The hotel is just a little bit off the strip of Gatlinburg. With a toddler it made it convenient for us to walk to shops and come back to the hotel when needed. The room was very spacious and clean. At the hotel they have 2 pools and they were clean and very nice. I would recommend this hotel to people heading to Gatlinburg.

The air conditioning was loud and not working the best. Parking was good. The room was not like the one pictured in the ad, black mold above shower. The stopper in the tub would not stay up we had to stick a small bar of soap under it in order to take a shower. The refrigerator would not even get a little cool. Rotten boards outside our room. A piece of heavy equipment in the parking lot was leaking hydraulic fluid on the asphalt. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would not stay here again.

Great place, outside lights annoying.

Great location. Very clean. Liked the balcony. However, there's a light on the balcony that comes on automatically. It's VERY bright at night and you can't turn it off. Also, the unit we were in on the second floor, there were blinding parking lot lights focused DIRECTLY at the balconies. You had to put sun glasses on to be able to enjoy sitting there at night. We do not recommend the second floor units facing those lights.

The rooms are nicely updated & the staff is great! There are two pools with slides, & one of them is heated. All of the rooms have balconies. There are two fire pits for gathering around & meeting new people. The hotel is only a couple of blocks from the main trolley stop & downtown. It was a great stay!
