Property is very outdated but clean for the most part. There is no storage space for clothes in the room. Bathroom shower wasn’t working properly but it was functional. They charge 20$ for a crib that was dirty and they didnt provide sheets. Location is great and its very convenient for geting in and out…

We found this hotel the last time we were in Gatlinburg by walking around. Said we would stay next time and we did this time and loved every aspect. The pool was fantastic. The breakfast was delicious. The room was a decent size, bed a little hard but good for me! The parking was easy on the first level with my SUV being 6'7". I will be back. Multiple times!!! Thank you!!!

Excellent location, within walking distance of most things. Also close to trolley stops. Parking is a little tight but doable. Front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. Cleaning staff were as well. Breakfast was good but could use a little variety from day to day. Property itself could use a little upkeep but over all was a great stay.
