I loved the pool, spa, and sauna. This place is in a great location, and the ferry stops right out front. The only downside is the pet-friendly rooms are a bit older, so the walls are thin, but this was no fault of the hotel's. We will definitely be staying here whenever we visit Gatlinburg.

The location was perfect. The cost for the hotel room I found to be overpriced. The rooms are dated, musty, the carpet was dirty, curtains were dirty. Bathroom was clean, but it just wasn’t worth what I paid for the room.
