Couldn’t get key card to work even after getting new ones. Parking fees ($15 per night @3 nights) that said on website that was refundable then told at checkout that it wasn’t. Was told only the additional fee of $30 dollars would be refunded. If you are looking for a spot that feels remote but isn’t then this is definitely a great place to check out. The outdoor hot tub feels like you are relaxing in a serene atmosphere while enjoying the sunshine and nature of Gatlinburg. However be cautious of bears that may lurk about.

When we checked in, we werectold there was a daily parking fee. I booked the room on Expedia and it said free parking. I was angry, because everytime you purchase sonething these days, businesses are charging hidden fees. Hampton should have notified Expedia. How diffucult could that be.?

Cost to park

Our day was good. I had a good time. Place seem to be pretty good. Breakfast was not up to quality in power. Whoever does the breakfast stuff very unpleasant and food was cold not very pleased with it. Also is the parking fee to stay out of motel and never had to pay that before $15 a night plus tax the parking a free parking lot at a hotel get real.
