We really enjoyed this hotel! Would definitely stay here again! • Very clean • Spacious rooms (nice cool temp!) with dishwasher/fridge/microwave! • COMFORTABLE BEDS!!!! • Great breakfast!! • Clean gym my kids worked out in each day • Only 5 min drive to downtown Gatlinburg! • Customer Service workers were very nice Few comments/suggestions for hotel: • put another mirror in main area of rooms so people can get ready if someone is in the bathroom • plastic spoons/knives were very cheap and hard to cut the waffles with • shampoo and conditioner were too watery • pool water was too cold. Pool was small enough to turn into a big hot tub…would enjoy a hotub more. ;)

The only thing I did not like was the other guest making noise and stomping around all night long complained to front desk they called but didn’t stop the noise I can say I payed way to much not to be able to relax in my room without it sounding like a marching band was upstairs but other than that the whole stay was nice

The hotel is very nice. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the description said it was in downtown Gatlinburg. That's not true. It's a 30 - 35 minute walk from the hotel to the start of the downtown area. In the summer heat & humidity, thats too far to walk. Thats very misleading.
