Room was clean and staff was helpful with a few questions we had come up. The breakfast continetial style was ok, we would have prefered some fresh fruit as an option but we usually ate out as most people have many breakfast options in Gatlinburg. Would stay again if for a day or two visit.

Excellent stay. Definitely recommend. The staff was fantastic. The facilities show their age here and there (slow elevator, doorframes being a bit tight), but the room was clean, updated, comfortable , and quiet. Zero complaints.

I wish there was a little bit more of a continental breakfast, but overall our stay was pretty good, especially for the deal that we got. Parking wasn’t too bad however, there wasn’t much space in front of our building. The staff was courteous and room was clean. The location was perfect for walking around downtown and saving us from having to fight for parking and paying.

Great location and good value for the money. Room was very spacious. The floor of the bathtub seemed to have water trapped under the surface so it was a bit wobbly and the decor is a bit dated but overall a great value for the price!
