Pros

Located beside a river with scenic mountain views

Cons

“The riverside setting stands out, though some may find the overall condition inconsistent with its price. Laminate floors in updated rooms represent a positive shift from older carpets. For travelers focused on Gatlinburg's attractions, its convenience is a definite asset.”
