Location great, budget friendly

Budget friendly, quiet location within walking distance to all things downtown, close to the Gatlinburg trail for walking, clean rooms. If you are looking for a place to sleep after a day of exploring with no frills, then this place is for you. Staff were friendly as well.

Could be improved

First the positives, The hotel itself is in an excellent location. Close to everything downtown Gatlinburg but tucked back by the river so it’s still quiet. The room was very clean and had a nice balcony (with the exception of swarms of carpenter bees). We were celebrating 25th our anniversary and looking forward to relaxing by the pool as the temps were around 85-87 but upon arrival the pool had zero water in it and we could not see this till we got to our room. It would have been nice to notify guests that the pool was closed. Only 1 elevator and after waiting awhile we decided to use the steps as they were closer to our room. The concrete steps leading up to the 2nd & 3rd floors were dangerously deteriorating. There was no signage saying not to use the stairs or no mention at check in. It wasn’t until we went up that we saw a couple construction cones but we were already halfway up and almost every step was crumbling. Beds were super soft but for us that’s is not a good thing. We both woke up with terrible back aches. Need to tweak something’s (better mattresses) and be more transparent about the pool and dangerous stairs and this would be a perfect hotel!
