The room we stayed in was a little outdated but we liked that. The room was so huge and was very inexpensive. The walking distance to shopping and dinning was very little and was in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The complimentary breakfast was way above your traditional other hotels. We will definitely be reserving another room again.

This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at across the United States. The area is close and convenient to everything. Right in the middle of the parkway. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The food at the breakfast buffet was fantastic. All homemade and delicious. Room was clean with a great view of the Smokies. I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. They also gave us a tiny loaf homemade bread on our way out the door as a thank you gift for staying. Just phenomenal.
