Breakfast was limited. Same choices, egg sandwich, pancakes, oatmeal. Dehumidifier kept going off & had to be emptied. Bed was comfortable, wi-fi worked well. Great parking & trolley stop was convenient to town.

From check in to check out it was an easy process. The lobby and amenities were great! I would definitely stay there again. One suggestion though it was my anniversary and they shut down the firepit at 10pm. Maybe the hours should be extended on the weekend or moved to a spot on the property away from guest bedroom so others can enjoy.

Cleanest hotel in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge

The staff treats you like family. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are all updated. The pools are very nice and fun. The rooms are very affordable and in a great location.
