Pros: Very quiet and clean room. We had great quality sleep there. There are indoor and outdoor pools. Laundry facilities are also available. Helpful staff when we have requests. Cons: check-in process was not smooth. The check-in location isn’t the same as the GPS location. We went to the wrong place and saw a lot of other guests did the same. In addition to providing the check-in location address, it would be better if the instructions added a reminder that the check-in location is different than GPS location. Otherwise many of us would assume they were the same. Also, it would be more convenient if there were more obvious signs of garage entrance. We saw lots of cars driving into the oversized parking lot which needs a permit.

It is not nearly as pretty as the pictures make it look. Our room had problems, the a/c leaked during the day. The heating didn’t work well in the evening.

My daughters and I had a great time. The room was spacious and very clean. The pool was freezing but we didn’t care. The hot tub was nice after walking around all day. We come about once a year and I’ll most likely stay here next time.

We scheduled to stay at one property and they moved us when we got there to the other property without the pool with no warning or discount. Some hotel staff very helpful. Others not. Property is old and not updated.

Great location, right by lots of cool places to eat and shop. Trolley stop very close by, can walk to it. Jacuzzi bathtub is awesome, as is the private balcony. Only complaints we had were minor things: shorted out light switches, missing light bulbs, tv remote didn't control the tv. However, the one single thing that would make me reconsider staying here again: the elevators. Extremely slow and seem to have a mind of their own when it comes to going up or down. Never seen an elevator behave the way this one did. Overall, great place! Some minor repairs and adjustments would make this a no-brainer for all of our visits to Gatlinburg! Also, if you stay, go to the Log Cabin Pancake House across the street!

My only complaint is the parking. The underground parking lot is extremely hard to park a full size SUV in, especially when other vehicles park in the middle spot of the 3 spots there. We had to park up the street at the main location where the overflow parking was and walk back to our condo. Other than that, I was pleased.

Great Location, But Desperately Need Renovation

The unit had several positives, including its close proximity to the city, a fully equipped kitchen, and a nice view. The two bathrooms and ample sleeping space made it convenient for our stay. The balcony with seating was a nice touch, and the ability to self-restock supplies as needed was a plus. However, the overall condition of the unit was disappointing. It was very old and rundown, long overdue for a refresh. Dust had built up on fixtures and furniture, the wallpaper was peeling and dirty, and there was visible water damage on the walls. The showers drained slowly, the grout was filthy and blackened, and the mattresses were heavily worn, sinking in the middle. The living room furniture was also in poor condition. The exterior of the building was similarly neglected. Sidewalk tiles were uneven and hazardous, and the once-pretty fountain pictured online had turned into a dumping ground for garbage bags. The balcony and walkways were in desperate need of a power wash. Overall, while the location and amenities were convenient, the lack of upkeep significantly impacted the experience. A thorough renovation and better maintenance would make this a much better place to stay.
