Thought this would be an ok stay for my family based on some other reviews. Boy was I wrong. Firat thing i go check the room and there was a huge puddle leaking from under the bathroom sink. We left while they fixed it. Every elevator was broken down. Had to take a stroller and kids up the stairs. Room had unfinished drywall repairs, paint and trywall cracking and falling from the ceiling, the balcony had no lock on it as it had been ripped out, no stopper for the tub and we were told to shove a washcloth in the drain. Then our whole room flooded. Like a river through it and got our luggage and clothes soaked. Apparently there was a hole in the fiberglass of the tub that leaked out, went under the bathroom floor and came up from under the bed and ran through the whole room. I was told to come back to the office to speak to the manager in the morning. After trying 4 different times the next morning, the manager absolutely wouldnt see me all while his tesla was parked right in front of the office. . They took my number and said they would call. Been days and ive heard nothing. I have pictures of all of this.

Terrible stay

The room we were put in was not the room that I booked online. We were supposed to have a soaking tub with a private balcony of the Creekside and we had neither. The room had a funky odor to it. Only 1 trash can and there was even a toilet paper holder. The door didn’t have any trim on the bottom of the door so cold air was coming all the time. The parking lot is terrible to get in and out of parking spot. We ended up leaving the room after one night of staying because the mattress was so hard you couldn’t even sleep good. Overall I would not recommend this hotel to anybody to stay in.

Could not take a shower because there was zero hot water. Curtain not all the way on and light came through window. Bathroom light burned out and there was no closet to hang clothes. When I mentioned it to front desk, they said remodel wasn’t finished yet would not reimburse some money because it was booked through Expedia.

Stayed at the quality inn hillsaide complex which was located couple blocks away. Room issues we had was the ac unit was not cooling the room which the temp was set at 60. Fridge needed defrosting because it was not keep cool. Tub was noy holding water and shower curtain rail was loose and could have fell. We would have requested another room if we would have stayed more than 1 day 2 nights. I did report this and they did took down my issues and said they will give me a discount. I was happy that they took my concerns seriously.

Horrid

This is by far the worst place we have stayed in Gatlinburg. The elevator was out of order. We had to lug our luggage up the stairs to find the room had no hot water. I called the front desk twice to report it. First time, i was told maintenance would be right up. Second time, same response. 30 minutes later, i tried the water again. It was hot. I called the front desk again. The attendant told me maintenance went to the boiler room and turned the water on. Nobody came to my door or called to tell me this. I wasted two hours of a one night stay waiting on maintenance. Also, no sprinkler system in the room. The bathroom floor was dirty. It had not even been swept. We will never stay there again.
