The pool and hot tub was amazing, the room is clean but if you plan to leave your car at the hotel and walk figure out the trolley schedule cause the hill back up is no joke

Need better coffee in rooms
Overall, hotel was good, only thing I would say I was disappointed about was the hotel did not provide fresh coffee in lobby, you had 2 servings in room and it was considered brown water, no flavor of coffee at all.

6/10 Good

Good location and great pool
Second time here so that said it's not anything special but for the most part it's decent for the price and location is good. It's an older hotel so it's not perfect but it was fairly clean and the pool area is probably an 8.5 out of 10. If your looking for something decent but not to pricey and walking distance from the strip go with this hotel

4/10 Fair

This place is old, run down, decrepit, and pictures haven’t been updated. It’s no place I would recommend and will not return to it again. The owners need to do a major overhaul on the rooms and property. There are very nice places to stay in Gatlinburg that are the same price and in great shape. Unfortunately we found them after staying at this place. Room had a foul odor. I will say, checking in was easy, the people were nice and friendly.

Quaint but quiet and not to far from the main strip so you can walk it if you wanted too. I would stay again
Levi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good
It was good the Cafe wasn’t open I think because of the renovations that we’re going on the week, we went not a lot of people they were doing construction and some of their rooms so it was a little loud, rooms were a little outdated and need some TLC
The cocking around the tube and the mirrors needed to be changed they were black in some spots
