The shower was an ADA with no shower door just a flimsy curtain so the water got all over the bathroom. I will ask for a NON ADA room in the future. Also I was put on the first floor so there was foot traffic in and out of the side door next to my room, which was sometimes noisy. Other than that it was fine.

Worth the money

Overall a great place to stay for a one nighter headed in to Pigeon forge. Clean and kinda comfortable (for a hotel). Our only issue was the crooked rocking chair toilet. Kinda hard to be quiet in the middle of the night when the toilet goes clunk clunk clunk when you sit down

I was put in room 130 which was filthy! There trash in the trash cans, dirty towels on the bathroom floor and sink, dried coffee was on the floor of the entry way and sink, dirty bedding, chunks of dirt and nerf gun bullets on the floor, the a/c and heat didn’t work. I called the desk to complain and was told to wait in the filthy room and housekeeping would come clean it. I was NOT staying in the room! I went to the desk to find out that that room should have been on an out of order list. They did move me to 137 which I had to wait (about 30 mins) for it to finish being cleaned. I wasn’t offered any kind of compensation for the trouble.

We had a great stay! The room was nice and clean. The hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. We didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant in the lobby, but the menu I saw seemed to have some great dishes. The location was great, with many restaurants, stores, and gas stations nearby. Would definitely stay here again.
