Vacation trip
My son & I enjoyed our stay there. We enjoyed the river view from the balcony it was very calming. The location of the hotel so close to restaurants and shop within walking distance. There is also a gas station a few away from the hotel.

We were just going to be in Gatlinburg for one night on our trip. So glad we found this hotel. It was a huge room for the price. This is a hotel in a busy town but it was really quiet the night we stayed.
The room was huge. After being in a car most of the day it was nice to be able to stretch out.
The deck overlooked the river. We even saw a bear walking through the stream.
We would stay there again if we ever go through town again.

Good Gatlinburg hotel stay if you want on the stri
The rooms was clean and larger than most hotel rooms. It has a nice size balcony overlooking the water. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is very quiet which is nice. Convenient location right off the Gatlinburg strip. The mattress on the king bed needs replaced. The breakfast was fair at best. Very limited options available, needs more food options. The coffee was good. We would stay here again.

Good place to stay!
We were looking for something on the River and we found it in this hotel. Room was clean and looked like it had been recently updated. Balcony view was perfect. Very good pricing for the accommodation.
