For a 3 star hotel, the rooms are getting dated. Over humid, dewy, and an odor. Staff was excellent. Pool was excellent. Fire pit need an external flame to lite. Breakfast is good.

Staff was great, building needs major update, elevator slow, bathroom faucet broke in 1st room, toilet barely flushed in 2nd. Helen Keller put new tub in 2nd room, horrible fit & finish, spot for shower didn’t engage all the way. A/C didn’t cool good & loud

Great Easter weekend. Only complaint is the elevators are slow but when your on vacation ya just need to slow down and go with it and have fun elevator chats with everyone. The location is great. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. Perfect for a mountain getaway. Being right on the river is nice.

We loved the location of this hotel. That was the best part because we could walk anywhere in downtown Gatlinburg with ease. We appreciated the parking although it is very tight and a bit difficult to maneuver. We appreciated that it seemed they were updating areas of the hotel but the only ice machine was on floor 5 because of the construction. The beds were not comfortable and you could feel the springs in them when you laid down. The furniture in the main lobby was worn which was my first inclination that the hotel wouldn’t be super updated. They don’t give you new towels each day or clean up your room until checkout.The staff seemed friendly and helpful.

The hotel is conveniently located if your plans include the National Park and the town of Gatlinburg. However, the facilities are older and a little run down. The town itself reminded us of Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, Canada, with lots of souvenir stores and kitschy places if that’s what you’re looking for. Our kids enjoyed the pool. We typically prefer newer hotels. We chose this place for it’s proximity to the National Park.

Loved it overall! Such a great location, walking distance to everything in gatlinburg basically. And for the price you can’t beat it. The pool/hot tubs were a great addition-especially since they’re open/heated year round. Breakfast was amazing, and breakfast staff were so sweet and helpful. The cleaning ladies were also amazing. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the parking spaces are very close together-but for free parking in that location you can’t complain. Will definitely stay again in the future!

Loved the property and the area of town it was in. The room was very nice with the fire place and jacuzzi tub. The staff were very nice as well. The only one thing I did not like about the place was they did not have what you would call quiet hours. A church group of kids were staying there as well and they were very loud all night in the pool and in the rooms. Other than that I would definitely stay there again. I will just ask next time if there will be any kid groups stating the same time.
