We booked this room based on recent reviews, and because it is really close to the strip. Free parking for hotel guests was a bonus. Easy check in, while there is construction going on throughout the property, it's being done during the day, so it's not bothersome at all.

Very nice location in the foothills of Gatlinburg. Local shoppes were just a few minutes away walking distance. Amenities were very good. Quietly nestled away from the noise of downtown chatter, but close enough to blend in when necessary. The parking lot is pretty tight however and the spaces a little cramped, but workable. All in all we had a very nice stay here, would definitely recommend this location.

A really good budget-friendly option in downtown Gatlinburg! This hotel's location is super walkable to the downtown area, and I really liked that it's just far enough it's nice and quiet but it's also no more than a ten-minute walk to anything downtown. We wanted to book somewhere within easy walking distance to the aquarium and this hotel was perfect for that. Very easy parking as well! We really appreciated that everything was clean and welcoming, and staff were great.
