As I am local to the area, I know how long the structure has been there, so I was very impressed with the work in progress on the renovations and the potential the property holds. Very clean! Check in process was very convenient even though no one mans the office which is completely understood. Location, at the end of the strip just up the hill, closer to going up the mountain. And for the price and everything else I previously described, you really can’t beat it. I will be a returning customer.

Decent place. Clean and comfortable bed. One thing you need to remember they don’t provide bath towels. So if you’re staying here make sure you bring towels.

The property is walkable to the Ober area and most of the main strip of gatlinburg. The rooms is great and inviting. Easy check in and out. Love that they send you the info the day of check in to how to access the room. Also love that they send you the link to fill out registration info before arrival. Would definitely stay there again.

get what you pay for

Room itself was just fine, had all the basics plus fridge and microwave. No table and chair, however. No bolt on the door for additional locking from the inside. Hard to find the room due to lack of signage for room numbers. Plumbing backed up overnight and gurgling sound coming from toilet and sink, along with the fear that the water would spill out onto the floor/into room (didn't actually back up enough for that to happen, in the end) made for a poor night's sleep. Incredibly close (4-minute walk) to both the main drag in town, and to the trailhead to the Gatlinburg Trail in the Smokies national park.

Cheap price, you get what you pay for. Contactless check in was really easy. If I had issues it would have been hard to get in touch with anyone. Building is…. Unimpressive and dingy outside. The room was fairly spartan but clean and nice. There was no toilet paper provided in the bathroom which wasn’t optimal. Never felt unsafe but wouldn’t be my choice if I planned my trip further out.

Great value

Room met expectations and clean. The facility is under renovation and is obvious that everything is not complete. Service is set up to be like a cabin- No daily housekeeping, self check-in/out, and no staff on site. I appreciate the privacy. Only complaint is I would like more towels for the length of stay. Location is decent, much quieter than being on the parkway, but not too lengthy of a walk to eat or hike. Easy to park and get out of town, via the bypass.

I would not stay here again after all the hassles with self check in. I read and checked within “about the hotel” and facilities and there was no reference to no staff being present and having to fill in online forms when I’m from the UK and don’t have a telephone easily that works. Under “about the hotel”, it even said good staff!! There is no member of staff. So you can imagine they economise on everything. I saw a family at midnight outside a room for 20 mins making calls and frantically worried trying to get into their room. It took me half an hour to find the volume button on the remote lol it’s hidden on the side BTW. The hotel took no responsibility for the poor website description and just want to grab your money and provide no assistance. In the room, normally I wouldn’t care that there was only one small towel. And a small double bed in already a small room.

Outside seemed a little sketchy when we first arrived but the room was perfect! Parking lot was a little small so depending on what time you got back for the evening you might have slight troubles finding a parking spot. Room was clean, stocked with plenty of towels, brought our own soaps but the hotel also supplied quite a few! Would definitely stay again.
