Great Downtown hotel for families

Perfect hotel for families. The indoor pool/waterpark is a wonderful perk for kids. Even my teenagers enjoyed the 2 bigger slides. The free breakfast was also surprisingly good with something for everyone. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very nice ! Basic but what was nice was the pool. It was a clean hotel and good breakfast! Very close to the man strip but on a hot day the walk felt further.. 15 mins to the aquarium which again not bad but it was almost 80 when we were there.

We had a great stay. The kids enjoyed the water slides. My only complaint was they had no towels un the pool area! It was a super convenient and easy walk right to the strip in Gatlinburg.
