"The pool was very clean and was probably the cleanest in any hotel I've stayed in."
"When I say traffic 40mins to go 5 miles literally so being right on the strip was great for walking, and parking."
"The convenience of being right on the main road in Gatlinburg was perfect!"

Being close to attractions like Ripley's Aquarium and offering pet-friendly rooms makes it even more appealing, in my opinion. It's a balanced option for those wanting to see the sights.”

6.6/10
My stay at this hotel was somewhat mixed. I appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the overall good condition of the hotel. However, the dining experience fell short with very basic breakfast offerings. While the location is fantastic, right in the center of everything, the service could use some improvement, especially with communication regarding housekeeping.
