Got there early but couldnt get room early, which was okay. We walked the strip, ate and shopped. We went back to get the room, the key wouldnt work. We were given the next room over. Man running front desk was nice. The rooms are very out dated. Mirror and walls were dirty. Heat worked well as it was only in the high 20's the second day. You get what you pay for! If youre looking for a great location thats close to the strip, with no frills, this is your place.

I loved that it was downtown gatlinburg. Easy access to the strip for walking. But the hotel is out dated. The spray painted ceiling tiles to cover the water damage was definitely odd. The plumbing was a nightmare. The beds were comfy enough for a few days. Price was steep for what it was.

Just needs to be updated. I did not like the fact that you could see daylight under the door! Beds were SUPER comfortable though. Bathrooms shower needs updated. I personally think that it should be a law that all bathrooms should have shower wands! I would stay here again though.
