Great location, would stay again
Very nice location. Relatively clean room, it wasn’t spotless but was mostly clean. Very cozy. The faucet in the bathtub wouldn’t stop dripping, but that’s not a big deal. Otherwise, the only issue was running out of toilet paper because there was no extra roll and the one provided was half used. However, restocking of towels and toiletries was available. Would definitely stay again

Thanksgiving getaway
Lots of space in an excellent location close to the river. Comfortable beds and clean linens. We had a small dog and this was a good option for that situation.
Somewhat dated fixtures. Fridge was a bonus but the Keurig did not work correctly.
You have to order your replacement towels and other items for either delivery within a certain time or for pick up at the front desk. Not exactly convenient.

Thanksgiving in the heart of Gatlinburg
The room was great. Very Clean and comfortable. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The view of the skybridge and mountain side was perfect from our balcony. The location was perfect and with an entrance off River Road much easier to get in and out of Gatlinburg when traffic was heavy. We will certainly stay again. My only complaints are that the bed was very noisy anytime you moved and you couldnt shower without water getting everywhere, but those are minor and easily fixable, put a shower curtain in the shower and maybe a rug under the bed. Possibly set up the smart tvs with netflix and hulu or prime so guests can easily login. All in all it was a great trip and a wonderful stay.

It was rather expensive for the room. It had a squeaky bed and no bolt lock. It had a different picture on the hotels.com website. I would have never paid that much for that room other wise. The lady at the front desk was very nice.

Terrible housekeeping and upkeep on rooms.
We have been staying here for 5 years, and always pleased with the experience. However, this time was terrible. We brought friends, and both rooms were filthy, and very run down and unkept.

Adequate Stay
The bed and pillows were comfortable, but the sheets' elastic was non existent so the bottom sheets would not stay on. The room and bathroom had been remodeled so was pleasing and clean. The pool needs resurfacing, but it was too chilly to use while we were there. There are restaurants within walking distance and a free trolley will pick you up on the street outside. I like that the hotel is small. We were able to park our car right outside our room. We would stay here again if needed, but might opt for a hotel closer to the center of town.
