We have stayed at many Gatlinburg hotels, including the big expensive ones. This one provided the most comfortable stay yet. The bed was super comfortable, the fireplace was nice and warm and place is clean and well maintained. Can’t wait to go back!

Terrible housekeeping and upkeep on rooms.
We have been staying here for 5 years, and always pleased with the experience. However, this time was terrible. We brought friends, and both rooms were filthy, and very run down and unkept.

Its an older property and showing some wear and tear. But there is someone always sweeping and cleaning. Room was clean and good size. Not sure about table with stools for some people may not be comfortable or accessible. Loved the fireplace and I personally liked that it had no carpet. Staff was friendly and attentive.

Hotel is nowhere near a river. Backs up into an alley. Rooms are dirty, floors have hair all over them. Ac unit leaks inside, the floor was wet and black mold was present around the ac unit which is directly next to the bed. Would not recommend.
