Convenient but that's about it...
This hotel is very close to all the shops at Gatlinburg. So it's convenient. But room service and customer service were the worst I've ever experienced in 45 years of traveling.

Pleasant but could be cleaner
The good: The staff was friendly and coffee supplies were replenished daily. It is located a convenient walking distance from the strip. The not so good: The room could have used a deep cleaning. There was what appeared to be a hair ball on the exposed pipe under the bathroom sink. The platforms under the mattresses were both dusty with hairs and miscellaneous bits of trash in the gaps in the wood. On the first night, our feet were black and gritty after walking on the floors. The window was very dirty. We also had to ask for towels every day because housekeeping would only leave 3 towels for the 4 of us. (We usually try to reuse towels more than once if there are towel hooks available to hang them but there was no such accommodation in the room.) This was our second stay here and I’m sorry to say that things have definitely gone down hill from what we recall from last year’s visit.

Fall break vacations
Large room, very clean, excellent pools, terrace with super comfortable chairs and all Gatlinburg attractions very close, just 3 or 4 minutes walking. This hotel is in excellent condition, very well decorated inside and outside the hotel... I recommend it with 5 stars.

It rained when I was staying there and my room started leaking, the front desk clerk brought me towels and said she’d put in a request for “them” to look at it tomorrow. When I was checking in, she didn’t say but maybe 5 words to me the entire time, and seemed like I was bothering her

This is the 3rd time staying there I only have 2 negative things.
#1 Pool was right outside our room. So kids were kinda noisy.
#2 Security wise there was not the security latch on the door.
Otherwise it was perfect for what we needed.
