The room and hotel is dated really , they really need to remodel this hotel. The bath top was really dirty, the sink table was broken. It's supposed to offer a grab and Go breakfast but they don't offer breakfast, they only give you coffee, cupcake. They don't offer offer room service . The only nice thing about this hotel is the location.

They need to update the rooms and provide breakfast at the hotel not just a grab and go. We had a rocky start but the staff was amazing at handling the chaos.

There were bugs in my room. There was no hot water, and staff was unconcerned. Maintenance said too many people were showering. The bathroom and bed area were not refurbished in the last 50 years, literally. The tub was in a state of disrepair. There was no drain cover in the sink. There is no housekeeping between check/in and check/out.

Room wasn’t ready for 2 hours after promised check-in. Was sent to a table to get my parking pass, was asked to join a property review for time share. I declined explaining we were heading into the national park, I was told they were now closed. I challenge that but was told there was a change where the Governor hadn’t extended it and all the park sites were closed. This was Friday, found out from other travels on Sunday the parks never closed. We lost a whole day we could have enjoyed, that’s wrong.

The room I originally booked was not ready on time. Instead of waiting, I had to accept a room that was deteriorated with a brick for a mattress. The room was so old that even clean, looked dirty. The staff was nice, but the room was unacceptable for the price.

Gatlinburg

This is an older hotel, but in good condition. The hotel is clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly. It's right next to the aquarium and very walkable to the downtown area. Breakfast items are limited.
