people found this review helpful

the pics from other sites is false advertisement.. it isnt anything like the pics. there is no roomservice. not even for towels or rags.... there was a 2inch gap under the front door that let all the cold air into our room. the floor close to the bathroom was soaking wet from the dew of the back door. bathroom was so small that a larger person wouldnt be able to be in there.... very disaticfied with out stay horrible way to spend christmas!!!!!!!! we even had to take our own garbage out cause there wasnt anyone that came around to clean rooms, ect.................HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. and this was through a time share resort that sent us there. they said that that was the best place to stay..... well they lied

Room Tip: never go there

Terrible breakfast. Alot of very loud traffic outside. Tiny bathroom you can barely squeeze into. bad service. Yuck. Cheap coffee on breakfast. Took breakfast stuff up 5 mins. early. There are too many other good hotels in Gburg to stay here.

“adequate depending on your needs”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We spent one night there. It is located at the very end (toward Pigeon Forge) of the strip of hotels in Gatlinburg. Good parking, beautiful location on the river. We walked into the heart of town with no problem. Regarding the accomodations, just know that it's pretty old. No complaints, but don't expect anything updated (tv, updated bath, etc.). It does have internet access, though, and a fairly good free breakfast. For our needs (just sleeping), it was fine. However, if you're looking for modern and central location, you might want to keep looking.

“Noisy and can't sleep”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Room was clean, but the noise all night from the road outside the door was unbearable and we could not sleep (and we are not light sleepers). Convenient store across the street did not help much either with noise all night long. Should have known something was wrong when we pulled up and there were no cars in parking lot. Had to check out and find somewhere else so we could sleep. Will never stay here again!

Room Tip: Don't stay here if you need sleep.

“Good news / bad news: okay if you get a good rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed two nights to do some late fall hiking in the Smoky's. A room with a view and a fireplace sounded nice since it was a crisp autumn weekend. The fireplace worked and was a nice feature. Rooms have a balcony overlooking a stream and a view of the hillside behind which is nice. Our room also had a fridge and a microwave which is a plus for multiple night stays. The carpeting appeared old and stained but our room was clean. However, the facility sits right on the main road leading from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge and the traffic noise is very very loud throughout. In addition, the bathroom is very tiny, probably to accommodate the entrance to and from the balcony. The television is very old school as is the remote which is a far cry from even the most basic flat screens that most motels offer today. Overall I'd rate this a little less than average depending on the rate. It is definitely a $70-$80 a night stay. Paying anything more will disappoint most folks.

Room Tip: Fireplace is a nice touch during the fall and winter if you can still get a good rate!
