Rosa, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay. Friendly staff and convenient location. In quieter part of Gatlinburg away from noise of Parkway, yet on trolley route. It is near city park and river for quiet walks. Great indoor pool. Only downside is lack of daily housekeeping to empty trash and replenish towels. Had to fetch own fresh towels from office.

Ask for room 510

If you want to feel 70'/80's nostalgia stay here in one of the King deluxe suites. Room 510 has two doors to the room. Separate living room from bathroom and bedroom. Jacuzzi tub. Another door opens right to the indoor pool. It was a nice surprise. My husband loved it.
