Roomy. Mold in bathroom and in corners of room. Smelled like wet carpets? Or pool water? Front desk girl asleep at the desk, unable to give any direction to activity. They had painted over areas of mold on the bathroom, and the mirror was chipping and black around the trim. Door to balcony was missing paint.

There were cockroaches in our room. I do not suggest this place to anyone. Bathroom was dirty and door handle was broken. Bed made a huge boom sound extremely loud when going to pay down on it because the box spring was mental and it was warped.

When booking I thought I was booking a hotel. It was nothing but a run down motel. Room and carpet had a damp feeling. Ceiling was gross and had appearance of bugs. Bathroom was nothing but a water closet. Photos were deceiving when booking. Front office was dirty and a mess. Girl checking in was more interested in watching something on her phone or computer. This was not a comfortable stay and couldn’t wait to get out.

The room had a nice view ,bad smell and the breakfast was really good, but the behavior of the staff was completely inappropriate. As soon as we arrived, we realized that the toilet in our room was clogged. We asked them to fix it, but unfortunately, they gave us a plunger and said we had to do it ourselves. Even when we contacted the hotel manager, she said it was our responsibility and that it was the hotel’s policy for guests to fix the toilet themselves. It was ridiculous 190$ per night and this situation.

This property was located on the end of the main Gatlinburg parkway, which made it very convenient to get in and out when going to the national park. We walked to anything in town that we wanted to do, as far as eating, Anakeesta and the Skylift Park. I would stay here again as it was reasonably priced and so convenient. The balcony had a ton of spiderwebs on the railing, but was still nice to sit out and listen to the river. Would be great if they gave you a small table for the balcony.
