Clean room, friendly staff, comfy beds, price was great. We definitely will be back! View off the balcony is beautiful. We even got to see a bear right off our balcony!
Amazing staff, perfect location to access downtown Gatlinburg. It's so close we didn't have to pay for parking. Bear spotting every day and every night from our balcony.

We cannot say enough good things about our stay! It was peaceful, walking distance from the main strip, and the balcony view was beautiful. We will definitely be back!
Great location, all shops and entertainment are in walking distance. We had an awesome time. We will recommend this hotel and will book it again in our next trip to Gatlinburg.
Room was ok, however there was trash left behind and floors did not look to be swept, parking was good. Staff was great!

We really liked the location. That was the best part and that the price was fairly reasonable. Things in the room were broken- there was a hole in the back of the bathroom door and the button on the lotion dispenser was broken. I wanted to tell staff about this when we check out around 8:30 am but the office was locked and there was just a drop box for the key. When we walked barefoot in the room our feet ended up black so you can see how the floors hadn’t been cleaned well. There is a balcony overlooking a beautiful stream but right across from our balcony was a rundown house and discarded rubbish in the creek
Such a lovely spot and stay at clean and it’s beautiful view of the creek was such a peaceful time. Another amazing thing is that most attractions are at a walking distance and don’t have to worry about paying for parking to explore this beautiful town. What an amazing experience, can’t wait to go back!

The staff was great and the room was just what I needed for my stay.
Older building but updated interiors. Definitely no frills but nice, clean and the sound of the creek is priceless. Parking was easy and the walk to everything is reasonable. Room could use more lighting.
