Great location and property. Room had no dresser with drawers for clothes. Stayed 3 nights and would have liked to unpack a little. Also no mention of required $15 per day parking. They charged it even if you tried to use a different option. There was no mention of this when I booked it here.

We were surprised to hear that we were being charged $15 parking even though we didn't notice anything like that when we paid through travelocity. We checked travelocity later to see how we missed that and sure enough, if you click into the site deep enough, you'll find the $16.46 parking fee (with tax), despite the travelocity website also saying "the price you see is the price you pay". We've been visiting Gatlinburg regularly for about 4 decades, and have never paid a parking fee at any of the several hotels where we've stayed. I guess we'll pay closer attention and watch out for shrewd tactics. We would never have booked had we known about the parking fee. Otherwise, the staff was helpful, courteous, and professional. The room was clean. Please note that when we go straight to the hotel's info through google, the "hotel amenities" link states "parking free") but that's google's synopsis, I guess, for which the hotel is "not responsible". We later looked at some of the "reviews" and saw that a NUMBER of people have complained about the surprise "PARKING" FEE! I guess it's our own stupid fault for not looking at reviews. This won't happen to us again so easily.

There was dirt and dust in between floor boards in the bathroom and living area, mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, hot water was not hot at all. Also the hotel has charged me numerous fees without explanation and no one had told me in person about the outrageous fees to park. Breakfast was undercooked and most items were very dry or cold.
