I loved the pool, spa, and sauna. This place is in a great location, and the ferry stops right out front. The only downside is the pet-friendly rooms are a bit older, so the walls are thin, but this was no fault of the hotel's. We will definitely be staying here whenever we visit Gatlinburg.

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

This was one of my favorite trips that I have had. I stay in hotels a lot for work at the time and I know about all the places in the area to stay at. This is at the top of all my recommendations. American owned, American workers, and great service. They have amazing pools. Hot, hot tub, and the sauna is a great way to spend some time. I loved this place and please give it a try. You’ll be happily surprised!

The availability of the room I’d say was the best part of the stay. The tub wasn’t cleaned very well and for it to be up charged as a suite it really just didn’t feel like a suite, As well as my wife spotting numerous roaches at the property. At that point we the chose to check out almost a day early. Am really curious if there is something I could do or file about a refund request

The staff was wonderful, very friendly. Super easy check in. Rooms were clean. Older hotel, but it didn't have that old hotel smell. Beds were super comfortable. My only complaint would be the water pressure is lacking in the shower. We didn't get to enjoy the pool, but it looked just like the pictures. Convenient location, relatively quiet. We will definitely stay here again in the future. Great value for the money.
