Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This property was a disappointment. The indoor water area was so heavy with chlorine and there was no ventilation. The smell was strong and it was so hot that I did not feel comfortable letting my grandson play in there. Towels were terrible. Mattress although not terrible as far as comfort but had spots on the mattress. Lamp shade had a big burnt spot and carpet had cigarette burns even though there is no smoking. Ask about a trolley and was told did not stop at hotel. Then on last day there was the trolley. Refrigerator did not keep anything cold. Part of the ceiling was ripped and hanging down. Convenient to the Gatlinburg strip was good about all I can say.

Hotel’s location is perfect, trolley is right there! Rooms were comfortable and clean, pool area was very entertaining for children. Breakfast was a great add on. Could use some updates around the property, but other than that, a great place for families.
