"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff was great, breakfast was good , commissary was stocked and reasonably priced. The hotel is a bit off the main drag and can be a little hard to see, I did miss it once. This is the only hotel I have ever been charged for parking than wasnt valet parking. Not sure if all the Hotels in Gatlinburg charge for parking but $45.00 to park for 3 days is a bit much for seniors like us. I will definitely look closer at that next time. That would be a deal breaker. Hotel is nice and quite, which is more than I can say for some of the others we stayed at this trip."

"Beautiful, quiet location in Gatlinburg. Friendly staff at check-in.

Great Jamaican restaurant across the street with fresh bbq jerk chicken. Easy $5 parking right outside the front door. Parking at a hotel/motel in Gatlinburg is hard to come by. Local bus runs right outside the front door to the main strip downtown or you can take a short walk down."
