Very clean and spacious! Very great view of the river. Bed was comfortable, free breakfast was great. Nice quit location, but close to everything! Only issue was wish they had better pillows. Overall one of the best rooms I’ve stayed at in Gatlinburgh
Very convenient to downtown Gatlinburg! Walked to all the shops and places to eat. Bring your own pillows!! Bed was comfortable but pillows were terrible. Clean and would stay here again.
Loved this hotel. View of the river from the balcony was awesome. Breakfast was good and everyone at front desk was always helpful when we needed anything.
Excellent location, walking distance to downtown. Very helpful, friendly staff. However, room I stayed in need of major TLC. Bed wasn't comfortable either
As always, this hotel was clean, quiet and amazing. Staff were helpful. Love the location. Love the balcony. Saw my first black bear on day 1 of checkin.
Staff were great but the hotel had mold all around the tub and baseboards and beds ware not comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was very weak and for the price I would not recommend it.
We also stayed at a log cabin with mountain view for a week and the cost for 3 nights at this place was more then the cabin for a week...
This hotel is a hidden gem. It was the best value for our money so far in our trip! The check-in staff was friendly, the rooms are updated and clean, and there was even a fireplace in the room. One of my favorite things was the bench by the river. So peaceful!

The place was great. Clean, good location and right on the river.
Loved having a balcony room with the creek down below. It was right off the main strip but in walking distance to all the entertainment yet felt quiet and secluded. Would definitely stay again.
