Great place to stay. Fit my budget, felt safe, it was clean, comfortable and easily accessible. We would stay here again.
Bugs in the room, no dresser, no hair dryer, no carpeting, breakfast didn't have any sausage or beacon, wouldn't give us extra pillows, pool was clean and warm, staff was friendly

Amazing location. Loved the creek and pool. The room was clean and neat. This is a no frills hotel option. Not a luxury option, and we were ok with that. The nightly bear sightings was alarming at first, but once we learned what to do (and not to do), we were fine. It’s just a regular occurrence in Gatlinburg. The morning breakfast could use some improvements. It was just underwhelming… otherwise this place was great!
Definitely get what you pay for...but it was good for the night
We got to see a bear, the pool was warm and beds comfortable. Rooms are very dated, peeling paint and not great outlets for plugs, elevator wasnt working and breakfast had good items but not much of it.

This property is a great place to stay. The creekside room with the balcony we had offered an area to relax and both night we saw bear in the parking lot. The rooms were clean snd the beds were comfortable. Location is wonderful walkable to all the food and shops in downtown Gatlinburg. Will stay again.
Mold in bathroom. Toilet seat broken. Dirty floor in bathroom. Actual room is not creekside! The "hill of death" if you plan on walking around. No way to get down to the main check-in for breakfast except to drive or walk around and there usually isn't parking available.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Dirty/stained sheets at check in, paint on the carpet, baseboards and fixtures. Carpet was visibly dirty, sink was falling apart, faucet shifted every time it was used. The door closed but has a gap opening. The ac was on but never cooled the room.
Super run down. Elevators don’t work. Parking is awful. Asked for ground floor room due to traveling with my elderly mother who has a hard time walking. Girl at the counter said that she’ll put us on the first floor. The first floor is actually on the second floor above the parking area. Again, elevators didn’t work.
Very clean, friendly helpful staff. Nice pool. Great breakfast. Very good value. Will stay again good location, close to everything. . Quiet at night, good bed.. we enjoyed our stay.
Room was very comfortable. Needed a rod for hanging clothes and a hanger for toilet paper. Breakfast was adequate. Missing breakfast meat. Front desk personnel were very friendly and accommodating.

The main hotel was full so we were put in another location that we had to drive to. We didn't have easy access to breakfast, the pool or other amenities.
The building we stayed in was old. The hallways were rough but the room itself was VERY GOOD.
Our stay was great. The price was very very good. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and bars. The room was very clean. Front desk girl was great when we arrived. I booked on hotels.com to get the better deal, not knowing i booked a handicapped unit, the frint desk gave us a difference room.
We actually got to see a bear right in front of our room. Very good hotel. We definitely will be staying there again
The room had an old molded smell and the bathroom light had blown out and it literally took them two days to replace it. The free breakfast was horrible they only served mini muffins, cereal, eggs, biscuits and gravy and waffles. We stayed on the hilltop and only had access to the main lobby if we drove down because the elevator was out of order. And was told not to leave any food in our vehicle because the black bears would destroy your car and retrieve the food. Downtown Gatlinburg is a wonderful location just don't stay at this particular hotel there under new management 🙄 and it's disappointing to find out after you have paid for your stay 😞
Creek was cool.
Got stuck on the pet friendly side with people yelling all night. Room was not clean. Requested move and the manager obliged. 2nd room was much nicer.
Breakfast food ran out every day, 30-45 minutes before closing.
Really liked stream on one side, hill view on other side, was able to park underneath, quiet, convenient to attractions. Only knock was floor should be wet mopped since sand or dirt was on it. Also, I plunged tub, plunger was in room. Fireplace had sketchy looking wiring to it. Otherwise, a really nice property. I would stay there again.
