Neat old hotel. Very clean and helpful staff. Id stay here again but parking is very tight and if you go at the wrong time of day/season it will take you a long time because of the busy strip

The staff were very friendly. The rooms are outdated except for the bathrooms and a fridge would have been nice to have had. I would stay there again due to the price and location.

Close to it all on the parkway. Music nightly compliments of the city of Gatlinburg which we really enjoyed. Pool was amazing and everything on the property was spotless.s. Breakfast is included and was ok. Downside- interior room was dated. Old furniture and set up awkwardly. New bathroom and carpet but rest of as very old. Would stay here again if we come back!

I like where the property was located, kind of central to many different things. I loved the large porch where you could sit in the rockers and I loved the entertainment that they provided on the front porch.

Great location and staff but the hotel is dated and the mattress in our room was horrible. You can definitely tell the mattress was old and it needs to be replaced.

Room was clean, bed was comfortable, staff was friendly, breakfast was delicious. The only down side was probably to be expected in an older hotel: limited parking, room smelled musty, carpet was old.
