Lesley

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was clean and convenient to attractions and dining options. Very walkable. Staff was courteous. The walls between the rooms are fairly thick. This was greatly appreciated when the barn animals next to us thought it was acceptable behavior to have loud drunken brawls each night with yelling, wretching, and moving furniture. There was no front desk call option on the room phone and I didn't think it warranted a 911 call. But it would have been nice to be able to call the front desk easily for some help. I was too uncomfortable to go out there by myself in the middle of the night to knock on the door. And I know the nice families with their kids staying at the hotel for spring break would have appreciated it too. In spite of that experience, I would definitely give the hotel another chance.

This property is close to everything and is in the heart of Gatlinburg. We did not have to use our car since we walked to restaurants shops etc. the surrounding area is full of hotels and restaurants (there's a Cici's pizza) we came in January 20-22 and paid close to $90 for 2 nights. There's a river that runs next to. For our family of four it was perfect, we had a room with one queen size bed and a sofa bed, a whole bathroom, TV, small fridge and microwave. Space was limited but walkable. The only inconvenience is that the bed had only one thin blanket w holes although it looked clean and one thin comforter, the cheap ones, combine that with freezing temperatures and the formula doesn't work. We did bring our own comforter so all in all the room worked for us. They do have heaters in the rooms let me mention that. The whole area looks clean. For breakfast they have a little more than a Continental breakfast. They have only 3 tables next to reception desk, not a lot of space. Overall, for the price I think it's a decent place to stay
