Very Disappointed. My husband and I recently stayed here for an Anniversary trip and I’ll be quite honest our initial impression wasn’t great. The entire place smells old and musty. The rooms were extremely outdated (more so than they look online) & when we first opened up the door to our room it absolutely wreaked of pot & cigarettes from the people that had stayed there before us. Everywhere we walked it smelled like pot our entire stay. We called the front desk to try and get switched to a different room because the odor was so bad. No other rooms were open due to the busy weekend so they sent the maintenance man (whom was very very nice) up to our room to give us a can of disinfectant spray… which did nothing for the situation. There were stink bugs in the room, the balcony was pretty dirty and the ENTIRE time we were there the place smelled like pot and cigarettes so we couldn’t go out on the balcony or open the windows. I will say on a positive note the beds were super comfortable and the Bathrooms although tiny were clean and other than smelling terrible and being very outdated & having multiple stink bugs the room was clean otherwise. We won’t be back and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who has any type of odor or lung sensitivities as you’ll just be smelling pot 24/7. Seriously not worth the money.

My creek side room was huge and was very clean with really high ceilings. I strongly recommend paying a little more for the upgrade. Given the great price I wouldn't take a star of for this, but I had to look very straight down to see the creek --- and my overall view was of a parking lot and a very high hill. I was on the 3rd floor so I think that a first room one would be ideal.The balcony was pretty nice. I chatted with the manager for about an hour one day. He is awesome. The indoor pool is really nice but sometimes the hot tub is really crowded. But once during my recent stay no one was in either. The outdoor pool was closed when I was there but it's fairly nice. It's in a perfect location I by a really nice and the entrance The Smoky Mountains Park.It's a 5 minute walk to the strip. I didn't eat there but the restaurant at the hotel was open for breakfast and lunch every day that I was there. However it gets great reviews about everywhere that I've seen. Also I like that it is family owned instead of the money going to some corporation. For the price this is a really great value.
