Great place to stay on a budget!
GREAT location, friendly service, clean and comfortable rooms. The indoor pool is really a hidden gem at this hotel! Best indoor pool I think I've ever seen. My kids LOVE to swim, so we always try to stay at a place with an indoor pool, but the vast majority of them are just your average square pool in a room. This pool has a waterfall, a little "grotto" to swim around, and the hot tub is up on a platform in a "rock" formation. Front desk staff was very friendly. We did not try the restaurant. Bathrooms were sparkling clean, which is a must for me. My only complaint, and I know this may sound petty, but I had to find something to complain about - the sink in the room was this seashell shape and it's totally flat on the bottom. So when you're brushing your teeth or doing anything in the sink, the toothpaste/whatever doesn't go down the drain. It just kindof languishes in the sink. I hate that. The location cannot be beat. Less than 1 mile from the main "strip," and the Log Cabin pancake house is a 5-minute walk away, if that's your thing. I'm so glad I found this little hotel and can't wait to go back!

One night stay
It’s was a one night stay. Room was great! Water pressure in shower was great plus lots of hot water. Indoor pool and hot tub was really awesome especially after doing lots of walking. Just watch out for bears!

Rooms were outdated but nice. No microwave in our room. I thought that was odd. There was one in lobby to use. Pool was amazing with hot tub and sauna. Would definitely go back… about 1 mile from downtown Gatlinburg. We had a creek side room. A bear visited parking lot across the creek and we had geese right out our balcony!

Ok for the price but could use some work
The app rated it an 8 was more a 6.5 maybe a 7. The guys in the Cafe were awesome and the food was good. Room could use an update some cracked tiles and the shower rod hanging by 1 screw. Not a bad walk to the main strip. Was ok for the price.
