Great property, clean rooms, close easy walking distance to the main Gatlinburg strip. The water park feature was a hit, although it is quite “splashy” and hard to avoid getting water poured on you going down any of the slides— so if your kids don’t enjoy being splashed, they may be hesitant. There is no hot tub, but a small-medium sized indoor pool. It was comfortable to swim in but on the lower temp end of heated pools. We only had two negative components to our stay: 1) The shower temperature wasn’t as warm as we’d prefer. I like hot showers, so perhaps it was just me, but my spouse and I agreed we wished they had their water heater turned up just a couple more degrees. The shower was fine, but I got out feeling a just a little chilly rather than warm. 2) We forgot an item in the room. Called within a couple hours of leaving as we were still in the area, and nothing had been turned in. Went back the next morning to check again and still nothing turned in. So we were a little bummed that someone from the cleaning staff decided to keep it instead of turn it on, it left a little bit of a sour taste in our mouth. Overall a good stay though, one bad apple doesn’t spoil the bunch. The proximity to the strip and having the water park area for kids is what sold us.

TWO things you REALLY need to fix: (1) Rm 424-Unstoppable drip bathtub faucet. And if you tighten the grip, it only slows down the drip and then you need Conan the Barbarian to loosen it. (2) Fix the darn TV channel guides to where they are actually correct. If the front desk hadn't given me one that was different from the one in my room and I would have missed the Celtics game. The staff was GREAT!

Compensation not honored

We enjoyed our stay, however following our second night there we were asked to relocate to a different room due to a water leak in the wall affecting the room below us. We were told they would make compensation at check out, but didn’t. No partial refund or compensation of any kind. We were not happy about that at all.
