Check in and out was a breeze and staff was very friendly. This is not a newer facility, but the room was clean and was kept that way by the staff. We chose creekside and the views and sounds were very relaxing. The free breakfast was a little carb heavy but there is a great restaurant for breakfast right across the street with excellent prices . Overall I would stay again.

I like this hotel

I have stayed here 4 times. It's not the newest but they have added cute cabin decor to partially renovated rooms. I love the sight and sounds from the creek running behind. Couple blocks to the strip. Close by yummy pizza place. Breakfast is just ok I personally don't expect much on value stays. I travel with food to supplement as needed. Safe parking ( Always lock your auto doors in Gatlinburg the bears are pretty smart:)

This is a nice property to stay at if you’re on a budget and don’t mind an older place. This is not on the main strip that runs through Gatlinburg, so it is very peaceful. And I loved being able to see and hear the creek from my balcony.

Birthday stroll

This was a returning trip to the area and we chose to stay here again with the hopes of finding the place better than the last visit which was right before COVID, sadly it wasn’t. This hotel has potential, the staff was friendly, but our room is in need of a major renovation and I’m assuming the other ones too. The included breakfast sucked, biscuits and gravy and made your own waffles on the hot side and yogurt on the cold side wouldn’t cut it; at least for us! So needless to say we wouldn’t use it again when we return.
