Ask for room 510

If you want to feel 70'/80's nostalgia stay here in one of the King deluxe suites. Room 510 has two doors to the room. Separate living room from bathroom and bedroom. Jacuzzi tub. Another door opens right to the indoor pool. It was a nice surprise. My husband loved it.

Staff was friendly. Good location. Unfortunately there was a water leak in the room which caused bad air quality. Maintenance was good and came within a few minutes but it still smelled like mildew and a high amount of moisture for the remaining of the stay. But more importantly, the parking is pretty bad. Not enough spots to park on the property. We got lucky 2 of the nights with finally finding a spot but our second night I had to sit in my vehicle and drive for over half an hour trying to look for a spot once someone left.

This will be my number one spot to come back to every time I come to Tennessee. The staff is great the stay was great, the restaurant is out of this world it is a little pricey but it is well well worth it the food is absolutely amazing, really you wouldn't even have to go outside the hotel if you didn't want to you could just relax and stay there all day without having to do anything. It was an amazing time thank you to all the folks down there you guys are amazing keep up the good work

This place is always amazing, me and my fiancé have stayed here now 3 times. We go every year around our anniversary. The staff is great, very kind and provide a lot of information about the hotel but also activities in Gatlinburg. The outdoor and indoor pool is great and convenient if a lot of guest or to cold outside, the hot tub is amazing as well. Also not far to work to some of the attractions in town! Perfect place and kinda feels magical!

Disappointed

Hot tub was busy with kids all three times we went down there. The jucuzzi tub in the room was not clean enough to use. We found the shower dirty on the base and the toilet was not clean. Air vent in bathroom needed cleaned. Room was good size. Furniture and carpet were dated and worn. I thought it was loud between noise outside and air condition unit cycling on and off loudly.
