Top Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies Hotel Reviews

The Greystone Lodge on the River

The Greystone Lodge on the River

8/10 Good
"The location is hard to beat. There was a definite mold issue in our room with mold on the ceiling of the bathroom which had no exhaust fan. I ended up wiping it all down myself and making sure the door stayed open so it wouldn’t get as much condensation. The rooms are good sized. The pool was fine, smaller than I expected but it was fine. The rooms desperately need a facelift to include fans in bathrooms. The complementary breakfast was okay. Everyone found one thing they would eat. Fresh fruit or something like that would be a nice upgrade."
