Very nice ! Basic but what was nice was the pool. It was a clean hotel and good breakfast! Very close to the man strip but on a hot day the walk felt further.. 15 mins to the aquarium which again not bad but it was almost 80 when we were there.

Hotel is great location. Kids loved the indoor pool/waterpark area. Perfect for them, the hours of the pool were convenient. The games in the game rooms however, didn’t work, 3 machines took our money. Do not recommend using any of those! Hotel breakfast was very good. Fresh coffee any time is convenient. Rooms were clean, pillows were comfortable. Perfect for our one night getaway. Lovely place for kids. Location from the Gatlinburg strip was great. Could walk to nearby restaurants and activities!

This place was great! They were very accommodating to our family and our 2 Malinois service dogs. They acted like our dogs were not even there! Our only negative was that about half of the available arcade games as well as their air hockey table was out of order with no signs on them. If they get these fixed I would say the Holiday Inn Downtown Gatlinburg is one tuff competitor to beat.
