Alex

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pool was in poor condition to the point that I reached out to the front desk 3 times to get an answer why the water was cloudy and if it was safe to use, never got an answer, the common areas had cigarettes butts for days that never got cleaned, we stayed 4 days but the dirty areas remained the same, my final complaint is that the bathroom door could not be closed, this unreported and nothing was done. One positive thing is, the location of the place is convenient to get to many attractions since it is located walking distance to most attraction in the heart of Gatlinburg.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was filthy! Hair all in the floor. Mold growing on most surfaces. Couldn’t even see out the window and the smell was damp and horrible. The breaker box was only covered with a piece of vinyl flooring stapled to the wall with breakers exposed. When we went to the front desk immediately after checking in we were told we would be given a full refund. Now they won’t answer any calls from myself or Expedia. We have tried numerous times and I am far beyond dissatisfied!

Anthony

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First room was dirty and had a used rag and used bars of soap in the tub along with hair and crumbs on and around the bed, and unit smelled of urine. The second room ( which we took because we were tired after driving 8 and a half hours) had no soap, conditioner, or body gel, and very little shampoo. Asked the front desk for some, she said that house keeping would be up the next morning to refill the containers.... That never happened..... Drywall mud covering a water damaged wall (seemed to be covering mold or mildew) water damaged ceiling tiles, warped ceiling tiles which opened up to the open area between floors, crumbs around the bed, door chain broken off and missing, water leaking outside the door from above unit. And the pool was green and full of algae. Room 129 was the second room can't remember the number of the first room
