It was great for a low price hotel in Gatlinburg. It was close enough to walk downtown which was nice. Everything in the room was great. We really enjoyed our stay!

Don’t stay there
Well, for the money I paid I’m requiring a refund. It was nasty horrible part of the leak in the ceiling in the bathroom. They knew all this and it was very unhealthy for my grandchildren. I had no money to go anywhere else and that was a lot of money to pay and I expect compensation ASAP from Hotels.com I have been bragging on y’all because if we’ve had problems in your past, always made sure it was fixed and returned to me so I’m not very happy camper and I do not wanna give you. This was disgustingly, horrible, and unsafe animals that were frequently coming around.

There was nothing I liked. Shower didn't work, unsafe area, room was not cleaned well, room had a terrible smell. Front desk guy looked like he had just worked outside all day. Granted the price was cheap, should have been cheaper. Would NOT RECOMMEND

I can’t complain really given what I paid for but just be prepared and don’t go in expecting holiday inn accommodations this is an old and dated property. Would I book again at the price point absolutely because I am cheap!
