Loved our stay.
Pros:

The room was clean and modern. Location was great. Restaurants a short walk like less than 5 minutes. The main street through Gatlinburg was only a couple of blocks away.

The staff was friendly, our room had fresh towels every day, and the location was very centrally located within walking
Pros:

The property was very centrally located and very close to all of the shopping and restaurants. It was so nice to be able to walk out out of our balcony room and listen to the water from the river.

Cons:

There was nothing that I didn’t like. It was all good. A small and friendly hotel with a good and decent breakfast every morning.
