Very enjoyable and Clean..loved the swimming pool
Teresa, 1-night trip

Hidden gem, close to everything.

We always stay here when we come to Gatlinburg. They had a water line burst and that caused the water to go out, twice, but they handled it promptly. We will definitely stay again.

Location, Location, Location! Right Choice!

Why is eco friendliness a part of the star system? That's stupid. Regardless. The hotel was perfect as usual. The renovated rooms were very nice. The pool was extremely clean. The staff were very nice. I've been going here since I was a young kid. This is probably my 10th or 15th stay at this hotel. It's the first time we have stayed under it's new name. We will come back.
James, 3-night trip
