Room was filthy and full of long black hair. I was afraid of bed bugs the whole time. We needed a roll of toilet tissue and had to walk to the front desk ourselves for it. Water machine was empty and when we told them, they said oh we thought that the machine was restocked. We checked every day to buy a bottle of water at night.

Location was nice. Walking distance to strip was good. Exterior door to balcony was in bad shape, but liked that it overlooked the river. Rooms cleaned well daily. Lady at counter hard to understand and did not like that they put a reserve on on credit card for the full amount for the week even though had already fully paid for room months prior. It was removed 24 hours after I checked out thankfully. Overall good experience.

The room was dirty. Sheets had hair on them. Floors needed cleaned. Shower was gross. No staff in the late evening for check in. Breakfast was terrible. The food was stale. Did not like the facility and won’t be returning

This is an old motel that "has" been renovated. New flooring (need transition strips) and new shower was nice. "Wood" furniture came apart when we set stuff on it. Chairs are well stained. Bed bases all made crazy loud sounds every time you turn in them. Mattresses are very stiff. Balconies overlooking river were nice. Breakfast was standard fare, but the teddy bear waffles were pretty cute for Gatlinburg.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! The room was updated, clean, spacious and the balcony on the river was amazing! Also the location is walking distance to everything. I will definitely be staying here when I want a quick getaway to Gatlinburg.

Checked in and while outside wasn't the greatest looking it didn't bother me. Got to the room to find the balcony door would not close, room was about 88 degrees since it had been open. Hotel staff got this fixed. Then started actually looking at the room and it was disgusting. The furniture was stained to the point you did not want to sit down, the floor was so dirty you did not want to walk on it. The tub was also dirty. It was too filthy to stay so we checked out after an hour and got another hotel. In the process of getting a refund if the Manager ever shows up for work. No way is this room worth what they are charging. Do not book this hotel. While the rooms were filthy I can at least say the night staff were polite and friendly.

Old!!

Pros: Location
Cons: Everything
Location: Close to downtown Gatlinburg. Attractions & restaurants. Only 6 miles to Pigeon Forge.
Booked online. No record of it when we arrived. They accomodated us with a room at a lower price. Very old hotel. Could hardly open the door to the room without bumping into the sink. Old carpet. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Decking around pool was dirty with cigarette butts everywhere.
