Coming there not a first time, mostly because of location and pool area for kids! Everything looks pretty old but clean and they should do a heated pool, in summer time it’s ok but autumn winter it’s horrible, sauna would be great too! But all my family likes this place! So I am happy to recommend for the families with kids!

This property was a disappointment. The indoor water area was so heavy with chlorine and there was no ventilation. The smell was strong and it was so hot that I did not feel comfortable letting my grandson play in there. Towels were terrible. Mattress although not terrible as far as comfort but had spots on the mattress. Lamp shade had a big burnt spot and carpet had cigarette burns even though there is no smoking. Ask about a trolley and was told did not stop at hotel. Then on last day there was the trolley. Refrigerator did not keep anything cold. Part of the ceiling was ripped and hanging down. Convenient to the Gatlinburg strip was good about all I can say.
