“Attentive care”
I would like to thank the manager who handled my critical medical situation so effectively on the morning of 20 November. Calling 911 and answering all the questions. Thank you!

Room was neat and tidy. AC/heater was quiet and efficient. Although the river view (we paid for) was mostly another hotel’s windows view.

“An affordable solution for a rather expensive town”
We had asked for a ground room which we were given. The room was fine, nothing spectacular. Location was excellent, easy to find, easy to park, easy to walk to center of town, restaurants and stores.

“Clean comfortable stay!”
Clean, large rooms, sufficient parking, ramps to easily wheel luggage up to upper floors, nice staff and great breakfast. Good value for money and location was still reasonable and only a short walk to Main Street.

“Perfectly situated for anyone wanting a basic and quiet spot.”
Clean and basic and an easy walk to the main drag without the noise of the main drag. We saw a bear doing its evening wander around the hotel which was a huge highlight. Friendly staff. Would stay here again.

This hotel is tucked back from the strip but is still a short walk. Room was clean and the staff was very friendly! We arrived early after a 12hrs drive. All we wanted to do was freshen up and they graciously let us use the office bathroom. When we finished they surprised us and said they had a room ready early for us! The river view is beautiful and beds were comfy. We would stay here again!

“It was a very relaxing trip. The balcony view was awesome.”
We had the best river view on the 1st floor. We only stay there when we come to Gatlinburg.
