Very clean. Close to the strip, mountains, stores & pizza shops. Nice balcony over the river - With the sounds of water rushing over rocks was very pleasant. The beds was very comfortable & the room had everything we needed. Great area & very friendly & helpful staff. I’ll definitely stay here again. Also - Very affordable. Well worth the money. I’ll be back.

Life in the Smokies

I loved how clean the room was when I arrived. The staff was friendly and had recommendations about where to go. I would have appreciated a bigger trash can or at least 2. The trash can we had was too small.

Clean and quiet

Older hotel but clean. Front desk was helpful with directions for around Gatlinburg. Extra bath linens for our family was met with a smile. Air conditioner was a little loud but worked great. Location is a little ways out of downtown life, but that suited us. Quiet. Overall we would stay here again.

Excellent find. You’re not going to find a better place in the Gatlinburg area at this price. I come down regularly and this is the first time staying here but I am glad I did. The staff was super friendly, helpful and know the area well. Free parking means you can walk into town and save yourself $20 on parking. Plenty of food options nearby as well. The room was fresh, modern and clean. Nothing fancy but you’re not staying at a resort and the quality of the room is a better value than many other places nearby at twice the price. I highly recommend this place and intend to stay here next time I’m back in town.

I know people put positive reviews but it was horrible. The smell in the room was so absolutely unbearable. It is close to downtown but everything about the room was bad. The bed was uncomfortable.
