After driving ten hours to get there, we we very happy to see a Clarion hotel in the distance, and we were anxious to get off the road and get some rest. Since it was our first trip to Gattlingburg, and we were there to get married, we decided on a suite. We arrived at approximately 9:30 pm and really didn't pay too much attention to our surroundings. After checking in our room we noticed the only closet space was a 2ftX2ft. locker. What was really odd was the fact that there was a 6 person hot tub next to the bed. I looked at my fiance and laughed and said "Looks like they must rent this room out by the hour". Since we had no closet space I guess you just use the hot tub for storage. At 3:30AM, that's correct 3:30AM, road construction started right outside our window. At this point I called the front desk to complain about the noise. Since we travelled from New Orleans I thought it was 2:30AM. No the clerk said, as she was laughing, it's really 3:30AM. What a concellation! Why weren't we warned when we checked in, and at $180.00 a night. Do yourself a favor, AVOID THIS PLACE! WE WERE OFFERED NO DISCOUNT... NOTHING! There are better places to stay. Also good luck on any dispute, because these people are prepared to do anything they can to keep your money. They can shove that $180.00 where the sun doesn't shine.
