Great for location but,, the entire property is wildly outdated!! The hotel is in dire need of renovation from top to bottom! Just for example, the mattresses are probably 30yrs old. But again, great location 5 min or less walk to down town gatlinburg

To someone who has never been there, the check in is hard to find, The heat and air unit in our room was noisy and the heat would get hot and then get cold with touching the controls.

The room was okay, the location of the hotel is great! I got a sour taste after having to pay an additional $16.46 to park at the hotel for one night. Just add the price into rates to start with and don’t start nickel and dime me when I arrive. Breakfast was good but they had one small pancake machine that stayed way backed up.

The good: Parking was easy and convenient, less than 20 dollars. Older property fairly well maintained. Kind and helpful front desk staff. Clean room with comfy bed. Nice view from river room. Excellent location. Not so good: lobby smelled weird. Halls kind of musty. Walls are paper thin. Windows did not keep noise down from outside, which was a LOT. Earplugs recommended! The adjoining room door was not locked upon my arrival. Neighbors woke me out of a dead sleep fooling with their adjoining door, which was very startling! Did not have breakfast since they kept me up all night. Yawn.
