Disliked: Amenities
The location was very good, in center of town. But to get to the room we had to walk up stairs or a ramp. Ramp handles were sticky nasty. To get to the office or to Main Street we had to walk up and down a very steep road without a sidewalk. I did figure out I could walk across the parking lot to another building and use their elevator. They had rooms on the ground floor where they put our friends but not us both with lung illnesses.

Great location and good value for the money. Room was very spacious. The floor of the bathtub seemed to have water trapped under the surface so it was a bit wobbly and the decor is a bit dated but overall a great value for the price!

Best hotel location to be in Gatlinburg. Walking distance to the parkway, right next to Ripley's aquarium. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. Our room was big, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The pillows and comforters were clean and smells great.
