I didn't, I went somewhere else! Don't stay at the bishop inn
Pros:

I made it to the hotel and did not like it, half the rooms was even being used. Building was old and rooms had a smell to them. So I did not stay, I went somewhere else!!

Cons:

Everything, the only thing I did like was the lady at the office, I asked to see the room she was offering for me to stay in and it was extremely little and had a smell and the building was old. She showed me another room which it was bigger but still had a certain smell and I just really really didn't like the property! But the lady was really nice

Pros:

Location

Cons:

This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. We didnt even stay both nights. No curtains over bathroom window. Walls paper thin adjoining room people keep us up all night no phone to complain. ROACHES. No cups to brush teeth. The whole place was DISGUSTING. NEVER STAY AGAIN

Cons:

The window in the bathroom had no blinds nor curtain so it was difficult using the bathroom since someone could see you. Also water was barley coming out of the shower head in the tub.

The only good thing about this property is the proximity to downtown Gatlinburg.
Pros:

The proximity to downtown Gatlinburg

Cons:

Terrible condition overall. Water wouldn’t get warm, big gaps around the doors, the broken and loose tiles in the bathroom, the balcony railing was unsafe, having a patio chair as the room chair, the unsafe balcony chairs, not having the front office on the site (we found out it was down the hill at the Howard Johnson).
