ITAMAR, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Just stayed the night, in late afternoon, left early in the morning. Awesome place, our room was in the second floor and I looked the river. We walked to dinner at Chesapeake, then walked up to Starbucks in the morning for coffee. Most ships were not open but, we were on a schedule and had to run. Would definitely stay again

Very attentive staff. Overlooking the river from the room balcony was the best and all you could hear was the rushing water from the river. Would definitely recommend.

Belinda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Had a really nice few days here. Some troubles with the access codes but the staff was very friendly in solving it. Rooms are very nice and very relaxing. And what a beautiful view from the balconies. Perfect way to end a day of sightseeing or hiking.
Hendrikus Maria, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I do t have a bad thing to say about this place. It’s soooo close to the busy downtown Gatlinburg strip but feels works away! Quiet is an understatement and the dedicated parking is a godsend. Within walking distance of literally everything, and right next door to some of the nicer restaurants on the strip. Highly recommend Heirloom for both dinner and breakfast and RIO and Chesapeakwere both great too! Probably not the best place for kids.
Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Was nice. Wish there was something in the room to explain the fireplace, the check in and check out time.
wendy, 2-night trip
