The room was not welcoming at all. There was a hole in the sheet rock in the bathroom. The shower was a hole cut in the tile of the shower leaving a gapping hole. The shower had a shower pan and the shower curtain didn't go down far enough so was pooled outside the shower when using it. Entire bathroom was in loor condition. Vanity looked terrible and was starting to come apart form the wall. The night stand was missing the side trim, top was terribly scratched, and frint was delaminating. Terrbile lighting in the room and the refrigerator smelled terrible.
The AC/Heater didn’t work the first night. The plug ports in the room didn’t work. The “Breakfast” they offered in the morning was leftovers from the last morning. The frozen sandwiches were left out for days which I’m pretty sure is a health code violation of some sort. The milk was spoiled and left un-refrigerated. The shower curtain wasn’t keeping water from flooding the bathroom.
The only saving grace was being on the strip at gatlinburg so we didn’t have to stay at the hotel. 0/10. Would not recommend.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property is in a state of renovation. Debris around stairs and parking lot. Was advised to let hot water run for 30 minutes to reach desired temperature. Wait till construction is complete before staying.
Staff wasnt very welcoming and didnt go out of their way to provide ANY service. No maid service or fresh towels unless requested before 10 a.m. Rooms appeared clean, but, havent been really cleaned in a while. Continental breakfast food was cold and not a large variety of anything. (We opted to eat out for breakfast instead.) The heat/ac unit in one of our rooms didnt work properly (it was 30 degrees during our visit, so heat was important)its kinda far from the majority of things on the strip. The best part of the hotel was the view from our rooms. We were in the 2nd building on the top floor, facing the strip and national park. Id stay again for a cheaper rate. I figured it'd be a little nicer for the price we paid. And for it to be a brand name hotel, lackluster is the best way to describe it.
