Good value, clean, comfortable.
It is a clean hotel with all you need for a short vacation. Outdoor pool only, but looks nice. Close to Anakeesta, the Aquarium, and downtown, all good walking distance. Parking is free, which is a plus right in Gatlinburg. We have stayed here twice now, and liked it each time.

Its convenience to explore downtown Gatlinburg, on foot, where commercial parking cost $20 flat rate. (Hotel is free parking and has a lot of space) Clean and spacious room. Water pressure is not strong enough as common as other hotels. No breakfast service that it isn’t problem to us. Overall, great stay.

Love this place, will be back soon.
Staff was helpful and friendly. Everything was perfect…until the last night. Some noisy neighbors came in and yelled and slammed doors all night. The accommodations could not have been better. And it’s not the hotel’s fault that some people don’t have manners. We will be back to
