Last minute Anniversary trip

It does not offer many amenities, but it is close to downtown Gatlinburg and it has on sight free parking. The rooms were clean but the shampoos and travel sizes were not replenished daily. There is a convenience store across the street and the flapjack breakfast 1/2 block away was awesome! It has a free trolley stop across the street as well, however given the traffic and time of year, walking is recommended. We would definitely stay there again. Those looking for a higher end motel/hotel probably would be disappointed.

Nice for the price

Staff was super friendly, hotel was easy to find and a convenient location to downtown for walking. The room was clean. But there is a weird smell in the room almost like its moisture building up or the room hasnt been used in a while but its manageable. Prices are affordable for a quick weekend trip.

The property is marked in google as 4 star. It’s not 1 star- it’s a motel . Ants in the bathroom. Very unhygienic. The girl in the check in has rude attitude. The overall cleanliness is horrible. The room smells like high dose of phenyl. No telephones, the towels are not clean.
