5 minutes walking distance to downtown Gaitlinburg. It is safe. I would stay there again. The only downside of being close to downtown is music/band playing until 10-11 pm
I love the property. And got to see the view of the forest when the black bears comes out.
And walking distance to the shopping plaza and restaurants and gift shops. It was worth the trip. Definitely will come back to visit again. 10/10
Great Place to stay, room was on the creek and had a great view and Family enjoyed the pool. Very easy and quick walk to Gatlinburg.

Liked: Staff & service
Rooms were well maintained if a little outdated. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Did have an issue with water pouring down from the room above me, but the staff were quick with the maintenance and the room change. Would gladly stay here again next time I'm in the area.
Awesome location. Not the best hotel but only used it to shower and sleep. Wifi does not really work. But if you are looking for a good location its right in the middle of everything.
The location was great for walking around downtown, However, our room was never cleaned and the building was likely built in the 70s and never updated. Although the AC worked very well and kept us comfortable in the unseasonal heat.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Outdated and not very clean however the location was perfect! Also they try and sell you a tour when you first arrive which was annoying. Just trying to check in not listen to a whole selling pitch!
We only stayed for one night. Friendly staff, property was clean, and the room was nice. So close to the aquarium and just a few minutes from most of the big attractions we came for.
Staff was professional, quick and informative. Room was clean, beds comfortable. View from room was cute, continental breakfast. Parking was sufficient considering we stayed during Jeep week.
Close to many restaurants, shops and the aquarium. 10 or so minute walk to all amenities.
Very pleased with the experience. Would book again.
Great hotel with super nice and friendly staff! We really enjoyed our stay overall. The only downside was the Wi-Fi—it was extremely weak and barely connected at all. We just wish they could provide a more reliable connection, especially for guests who need Wi-Fi for important matters. Other than that, we had a great experience!
