Very good

I didn’t like that we had to walk out side of the room to get to the elevator but we also came in the cold months so there I was expecting it to be cold just wish it was blocked it but overall the place was great we had a massive room
beautiful scenery of the river right outside the room

Disliked: Staff & service
Our stay was good, the parking lot needs cleaning or swept. Trash cans should at both ends on walkways and walkways also swept on a regular. The front desk attendant should have a more professional appearance, shirt and tie. He looked like a maintenance man not a front desk clerk.
The hotel was clean, the front desk staff was ok, they did their job but weren’t overly friendly. The hotel needs some maintenance. The breakfast was good. The best thing about this hotel is the location.

Ok room for the price
A lot of things in the room were broken one of the TV's in the room had a broken screen and when I went to the front desk to tell them about it they just said yeah we know the only reason I rate it the way I did is because it was a decent price for the size of the room and it was clean and it is within walking distance to everything. With that being said though I will probably find another place to stay next time around
We came for a weekend get away. The hotel is within walking distance to downtown Gatlinburg. Was very pleased with the room and staff was very friendly

Worst Breakfast ever. There was nothing on day 1 saying the truck has not arrived. I heard the staff cursing the customers for spiling a little bit of food while serving. Overall, worse experience and dirty smell.
