The room was clean and a great location- about a mile walk into all the shops and restaurants on the Gatlinburg strip. Thin walls between rooms, so we heard everything from the neighboring room. Our microwave flipped the breaker and we were out of power for a very short while, as it was fixed promptly. However, we were nervous to use the microwave again after that. The room was very worth the value.
