Sheets had dried blood on them. People staying next to us was smoking weed all night and if we had the air on, it was coming up into our room so we were smelling it all night/day. We were told we would have to call Gatlinburg PD because the hotel staff could not do anything about it. Slamming doors all night and a lot of screaming.

We absolutely loved the room we were given. This was not our first time at this location, and it will not be our last. It is such a convenient location for easy accessibility to the strip in Gatlinburg and many great restaurants.

We have stayed here many times, it is super convenient to downtown and everything is walkable. Was a little disappointed that the indoor pool and hot tub was closed. And there was no room cleaning and no breakfast.

Cute and Convenient

Everyone was super friendly and very informative. Location is WONDERFUL soooo many places within walking distance. Beautiful view and super cute little place. You can tell the place is older and got a pretty decent facelift. Parking is very very very tight. Not much you can do about that though
