I booked a room with a river view. But you could not see the river unless you look directly down. Your view is other hotels. The room was out dated and smelled very musty. When I woke up this morning I had bug bites on my arms n my one leg. I did go to staff but because they didn’t see any bugs there was nothing they could do.

By far our best trip yet to gatlinburg.

Weve stayed in gatlinburg or pigeon forge many, many times. Weve stayed at some good places but never this nice. The pool was always a perfect temperature, hot tubs were wo derful on colder days. And the best part os, after over 2 decades of cisiting and even living in the mountains for a time, I fonally saw my first bear on the property. Staff was friendly and helpful, and we still miss the poolside cafe. We have found our new go to hotel in the area for sure. We will be back.

It is very outdated. The door to the room we stayed in looked like it had been ate by a pet and someone had tried to put their fist through the door. This was a pet friendly room I had my dog as well but I feel they need to do repairs. There was a very strange smell in the room that as soon as you opened the door was quite strong. It is in a nice location.

We got the King’s Suite for 2 nights, which we liked for the private jacuzzi and fireplace, however, the jacuzzi wasn’t cleaned, and neither were the floors even attempted to be vacuumed. The fireplace electric timer ticked so loudly it wasn’t even enjoyable to have it on. The whole unit was overall rundown and lacked airflow, and was either too hot or freezing. Staff was friendly, but didn’t have one extra blanket to use. Location was great- quiet and walkable to the downtown strip and hiking trails nearby.

Not what we expected

The description did not mention that these rooms were across the street from main hotel. Seemed like people were living there. No housekeeping even though we stayed five nights. A dog was barking a lot.

The location was perfect. The cost for the hotel room I found to be overpriced. The rooms are dated, musty, the carpet was dirty, curtains were dirty. Bathroom was clean, but it just wasn’t worth what I paid for the room.

Expected a little more updated room. They did move me and the service sesk has excellent staff. Our secind room was a basic 1 queen bed room. Needs updated for sure. Make sure you book for a creekside room with balcany if you prefer a nicer room. Walk is about .8 mile to the main strip. Trip to strip is downhill which means back to you room is uphill. There is a trolley thatbcame by but we never used it. Pool area is nice. Would stay again just on the regukar resort side nor the courtyard resort.
