"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff was great, breakfast was good , commissary was stocked and reasonably priced. The hotel is a bit off the main drag and can be a little hard to see, I did miss it once. This is the only hotel I have ever been charged for parking than wasnt valet parking. Not sure if all the Hotels in Gatlinburg charge for parking but $45.00 to park for 3 days is a bit much for seniors like us. I will definitely look closer at that next time. That would be a deal breaker. Hotel is nice and quite, which is more than I can say for some of the others we stayed at this trip."

"Beautiful, quiet location in Gatlinburg. Friendly staff at check-in. Some wear and tear in the bathroom, but the patio chairs overlooking the stream running behind the hotel made more than up for that. Very memorable stay. Great Jamaican restaurant across the street with fresh bbq jerk chicken. Easy $5 parking right outside the front door. Parking at a hotel/motel in Gatlinburg is hard to come by. Local bus runs right outside the front door to the main strip downtown or you can take a short walk down."
