Check in is at 4. We got there mid-afternoon and the person on the desk was pretty blunt and said check in is at 4, you’ll have to come back. Most places will be a little more diplomatic. He did give us our parking pass early which was appreciated.

The pool was unexpectedly closed. Bathroom sink was slow to drain and the shower head was not the best. No pressure at all. Other than that it was great!! Breakfast was great also!!

Disappointed in the basic expectations & stay
It was really unfortunate we picked this hotel mainly for the indoor pool/waterpark and walking distance to most attractions. Come to find out it was out due to maintenance. I understand it was mid January and at some point it would need maintenance but we didn’t know until we checked in and saw the sign at the desk. We booked it strictly because we had a toddler and it was one of the few fun activities we could have done inside. Also one of the 3 days we stayed we didn’t have water. We went to brush our teeth and found this out the hard way. Which then obviously we weren’t able to shower either. We called to inquire and the response was we’re working on it. The shower when it was working was freezing the day before and the day after it was fixed. We’re pretty understanding and Thankfully our experiences in gatlinburg made up for the hotel experience; But we don’t plan on returning to this hotel.

We had a horrible experience. There was no hot water on our first day. We asked for maintenance to come look at it. They told us it was fixed when we came back to our room. The next day we went to shower and the water was turned off to the hotel. We called the front desk and they told us they had posted a sign. We found said sign laying down taped to the front desk. Then our third day we found out our water was still cold. We will not be back

Everything was wonderful, the water park kept the kids busy. Only downfall is there was no hot water in our room at night on the fourth floor or our families room in the third.

Great stay! Our kids loved the mini waterpark & pool. Room was very clean & every employee we saw from maintenance to front desk greeted us and wished us a Merry Christmas. Breakfast was a step above the “free breakfast” norm & there was an actual keurig in room as well. Will stay here again!

Location is the biggest perk.
The location of this hotel is great and it is less than a 5 minute walk to the strip. The downside to this property is the overpowering scent in the lobby, it is almost intolerable if you have allergies or are sensitive to fragrance. The beds are comfortable but there is a mountain of dust behind them that could desperately needs to be vacuumed. Also it is 2024 and why smart TV's are not standard in all hotels like this is something I will never understand.
