Loved waking up to the sound of the active river below my balcony. Room was newly renovated and had super comfortable beds and pillows. We also enjoyed the hot breakfast that was included! We will stay here again!
Our family had a good stay, the location was convenient to the GSMNP and Gatlinburg attractions. Breakfast was ok. River view was good. One of the days, our room wasnt cleaned, they provided extra towels. Overall decent
Good budget hotel, away from the centre but good if you want away from the hustle and bustle at the end of the day.
Didnât try the pool out but did go to look at it, it was ok and covered and thatâs about as much as I can say as it didnât look clean but maybe it was just tired.
Easy to find and plenty or parking. Lots to do around it and a great Brazilian pizza restaurant close by.
The scenic river beside the hotel was beautiful, but being so close to the noisy, busy road was not. The rooms were nice. The pool area was very run down. It felt like you were swimming in the parking garage - which was right beside the pool. The location is walkable to the attractions downtown, which was convenient because parking is hard to find. The continental breakfast was just ok. I think if we were to go back to Gatlinburg, we would try a different hotel.
View from the balcony is worth the $. Amazing being able to sit almost over the creek like that.
The beds were comfortable.
The bathroom area (between sleeping area and balcony) is very small, whereas the sleeping area is very spacious.
The wall/door to the balcony is very nice and very soundproof, the other side, facing the road, is not. road noise would be an issue if you were a light sleeper.
Breakfast was very nice, clean area, well stocked.
Balcony chairs are VERY nice!
This was an average hotel and is good for the price. We stayed as a family of 3 ( 2 adults, 1 8 year old) and it was difficult changing privately because of the room layout. Typically in hotels we are able to just go to the bathroom but that room was only big enough for the toilet and tub. There is a little open room where the sink is, but on the backside is the balcony windows ( curtains do close) and then a mirror on bar space that shows a full view of whatever you are doing in the area from one of the beds. We just had to announce we were changing for a little privacy. There is also little storage in the rooms ( 2 smalls drawers and a closet) so we couldnât put away all of our clothes for the week we were staying.
The breakfast was standard continental breakfast food.
We planned to use the pool more often but it was very hot and humid in the glass enclosed room. A good 20 degrees warmer than outside so I couldnât imagine how that would be during the summer. They also didnât have any towels when we went, but I called the front desk and they brought some quickly.
The traffic is very loud at night, several emergency vehicles went throughout the night, and the river is also noisy. Nothing the hotel could help but it is something to think about if you need quiet to sleep.
The staff that we encountered were kind and professional. Overall, the stay was average at best but I wouldnât stay here again because of the distance to town. Itâs a 15-30 min walk to go anywhere.
We loved the room! It was spacious, beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the river. The shower was nice with different settings and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast bar was very good with lots of food for picky eaters to not so picky. It was close to the downtown area of Gatlinburg.
