Room was outdated but spotless! I will stay again.
Stay away from this disgusting property, it’s infested with bed bugs and cockroaches
I had really bad experience.
I got bites all over my body that night. I contacted the person in charge kart in who offered a refund that they obviously did not honor.” I contacted Expedia and they told me was no refundable
Room was clean. Bed was uncomfortable and not the best. Only came with 3 pillows, for a king size bed I would expect 4. Balcony with rear view room titles deceiving. It’s just a second floor room. Parking is limited and fills quickly.
Ok for a cheap, short stay.
The room (115) smelled musky had mold forming above the desk had no coffee maker also had cockroachs had no water pressure and no actual hot water in the shower. The elevator does not work. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone and I will never stay there again.
The motel is old but well kept. Nothing fancy...kinda old but in good shape. Room was comfortable for the price. It has a refrigerator & microwave. New A/C heat unit worked well. Great location next to river on Parkway Drive near Dollywood Blvd. Manager was very nice & accommodating. It is my new, affordable, convenient place to stay from now on.
The room was very cozy & clean, great price, convient location, friendly staff, awesome shower head, towels folded fancy. I loved the warm atmosphere of the room. Will be coming back.
Everything was good. We hardly stayed in the room. Just for few hours of sleep. Saw a few complaints by others about bed bugs. But there was no such problem. Easy access for shopping and food.
