I’ll admit I was a little wary with the low cost of the room, but I was pretty impressed. The room was relatively basic, but was nice and clean and had everything I needed. As a solo traveler the room was pretty perfect for me size wise, I feel like it might be a little tight for any more than 2 people. The pool area was nice and well maintained. I almost booked a cabana ahead of time and I’m glad I didn’t because the free seating was wide open every day. The pool side bar was cute and convenient, and the bartender was welcoming and friendly. The hotel was conveniently located about 15 minutes from everywhere I wanted to visit. I will mention - most of my stay was during the week, but come Friday evening the noise level went up exponentially, and the pool area was packed. The weekend experience may be very different. All in all it was a very pleasurable stay, would gladly recommend.

Excellent stay. Staff so helpful. We stayed in the junior suite - the bed was so nice comfortable and clean. Near great places to eat. Didn’t eat at the hotel, next time definitely will. Pool looked lovely. The fridge actually worked, which I’ve not found in many hotels that would keep things cold. Oh the shower was huge both hand held and shower head- I cinder that a Blessing. It’s just somewhere ya really want to stay.

Great hotel, we stayed here last minute when there was an issue with the room that we booked at the Gatlinburg Town Square. Staff was extremely friendly, the hotel was beautiful. The only thing I could say (thats not even a complaint) about is that the parking lot in front of the hotel fills up pretty quickly in the evening but they had overflow parking behind the building. Would definitely stay here again!
