Great location

Great location and comfortable room. The only criticism I would have is that the aircon unit was too noisy and right next to the bed. Also the complementary breakfast was below the standard set by other similar properties

Easter trip

I had always seen this hotel and wanted to stay. I finally decided to book a room. The staff from checking in to checking out were very friendly.
Charles, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice stay in Gatlinburg

Staff pleasant and accommodating. Breakfast good, however not over the top as far as offerings go. Nice balcony on the river, it was charming to sit the an enjoy the river and its sound. Easily heard hall noises and footsteps above us from the room but not to a degree that was super annoying. The shower was A++. Nicely done with a great showerhead. Hotel is easy walking distance to all the attractions in Gatlinburg. Take the Gatlinburg bypass to get to the hotel (which is on the far end of Gatlinburg) to avoid some of the town’s congested traffic.
Guy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The whole time we was there the pool was out of sert. The breakfast was poor. Hardly anything to choose from.
Chris, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I appreciated the location, close to the Great Smoky Mountains NP and downtown Gatlinburg, the courtesy of the reception staff, the free parking. The breakfast could be improved for variety and quality
