, leading to a living room space with a stone fireplace and brown leather furniture. Walls are decorated with black-and-white photographs of log cabins and other southern imagery. The atmosphere is comfortable and family oriented, and most guests are tourists heading to Pigeon Forge or Smoky Mountains National Park. Front desk staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area, and can give good suggestions for places to shop and eat.
