Had an issue when we arrived. Told clerk we had to leave a day early and she explained the process of doing this using Orbitz. Over the next three days, the inn refused to assist when Orbitz would call saying they were too busy and to call back. This was never resolved and I paid for a night we weren’t there. Very unprofessional staff and response.

We stayed here many years ago but it has since been renovated. Our rooms were clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water and nice bedding. The location is great for walking to shops and restaurants and it’s easy to get on the Parkway and go to Gatlinburg. The on site restaurant was delicious and there is a balcony area with a fireplace that we enjoyed to watch traffic on the strip. Will stay here again.

This was our second time staying at this hotel. We chose it a second time because our first stay was amazing, and the second one did not disappoint. The rooms are decent. I found the beds to be very comfortable; not too firm but not too soft. The bathroom was outdated and didn't have an exhaust fan. The shower head was a little low for me, and I'm 5' 7". The staff were all extremely accommodating and friendly. The restaurant might seem a bit overpriced, but the serving sizes are pretty generous.

Expect a small motel and you won’t bee disappointed. Small room, not well lit. Fridge in room with freezer and microwave. Handicap room but supplies - towels hair dryer were stored on a high shelf. Very tall bed so handicap person would have trouble getting up onto it. Bed was comfortable. Did not use pool. Good breakfast but limited. Dinner on property was great. Front desk staff friendly but not too knowledgeable about Westgate. Expected to be quality of other Westgate properties which it wasn’t.
