Thanksgiving getaway
Lots of space in an excellent location close to the river. Comfortable beds and clean linens. We had a small dog and this was a good option for that situation. Somewhat dated fixtures. Fridge was a bonus but the Keurig did not work correctly. You have to order your replacement towels and other items for either delivery within a certain time or for pick up at the front desk. Not exactly convenient.

Thanksgiving in the heart of Gatlinburg
The room was great. Very Clean and comfortable. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The view of the skybridge and mountain side was perfect from our balcony. The location was perfect and with an entrance off River Road much easier to get in and out of Gatlinburg when traffic was heavy. We will certainly stay again. My only complaints are that the bed was very noisy anytime you moved and you couldnt shower without water getting everywhere, but those are minor and easily fixable, put a shower curtain in the shower and maybe a rug under the bed. Possibly set up the smart tvs with netflix and hulu or prime so guests can easily login. All in all it was a great trip and a wonderful stay.

It was rather expensive for the room. It had a squeaky bed and no bolt lock. It had a different picture on the hotels.com website. I would have never paid that much for that room other wise. The lady at the front desk was very nice.
