Recent paint refresh. Looks good. Although very nice still dates. Staff was very friendly. Was a bit disappointed when they told me they are now charging $15 a day to park. One of the things we loved was parking and breakfast made it a great value. Now not as attractive

Basically you get what you pay for. Pluses are GREAT location central to everything in the area, & pool was nicer then the basic ones you see in motel. The hot tub water levels were so low the jets wouldn’t work, the fire tables & fireplaces had issues & no one cares to try and fix the issue just shrug & say yeah ok. Worst was the bathroom was dirty, sink wasn’t cleaned so there was mold growing in it. Even the shower was not cleaned well like a rush job and only occasionally really cleaned. Breakfast was barely edible, pancakes were not cooked fully from the machine, would prefer waffle maker that you control instead. Powdered eggs were over cooked, our son said the cereal didn’t taste good and could we please not make him eat there again. To me it was unbelievable that oatmeal was sitting in packets and I guess you used the hot water and let it sit in a styrofoam bowl. Against my better judgement and with no other food option to eat I tried doing it but seriously how do they consider this an option. It’s not hard to have a pot of ready made oatmeal for people to spoon out. Even if you go to holiday inn, best western or McDonalds, they have oatmeal already made. Served in paper bowls, usually with a few options to put in but at least brown sugar. Nope Don’t book this place if your thinking about wanting to save money on breakfast or thinking you can soak in a hot tub after a long day of hiking or sightseeing

Everything was great,the sink and toilets where slow to flush and drain, everything else was great except having to pay for parking $32 dollars for 2 days and the parking was real close together if you drive a big truck or suv its a challenge to get in a parking place you have to be real careful.

First time staying here. Just me so there was plenty of room in the one king bed room. Was clean and quiet. Could use a little renovating on the premisesbut otherwise very nice. Very convenient as it is in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. Could see from on end to the other of downtown. Great view from the 8th story room
