The 3br/3ba condo was a 2br/2ba with an attached 1br/1ba hotel type room. There was plenty of room for our family (my wife and I + our oldest grandson, his wife and their baby). Overall, the condo was clean and had nice amenities like a fully equipped kitchen and a large deck with access from the living room and main bedroom. We were within about 4/10 of a mile of downtown so walkable but be prepared to walk uphill coming back. The reason for the 'good' rating vs anything higher: we didn't have hot water nor did the fireplace provide heat. The maintenance staff came to check the hot water and claimed there was a boiler down but they were going to reset it. They never came back and we never had hot water. The thought of moving everything after we had already unpacked was not enticing especially with an infant so we toughed it out. The fireplace was nice to look at but there was no heat. There was some peeling and bubbling of wallpaper in places but that's just looks. Our beds were comfortable. The Gatlinburg Town Square is an older property and needs some updating but not a bad place to stay if you have hot water. We only saw 1 set of elevators, so we had a long, winding walk to our room. The service staff was nice so that was a plus.

Very clean. Only issue we had was the elevators smelt like paint. It was horrible. Smelt like they painted with a oil based paint. I will definitely be back here. Also they do not charge a 250 deposit. They just need a card on file for damages. Also they need to make it know that the parking garage is where you're supposed to park not park behind what would be the office. The office is actually down the street on the left. Thats where you check in. Other then that the room itsself was perfect

The location was nice and the room was clean. They are in the middle of change of ownership and it is a bit confusing... They act like a timeshare and try to sell you future access to this and other places, which was of no interest to me but others might like. Since our room was away from the main hotel, we would have had to walk a couple blocks to get to it(or drive). It was too much of a hassle. Being able to walk to down town was great! Might like to see it when they get done.

The place overall was nice. They just got bought by a new agency and are working on updates. The staff was awesome and helpful, very kind. The room did need some updates from age but nothing that was unbearable. The elevators was quick, the view was beautiful, the refrigerator was ice cold, new dishwasher, new coffee pot, nice roomy balcony, clean rooms. The only things that was challenging was the underground parking garage is a tight fit for a large SUV and the walk down to town was not bad, but coming back was a little rough. It does have the option to wait and ride the trolly back up the hill, but sometimes that's tough when you are tired and ready to get back. Also, if you get the 3 bedroom 3 bath unit, the heating is a little messed up. It will be hot upstairs and in the master, but the room with two beds it gets freezing cold in there at night. We even put a box fan in the hall area to try and pull some heat in there and it was still cold. But I would definitely stay here again, nothing was unbearable and overall its a great place with friendly people!

Our stay started with a very uncomfortable check-in experience. We were approached by a man who claimed to be a concierge but clearly was not. He told us the hotel had been taken over by a “new company” and that because we booked through Expedia, we missed a special promotion. After a long sales pitch and a staged attempt to “add” offers to our reservation, he claimed we were approved for a $100 gift card and a free future stay—but only if we attended a 90-minute presentation. Despite being told the presentation was optional, it was clearly a timeshare pitch. We declined. The stay itself was acceptable until the third night, when we discovered cockroaches in the kitchenette. After stepping on a large one, several more scattered under the cabinets when the lights were turned on. Shortly after that, all elevators stopped working, forcing us to walk multiple flights of stairs from the lowest level of the parking garage to our fourth-floor room. When we complained, we were told no refund would be given for the roaches or the broken elevators. We were also told we would be charged an additional $150 for not attending the “optional” presentation. The front desk stated she could issue a partial refund but refused to do so, and incorrectly claimed the hotel was clearly advertised as a timeshare, which it was not. I would not stay here again.

I'll start off with the good. The location was great. We were walking distance to a lot of great activities. Now, the bad.... everything esle!! When i booked the room, i was under the impression that there would be a jacuzzi tub like pictured. The room looked much bigger in the photos. The kitchen was very tiny and didn't have an oven.the balcony faced a lot of power lines and another hotel. My dishwasher was leaking water all over the floor which i didn't even use. The ice machine is a restaurant style with no scoop. So guest are contaminating the ice when they use whatever they use to scoop out the ice. No housekeeping, they expect you to take your own trash out. The whole place is outdated and in need of renovations. I paid over $550 for 5 nights. I wish i would have stayed elsewhere. I will not recommend this place!!!
