This was by far the worst hotel we have ever stayed at! Missing electrical outlets, disgusting dirty floors, the toilet was so dirty you can tell it is NEVER clean. Sheets, towels, pillowcases dirty with stains! I will never recommend or speak a good word about this place!

Loved balcony view and it was very peaceful and serene. Need a better smoking area because of your upstairs it is inconvenient to have to go all the down stairs in front of office to be a to smoke especially when you're having winter weather. All in all it's a nice place. Family affordable.

It is an older property, but it’s very clean. There was some mold on the ceiling over the shower, but no bugs. We saw a huge bear right in front of the doors on the bottom level.

3-night trip

8/10

The location is good and only a short walk to the parkway and the main attractions of Gatlinburg. It's an older facility but good value for families. The staff was friendly and helpful. The main draw for us was the balcony overlooking Bear Creek. The room was dated but clean. The only minor criticism is the lack of table and chairs for eating/sitting found in other similar units in the area. But overall a great experience for our family of 3 for the long weekend. Would consider this location again when we go back to the area.

Some highlights of the property are that it’s very clean and located within minutes of many attractions in Gatlinburg. The little river view from the balcony is awesome.
