Cool room
We booked the 2 king room. It was a really cool room. I’ve never stayed in a hotel room with an upstairs. One king bed and bathroom is to the right when you walk into the room and straight ahead upstairs is another king bed and full bathroom. Both upstairs and downstairs had a balcony that overlooked the parking lot and you could see the lights of downtown. It’s a great room for sharing with your kids or other adults since the space is so divided. It was clean and the beds were comfortable but it definitely needs some updates. But for the price who could complain? The continental breakfast was convenient and had plenty to choose from. I like that there aren’t any stairs up to the second floor but ramps instead. Makes bringing your luggage up very easy. Overall it’s a great place to stay with a good price and walking distance to downtown.

Needs some improvements and renovations
The room does not look the same as advertised on the website. They need to renovate the rooms. They had a safe with no key bolted to the floor, outdated air conditioners that were very difficult to control to correct settings, and not very safe for children. Our daughter fell into the tub because it is not tall enough. The location is good for the price but it deff needs some remodeling.

Don't believe negative reviews. Updated rooms!!!
This is the first time I have stayed here although I have seen it numerous time on my trips to G'burg. The room was clean, the beds fairly comfortable and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We had reserved a 1 queen bed room with a fireplace through hotels.com, but we decided we wanted to go a day early. There were no rooms through hotels.com, so I called the hotel and they had a room. I asked if we could just get the room we were going to be in and not have to move and the young man (Dev) said "yes". We got there tuesday night and when I checked in I made sure we could stay in the same room. Well, evidently there was a change and I was told we would have to leave the room the next morning. When I told them what Dev told me, the young man at the desk immediately made the change and we were able to stay in the room. Because of the trouble, we got the 2 queen bed with a balcony. I couldn't ask for a nicer group of people at this hotel. The ONLY negative is the water pressure in the shower. It is not good. I don't understand any hotel these days that doesn't have good water pressure, but we survived. (LOL) The light in the bathroom isn't bright, but that didn't bother me. The water was good and hot to take a shower and they have fans in the bathroom, which are unheard of these days. They even have a heater for the bathroom. Really cool. All in all...great stay. It's also close to Crockett's breakfast restaurant...where we eat every time. We also saw a bear our last morning.

Bueno y bonito no tan económico, pero bien , lo malo tienen que advertirte más acerca de los osos tuvimos una terrible experiencia con uno ya que en la madrugada un oso rompió el cover de mi Jeep para sacar algo de comida enlatada y no pudimos hacer nada también se ve muy inseguro las ventanas de la habitación no tienen protección si el oso quisiera entrar la rompe y ya , en la recepción no me ayudaron con alguna alarma o algo deberían tener algún sistema para que los osos se asusten y se vayan no volvería a quedarme alli

The area was just far enough away from the downtown rush but close enough to easily walk to every where. The river was visible behind our room and the gondola out the front. Perfect for us to enjoy a weekend in Gatlinburg.

Our room was spacious and clean. Bathroom could use a little update but the room appears recently renovated. Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. Easily walk to most attractions and restaurants.

The sidewalk next to the river had a sign for employee only access that seemed odd. The parking lot was very small and having to park along the edge of the building left the rear of my truck in the road with two other trucks.
