Overall nice stay

Everything was great, the location was great, everything was clean, plenty of hot water, but the bed was the hardest and most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever slept on. The balconies and seating were nice to enjoy the weather and surrounding mountains. No smell of weed, like there seems to be literally everywhere else.

Good value, clean, comfortable.

It is a clean hotel with all you need for a short vacation. Outdoor pool only, but looks nice. Close to Anakeesta, the Aquarium, and downtown, all good walking distance. Parking is free, which is a plus right in Gatlinburg. We have stayed here twice now, and liked it each time.

Jodie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Its convenience to explore downtown Gatlinburg, on foot, where commercial parking cost $20 flat rate. (Hotel is free parking and has a lot of space) Clean and spacious room. Water pressure is not strong enough as common as other hotels. No breakfast service that it isn’t problem to us. Overall, great stay.
Hiroko, 2-night trip

The location, is near too many places and you don't need use cars
