Super close to downtown, the room was fairly clean and the beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we made the trip back to Gatlinburg.

No frills but clean!

This is absolutely a bare minimum hotel. It was cleaner then most in the Gatlinburg area which was nice. The room was huge! The hot breakfast was awesome. The pool was closed for the season and no hot tub. It was close to the entrance of the Smokey’s so it was about a 10 minute walk to the middle of the strip. Good place to stay if your not wanting to spend much time sitting in a hotel room.

Very nice area. Porch overlooking brook was nice to relax. It was close to park entrance and town was in walking distance. It could use a little face lift on the outside.

We stay here several times a year. The suites are HUGE. 1 block off the main drag so you don’t get the cruiser noise. 4 min walk to The Peddler Steakhouse. 45 second drive to the entrance of the SMNP. On Ski Rd.

Dirty.

I normally do not leave reviews but thought I should on this one just to warn others about the cleanliness of this place. It was awful. When we walked in the room it had an overwhelming horrible smell as if trying to cover up the filthiness. The carpets were wet and so dirty that we had to wear our shoes to walk around because if we didn't the bottom of our feet became so dirty that we had to get in the shower and wash them. I picked this place because it had good reviews on cleanliness so I don't know if the people were paid to say that because it definitely was so opposite. The only positive thing I could say about the room was the mattress was actually comfortable. Needless to say we would never stay at this hotel again.

Nice location to stay very spacious room

Positives - room was very spacious! Beds and pillows very comfortable. Lots of tv station. Balcony over looking creek was amazing. Area felt safe. Walking distance to the strip. Breakfast was great ! Very good and filling. Hotel main areas were very clean. Checkout was quick and easy. Free on site parking Negatives - balcony had lots of spider webs making it harder to enjoy. Curtain did not want to shut fully to make room completely dark- balcony light would not turn off at night. Bathroom/shower corners could have been cleaner . Dirt discoloration in corners of shower - shower drain looked dirty around it . The shampoo and conditioner in room were very very small. Barely enough for one lady and one kid to shower - I'd recommend bringing shampoo . The number that texts saying If you need anything -- does not text back- messaged twice did not get a response. Staff was average not very attentive . Bed spreads had a could light brown stains (it is difficult to get stains out of white sometimes) All in all-- was a good stay. I would stay again. Walking up to the strip was very enjoyable. We did get to see a bear which was exciting . Perfect for a family . Nice quiet location. Felt very safe. Scenery is amazing ! Very peaceful !!
