Took a mini vacation with my sister. We loved the balcony overlooking the beautiful creek behind the hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly throughout our visit.

I really liked our stay here! The property was clean, and tidy. The sound of the river on the balcony was heavenly. Its a budget friendly place to stay, especially for the Gatlinburg area (its right off the parkway!)

A solid 2.5 star Inn. On arrival, the individual at the desk answered the phone while I was checking in with him. The room was filthy. The carpet was dirty and left socks dirty. Spiders and spider webs throughout the room. Smashed bugs on the walls and ceiling. The comforter was dirty. The towels were stained and scratchy. On our last day, I asked for a new set of towels as we ran out and came back from a hike at 1:50pm but was met with rudeness when I asked for a new set of towels as he was folding them. I was denied and advised house cleaning was busy and on the other side of the Inn. Only when I brought my old dirty towels down and exchanged them was I allowed new towels. The water pressure was poor and the craftsmanship as well. The shower head wasn’t even attached to anything behind the wall and could be moved freely. The creek behind the Inn was nice and is why I have an extra half-a-star. Downtown Gatlinburg was a short walk away and easy to get to. Due to the disgusting nature of the hotel room, I would not stay again.

The location is truly convenient and the creek is amazing. The sound is soothing. This place is so dirty: cob webs everywhere, trash everywhere, left over soap in the shower, dirt in the corners, pillows where like kid pillows, towels are rough and tiny, and the bed needs updating.
