Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was very happy with this spot in Gatlinburg. The staff was very friendly and it’s very easy to walk right to the parkway on the strip. I thought it was very quiet and safe, too. I didn’t realize it is a motel instead of a hotel and I normally don’t want to stay at one. I would stay at this one again, though. I just normally don’t find it as safe to stay at a motel being that it is easier to deal with a break-in since the room door faces outside. I enjoyed staying here!

Okay place to stay. Clean and comfy. Aging like almost all hotels in Gatlinburg. Check in and out a breeze. No elevator if you are on second floor. Convenient to aquarium and main parkway. Plenty of parking.

WiFi and phone did not work. Bathroom was not clean. Sink faucet did not have aerator so water shattered all over. Balcony was dirty with cobwebs all over the place. Paint chipping everywhere in balcony. Main door was shabby and looked loose. Overall, the room looked very old and falling apart. Staff was courteous, helpful and tried to help but with limited ability to do anything.
