Mountain stay

We stayed on the fourth floor had the balcony of the river. I liked it because it did not have carpet in the room. Everything was clean and comfortable. They had a hot breakfast eggs, gravy biscuits, and meat and waffles. Very close to the town of Gatlinburg. You can walk or there’s a trolley ride outside to pick you up.

Gatlinburg stay.

The hotel is in a great location. The carpet by our room was filthy and we had no closet with hangers or an ironing board. The bathtub is very dated and needs replaced. The breakfast was good. Some oatmeal and pastries would be a nice addition.

Not the best, we booked this hotel while on the road in a pinch for a single night... thank goodness it was only one night. We paid online...non refundable, but upon arrival at check in, the front clerk said there is another charge for the taxes and fees? The rooms have been remodeled, but its still an old hotel. There are far better options for a few dollars more.

Room was clean and comfortable. Location was excellent. The outside needs some care. Loved being on the water and on the trolley stop. Walked across the bridge for a great dinner at their sister hotel.

We got such a good deal on this hotel, it was a little scary. We were afraid it may be “not so nice”. To our surprise, it was great! Very quaint, within walking distance of town, very cool river view deck. The staff was outstanding- friendly and professional. We definitely found an amazing deal via Expedia. We would definitely come back again.

Great stay, amazing views

Brought my 9-year-old daughter here with me. We had a blast. The river outside the private balcony was perfect. It's located a little bit outside of Gatlinburg so you miss the hustle and bustle... Which was awesome for us. We had a little walk but we didn't mind that. Great place and we'll stay there again.
