I had a pretty disappointing experience at this hotel. While the location was nice, with ample parking and close to downtown, the rooms were not at all what I expected–they were dirty and poorly maintained. The staff was friendly, but the overall service quality just didn't match the friendliness. Definitely not worth the price I paid.

The hotel had clean and spacious rooms with a lovely back patio overlooking the river, which was a real highlight for me. The staff was friendly and very accommodating when I needed to extend my stay at the last minute due to Hurricane Sally. However, the location had some drawbacks, like construction disrupting certain amenities, and the breakfast options could be improved. Overall, there's great value for money here, but there are a few areas that could use some attention.

Overall, my stay had its ups and downs. The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and attractions, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the rooms had a peculiar odor and appeared outdated. Though there were nice amenities like a pool, the dining experience didn't meet my expectations, with limited breakfast options. Given the price, I expected a bit more comfort and cleanliness in the rooms.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel which had a beautiful creek front balcony in a quiet area, but it was just a short walk to all the action in Gatlinburg. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though I found a bit of dirt and chose not to use the jacuzzi. The staff was friendly and helpful, but I experienced some trouble with heating on my first night. While the location was nice and peaceful, the misleading description on the website was a letdown.

The room felt like it hadn’t changed since the 70s. While it was fine overall, the back door didn’t lock, and the view from my balcony was less than appealing, overlooking some trash and cigarette butts. However, I really loved the mountain stone fireplace and the private balcony by the creek.
