Hidden Gem

This is one of those hidden gems in Gatlinburg. Along the river, but not right on the main road so it is much nicer. Rooms are older but still quite nice.

Definitely needs some paint and attention. Mold around baseboards and many baseboards missing. Shower faucet would not turn off and leaked (excessive) the entire time. Really musty smell—had to buy a candle. Get what you pay for as it’s a very cheap room for the location.

Cool room

We booked the 2 king room. It was a really cool room. I’ve never stayed in a hotel room with an upstairs. One king bed and bathroom is to the right when you walk into the room and straight ahead upstairs is another king bed and full bathroom. Both upstairs and downstairs had a balcony that overlooked the parking lot and you could see the lights of downtown. It’s a great room for sharing with your kids or other adults since the space is so divided. It was clean and the beds were comfortable but it definitely needs some updates. But for the price who could complain? The continental breakfast was convenient and had plenty to choose from. I like that there aren’t any stairs up to the second floor but ramps instead. Makes bringing your luggage up very easy. Overall it’s a great place to stay with a good price and walking distance to downtown.
