Situation NOT handled OTHERWISE BEAUTIFUL PLACE

We didn't get to stay the weather was so bad we missed our 3pm check in. I continued to call and update the hotel on our obstacles. We didn't arrive until 8a which would be our 2nd day of the rental. I asked if we could please be refunded due to the weather and road conditions. Or if we could stay an extra night. Each host told me to speak to their manager who would arrive 11am. Apparently I missed the managers arrival; because the third party booking emailed stating it looks like they're not willing to make any accommodations or refunds. Then the power went out in our room. Instead of being a total beeee about it-- I was understanding and courteous you know like I expected the manager to be towards me under the circumstances. I can say the place looks run down outside but the rooms are beautiful and our view over a nice creek of beautiful stones and a few fire pits and hammocks .. The ambience was spectacular. The trolley stops right above the parking lot. Everything was perfect even the Hot/Continental? Breakfast only things hot were eggs, gravy, sausage, biscuits make your own waffles NO THEY'RE NOT BEAR SHAPED... cold were Cereal, yogurt, fruit, coffee and juice...

The hotel itself is old and starting to show lots of wear. The exterior of the building has been neglected. The rooms have been updated and aren't too bad. The property is close to the Gatlinburg shuttle stop (purple route) which makes it easier to get in and out of town.

The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The door to the balcony was busted at the bottom. I was worried about insects or snakes coming under the door since we were on the river. Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. Pool wasn’t the cleanest. Lots of sand in the bottom.
