Very Good

The location was just what we wanted. 1 block from town and so many attractions, restaurants, bars and music. The room was basic, clean, dated decor but very roomy and ok. Note that there is no elevator if you need one request a room on the first level.
The front desk staff - both at check in and check out were super friendly! What a pleasure. Room was dated but clean. Would stay again

Liked: Staff & service
Perfect location for shopping the strip. Covered parking and could walk everywhere. Rooms are dated and could have been cleaner. Decent overall for price and location. Will stay elsewhere next time.
The parking was horrible. No handicapped parking and the dining room was so small a large family could fill it up. The floor was dirty in the room. Was like vinyl hardwood floors but when i stepped in the shower the floor was black. I was disappointed but i slept well.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
No issues overall for the staff and property. But there was for sure a domestic occurrence in the room next to me that made me super uneasy.
Our room was very clean and nice and hallway was clean and freshly painted. Parking was a little tight. Also breakfast wasn't good and only two tables to sit at.
The beds were very comfortable and the room was cleaned every day. It was quiet and close to the main shops in Gatlinburg. The only problem was the TV remote battery cover was broken and the batteries would fall out sometimes.
