Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The floors were extremely dirty. The bottom of our feet would be black after walking barefoot. We did not have any coffee or creamer in our room when we checked in. We checked in late so our room had been ready for several hours. We had to go to the check in site to get these items. We did not have any paper towels or a trash bags in the room. The sink in the upstairs bath dripped. The sink itself had a chip and crack in it which looked horrible. My husband had a spider crawling on him and his pillow case smelled like cologne or perfume as if the pillow case had not been changed out. It was not our best place of stay. The location was good as to walking distance to everything. The location was good to see the New Year’s Eve display. The decor of the room could have been better but mostly we would have been happy just to have a clean room.

Easy access

The hotel is very centrally located and easy access to Gatlinburg. Great place, clean, friendly staff. The only complaint is that it needs updated and remodeled. Ants were coming into the bathroom thru the wall.

Did not have any WiFi connectivity. Too expensive for the condition of the property. Did not have staff remove trash or change towels during the stay and hot water was a major problem. Showers too low and not conducive for people taller than 5’4

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
It seems to me that for the good location that the hotel has, they have it very deteriorated, the bathtub is yellow and old, as well as the sinks. There is only one person at the reception for the entire hotel. I wanted to get a drink of water and none of the machines had water. When I entered the room it had a strange smell. The carpet looks like it hasn't been changed for years. It disgusted me to walk there. I would definitely not stay there again with my family.

Great for the price

Front desk staff were great! She was extremely friendly and helpful. Our room a/c unit was stuck on heat so that made the room unbearably hot , we opened the balcony door to cool it off and sleep. Bathroom is a lil outdated but the beds were comfy
