Just wish that you didn't have to ask for daily room service. Think that it should be an automatic daily task for staff.
I stayed once before at this property and it was great. But on the second time around, everything horrible. However, not enough stuff, the room was unmanaged need a upgrade. Paint coming off the wall, my bathroom was dirty had to buy cleaning supplies and cleaned it up myself. Had dirty pillows cases on my bed. Decided not to returned next season. 😒
The room was filthy! Hair all in the floor. Mold growing on most surfaces. Couldn’t even see out the window and the smell was damp and horrible. The breaker box was only covered with a piece of vinyl flooring stapled to the wall with breakers exposed. When we went to the front desk immediately after checking in we were told we would be given a full refund. Now they won’t answer any calls from myself or Expedia. We have tried numerous times and I am far beyond dissatisfied!
The pool was in poor condition to the point that I reached out to the front desk 3 times to get an answer why the water was cloudy and if it was safe to use, never got an answer, the common areas had cigarettes butts for days that never got cleaned, we stayed 4 days but the dirty areas remained the same, my final complaint is that the bathroom door could not be closed, this unreported and nothing was done. One positive thing is, the location of the place is convenient to get to many attractions since it is located walking distance to most attraction in the heart of Gatlinburg.
The room was clean and and had the amenities it posted on their website the bed linens were clean and smelled good the towels as well. The hotel itself was in a great location within walking distance from attractions,dining and sightseeing
Absolutely amazing stay in downtown Gatlinburg. Walking distance to everything. It was very nice to not have to pay for parking in Gatlinburg which saved money to do extra stuff. Breakfast was great every morning, different selections as well.
The staff was great. The morning breakfasts were also good. We had a handicapped room that was so musty and damp that the sheets. Towels our hanging clothes and even the toilet paper were damp with moisture the entire 5 days we were there. I comained to desk but nothing was done.
