The only good things about this hotel were the wonderful front desk staff and the gentleman setting up the breakfast and the location of the hotel being right by the river and walking distance to the town. My low ranking is this hotel is very very dirty in general. The room was cleaned okay but the premises, balcony, elevator, corridors were very dirty. The hotel was very run down. I wouldn’t stay here again

Property was well placed with a creek in the back with the balconies overlooking. Pool was refreshing. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. Room was spacious and well equipped with a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Location was also an advantage with being half mile from downtown. Also, the trolley stops right in front. Highly recommend.

The hotel was clean with all the basic necessities. But nothing extra. And for the price I guess that was ok. All fixtures and furniture appeared to be new. There was no closet in the room, which was weird, but they did have some hooks on the wall. The staff were super nice.

Great experience in the heart of the Smokey Mountains. Beautiful scenery and a dreamy atmosphere with the balcony over the creek. Very spacious and romantic atmosphere that reflect the mountain theme. Closed to downtown. Full amenities. Ok limited breakfast buffet. The furniture could use serious updates, sofa was very old and the bed was not very comfortable.

Nice hotel right on the brook with back doors to individual sitting areas on the water. Rooms were sufficient and clean. Hotel staff greeted with a warm welcome and were very helpful. Only complaint is the breakfast area no eggs or breakfast meats mostly bread items and pancakes. Overall stay was pleasant.

Staff is friendly. The property is outdated. Our shower floor was wobbly, from water being under the shower pan. The light on our patio was hanging down by the wires and not attached to the ceiling.

This hotel was great! Super friendly staff, amazing pool with two slides, clean room. The price was amazing. Location is great to walk to downtown Gatlinburg. The back walkway by the creek was lovely. We saw bears in the evening. New clean towels were brought in daily, but beds were not made. My only 2 complaints are the fitted sheets did not stay on the bed. Maybe a little sheet upgrade is needed. And I would have loved some protein with the free breakfast. But the kids loved the pancakes!

We had a great stay! Everyone was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious and in very good shape. For the price we paid, I would not hesitate to stay again in the future. Loved the creek side balcony as well. We even got to see a Black bear come down on the opposite side from us to get a sip of water. Thank you! Carl M.
