Great location, great included breakfast, and nice staff. However, booked a tub for our daughter, wasn’t given one and then was moved to a room directly next to maid services. Our bathroom wasn’t very clean and we were woken up early each morning by workers. Bummed because thought this could be our new favorite place to stay.

We went with our dogs, paid extra, and put in a room that had obviously had dogs before bec it wasn't clean, and then cleaning service made no effort to clean our room til 3rd day after i complained twice. I paid for my dogs to stay and i expect service for my money...The restaurant menu was more gourmet, ...seemed they forgot it was smokey mtns in Tennessee, not some cafe in Paris...keep it simple and serve straight up normal breakfast...

Breakfast was very good but it’s not your everyday stuff. If you have kids with you I don’t think most toddlers would eat much of it. Rooms wear very clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s right across from the island which made our trip very enjoyable. I think this would be a safe and family friendly place and great for parents that don’t want to load the kids up every time they need to go somewhere. Bar was also very good and prices are your normal vacation spot prices.

The ease of checking in was great. He was ready for me with keys and breakfast vouchers. The room was very clean and welcoming. The parking lot and lighting outside seemed very minimal. The breakfast was again delish and service in the restaurant was fantastic. Unfortunately it was snowing so didn't get to use the pool or hot tub.. But looked like an awesome area.

It’s wasn’t what I expected the rooms were okay. The service at the restaurant was good definitely different cuisine we had dinner there it was good breakfast not so much. Rooms where dirty attention to detail would work favors for them. Also I had to pay an upfront charge to keep my booking which was not mentioned on the app it said I could pay at the hotel and also there was a holding fee that was not upfront either. Overall would I stay here again probably not good location but that’s about it.

Don’t let the pictures fool you! The hotel seemed to be elegant but it wasn’t. It was a run down hotel with nice furniture. I would only recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a cheaper hotel that is slightly nicer than an average “cheap hotel”.

I don't like being located under the stairwell, first room was like being in a cave. They were very nice about moving us but still only 3 room over so still not out where you could see anything, room was just dark. They room was retro but the fridge was a joke, could hadrly get a bottle of pop in it. I dont know if other rooms were more spacious but the bathroom was just cramped.

Location was great, but the rooms and the common areas were not as clean as one would expect. The breakfast was good but note that it’s not full breakfast, you get an item per person. Lastly, we went with a toddler, it would been nice to be away from the stairs where people were hanging out/ smoking (which the smell was coming on the room).

Room wasn't as clean as expected. On late Friday night it sounded like someone ran across the roof above our 3rd floor rm. On Saturday night our room suddenly had a strong smell of marijuana that lasted about 20 minutes. Had to go find a roll of toilet paper and had no wash tags the last night there. Not impressed with this motel.
