"Stayed as a couple for one night in November of 2026. Mainly chose this hotel because of the location. Right on the strip in downtown Gatlinburg is pretty unbeatable. We checked in before sunset and the parking lot was pretty full. Our room was pretty nice. We stayed on the second floor in a room with a jacuzzi. We did use it and it was wonderful. Great stay and would do it again."
