Good hotel, reasonable price.

The location of this hotel is perfect. Close enough to everything but isn't on main road, therefore, was quiet. We loved the balcony with the river view. Parking was very convenient. The breakfast was a great way for us to start our day.

Great value

This is an older property that has been renovated. Everything worked and the unit was clean. Location is great. A short walk to the main Gatlinburg Blvd. Overall it was a good value for the price. We would go back. Staff was exceptionally nice.

Worth the money

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room above us had a water leak and it had effected the carpet in our room. They handle the problem in a timely manner. I wish there had been a light switch to turn off the balcony light. Location was excellent and plenty of parking. Will stay here again.

Christina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
