This is our 2nd time staying here. It’s at the end of the strip about a block from the main road. Our standard room was clean and has been updated.

I liked how the front desk lady let us switch rooms bc it didn’t have a bathtub and it ended up being right by the water. The room was super clean and nice and I liked how it had a balcony. The room was spacious which was good since we have two toddlers. The breakfast wasn’t the best as they only had waffles and some muffins/bread/ some fruit but if you aren’t big on breakfast it will work for you. I recommend if you’re only staying 1-2 nights

Hidden Gem

This is one of those hidden gems in Gatlinburg. Along the river, but not right on the main road so it is much nicer. Rooms are older but still quite nice.

Definitely needs some paint and attention. Mold around baseboards and many baseboards missing. Shower faucet would not turn off and leaked (excessive) the entire time. Really musty smell—had to buy a candle. Get what you pay for as it’s a very cheap room for the location.
