The room was clean and a great location- about a mile walk into all the shops and restaurants on the Gatlinburg strip. Thin walls between rooms, so we heard everything from the neighboring room. Our microwave flipped the breaker and we were out of power for a very short while, as it was fixed promptly. However, we were nervous to use the microwave again after that. The room was very worth the value.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for one night. Check-in was easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, there was no clear signage directing us to our room, which made it difficult to find—we ended up having to return to the front desk for assistance. The room was generally clean and orderly, but the bathroom needed more attention. There were long black hairs left behind from a previous guest, and the space showed signs of wear and tear, needing some basic maintenance. Overall, we would not choose to stay here again.

Last minute holiday getaway...

The two gentleman at check in were so sweet. One of them actually walked us to our room so we found it. The room was small but quaint. It was very clean. The only problem we had was our upstairs neighbors being extremely loud the first night. We liked it so much we extended our stay another night. We will definitely be back again in the future.
