I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The location was perfect, right on the river in Gatlinburg and within walking distance to the main downtown area. The rooms were updated, clean, and had a fantastic view. The service was top-notch, and I didn't have to drive anywhere because everything was so close. The dining experience was delightful with a lovely fruit buffet. However, there were some minor issues with the facilities and price.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were updated and clean, offering a nice view that added to the cozy ambiance, especially with the fireplace. The location was perfect, very close to many hiking trails and everything in Gatlinburg, yet still peaceful away from the main street buzz. The dining experience was excellent, with the best pizza in town. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The only downside was the price being a bit high, but it was definitely worth it for the value received.

This hotel is a real gem for a Gatlinburg getaway. The rooms offer great views and are kept impeccably clean, complete with a cozy fireplace and a balcony. The service is top-notch - I felt really well taken care of during my stay. The location is superb, right on the river and within close walking distance to downtown Gatlinburg. Though the dining experience left a bit to be desired with just croissants available, the overall value for money is excellent here.
