The hotel was good and so closed to all the amenities such as fun activities, stores, restaurants and the mountain. The food was good and breakfast and service was great. We were a family of 12 and we all were very pleased to have stayed here!!!!!
Well kept hotel, extremely clean, close enough to walk to downtown Gatlinburg’s attractions. The office staff was very friendly and answered all questions. There’s free parking available with stay, which is also an advantage. Had a great time with family!
We enjoyed the motel - it was great experience. Loved the hot breakfast (which was new since our last year trip), the room was very clean and staff were very helpful. Look forward to our next trip to Gatlinberg, we will definitely plan to stay there again. Also the price of the room was excellent.
This hotel is great walking distance from the main strip! There is a lot to do in walking distance so you don’t have to pay to park every day. Tons of shopping and museums!
Property was great rooms were very clean and we loved how close we were to everywhere it was walking distance and loved the fireplace they had great way to relax and enjoy mountains we just had some small little bugs we saw in bathroom and pressure in shower was low and it did take the water a while to get warm but besides that had a great time
Location is great for exploring the town on foot. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to visit. We enjoyed the balcony at the beginning and end of our days, as well as the hot breakfast each morning. Will definitely visit again.
Highly recommend this location for a multiple night stay. Location is super convenient to downtown. The room was perfectly clean on arrival and staff had our room ready at check in time!
