It’s very convenient to Gatlinberg and Smoky Mountain National Park. It shows its age and there is no place to gather with your group (of 4, even). Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Expensive for the rooms

the hotel is in a fantastic location, and the decor is stylish and unique. the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. the only minor downside was that the breakfast area could get a little crowded, but overall, we had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again.

Your typical Smokey mountain hotel! A bit run down. A little dirty (the lazy river looks really gross and there were ants in our room), but it does the trick! The pool was convenient and fine! The breakfast was disappointing.
