Wonderful

Property was nice creek in front was pretty, room was very spacious and clean, apple juice at breakfast is great!
My only dislikes are not everyone eats sausage, bacon at breakfast would be great. And maybe a large mirror in the room, hard to ready with more than 1 woman in the room.
Over all great place to stay still will give 10/10!
The property is in an okay location. The walls are very thin. So if you’re looking to get away and want peace and quiet this is not the place for you. They have a nice indoor pool and gym. Housekeepers can do a better job with cleaning, found hair throughout the room and in the bath towels. The water pressure in the sink was very low and wasn’t hot but the shower pressure was good. The air vent in the bathroom doesn’t work so the bathroom will get super hot. Breakfast can be a little bit more better, the eggs was to watery.
Evening staff Alexandra was excellent, very professional and friendly doing her job. Honored any requests promptly. She did our check in and got us a room on the first floor for easier access. Day shift staff was very nice and helpful as well. This hotel was nice and clean appeared newer. We enjoyed the kitchenette and spacious suite. I will recommend to family and friends. I would stay there again if I return.

Loved staying here. Beds were comfy, hotel was clean and in a safe area. We got to see a black bear roaming. Definitely would stay here again. Only thing I didn’t like was the parking lot fills up fast.
Close to Gatlinburg. A 3 min drive. Staff was super friendly. Room was clean and breakfast was good. Literally no complaints. Would recommend and stay again!
