I've stayed at many hotels and motels in Gatlinburg and this place was bad. To start, you pull up to the hotel, check in, and are given a map and told to drive to the location marked on the map. Drive down the road, turn up the hill and try to find a place to park. The correct building has a small sign that says something like"Hilltop". A crowd of people were wandering the parking lot also trying to find the right building and their room. Cleaning crew advised us that elevator wasn't working. The room was pretty dated, looked neglected and furnishings were severely used. The shower curtain was barely hanging on. The towels were super rough. The back door handle had a large screw holding the handle on and it looked like the upper locks were pulled out of the wall. Balcony area was covered in leaves and also dirty. An old hog wire fence and post are laying on the ground 4 feet way. Vending is on the 2nd floor, machine wouldn't accept $5 bills, found change and machine dispensed wrong item. It is pet friendly but dogs barked until late, some were on the balconies barking at approaching guests. Carpet had been used as a pet toilet and hallway smelled. Continental breakfast was off property at the lobby. Just an overall rough place. Dirty and worn down, inside and out. I would not be comfortable with my wife or daughter staying here alone. Definitely better places to stay for $138/night.

The floor in the room needed to be mopped, it was dirty. One light bulb was out and we asked to be replaced but it never got done. The elevators were out of order so I had our room moved to the ground. The free breakfast should go to at least 10am for breakfast. Other than that the stay was great.

Need to get elevator working

I got into my room. I noticed both beds has been slept in and was not fixed which the front desk lady was very respectful and nice and gave us another room. Just a housekeeping could do more better by doing room checks and knowing which rooms to put people in And the elevators were not working I have a Spine condition I had to walk to the top floor due to the elevator, not working. Also went out to my balcony in the new room, and there was a whole cup of nasty cigarette ashes. I’m not a smoker so that was very disgusting to me that I had to smell nasty cigarette buds the whole time.

The first room they put us in smelled mildew and was not clean. It was at the top of a hill and the elevator did not work so you had to climb down the hill to shop and climb back up a very steep hill to get back to your room. I dont think a 60 year old should have to climb a steep hill

Disappointed

Terrible stay…room was up a 80% grade hillside 3/10 of a mile from the strip but advertised as just off the main strip. Bathroom fan cover was melted. Switch/plug covers busted. Floors were dirty around the edges with a noticeable dirt edging. Our door handle was unscrewed from the top of the door handle . Only hanging on from the 2 bottom screws. Very noisy could hear the room next door whispering. Definitely not a Creekside pleasant hotel.

Construction underway at hotel and put us at Hilltop building and we had to walk the hill down and up when we went anywhere pr we would had to drive and pay for parking then not enough parking spots at night which meant your car was in a whole different area than you. If they put you at the Hilltop it needs communicated at booking since there is no other way than walk the very steep hill diring their construction. This just wasnt a hill it was strsught uo and down and we are older so it was very hard.

First we were expecting a balcony over looking the creek! Nope we were put in the Hillside complex. No creek at all. The room was gross. There was mold on the walls, refrigerator was caked with ice where it was never defrosted. The microwave did not work. The bath tub had hair left in it. The room smelled. The commode ran over. I contacted front desk and was given another room next door. I checked it out before switching the walls had some gross all over it, the bed skirt had mold on it. We had no choice but to stay in the original room. Breakfast was a joke. Biscuit crumbled when picked up. No meat, potatoes, grits, oatmeal. Only scrambled eggs. No jelly and the coffee was colored water. Nasty. Will never suggest this place to anyone and then tried to charge me afterwards for my pet and parking. My bank declined the charges. Never stay here!!!!
