There is only grab and go breakfast. There are way better properties in the area that have full breakfast and cleaner. The rooms smelled like marijuana. There were rusty razors in the bathtub. The sheets on the bed had blood stains on them. We did ask to change rooms, which they let us change. The room we were moved to was about the same.

Awesome location, convenient to ride to the Smokies as well as explore Gatlinburg. Room service was great, everything was neat and tidy, there was a pool. The only complaint that I had was the breakfast not reaching my level of expectation. It was mostly readymade food. Otherwise, would absolutely recommend this for a long stay!

What i didn't like is no where in the pay at site did it show a $100 deposit so that is a unexpected fund we had to come up with it would have been nice to know a head of time. So only stayed one night and went and got another hotel which was cheaper and had no deposit at all.

Feel like a victim of a bait and switch. Booking was "Honeymoon" King and photos on web were a far cry from the room. Several safety concerns about tub as access was elevated about a foot up and not grab bars or anti skid to prevent injury due to fall. Property as a whole has seen a ton of TLC recently...paint, doors, etc. JUST NOT AS PRESENTED ON LINE.

Location great, budget friendly

Budget friendly, quiet location within walking distance to all things downtown, close to the Gatlinburg trail for walking, clean rooms. If you are looking for a place to sleep after a day of exploring with no frills, then this place is for you. Staff were friendly as well.
