Excellent stay. Staff so helpful. We stayed in the junior suite - the bed was so nice comfortable and clean. Near great places to eat. Didn’t eat at the hotel, next time definitely will. Pool looked lovely. The fridge actually worked, which I’ve not found in many hotels that would keep things cold. Oh the shower was huge both hand held and shower head- I cinder that a Blessing. It’s just somewhere ya really want to stay.

Great hotel, we stayed here last minute when there was an issue with the room that we booked at the Gatlinburg Town Square. Staff was extremely friendly, the hotel was beautiful. The only thing I could say (thats not even a complaint) about is that the parking lot in front of the hotel fills up pretty quickly in the evening but they had overflow parking behind the building. Would definitely stay here again!
