The staff are all very nice and helpful. It is clear that they really care about this hotel. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The breakfast was really good and the breakfast area was clean and the attendant was very friendly and did a great job keeping the area clean and stocked. We even saw the manager cleaning the windows in the lobby. Also impressed that every staff member asked guests if everything was okay with their stay.

"You won't get what you thought you booked!"

We didn't even take all of our things to the room before we decided we weren't staying there! I booked a King room on the first floor and they tried to put us in a Double room on the second floor. No elevator, either. Apparently, the people in the room we were supposed to get didn't check out that morning, so the manager decided to move us instead. Of course, he wasn't there when we arrived, and the clerk said he called and left us a message about the situation. No, he did not. Since we were headed to Gatlinburg the next day, we went on and got a room there at a much better place!

"Clean, Quiet and comfortable!"

Amazing stay! We have stayed here four times, (7 nights each time). We keep coming back because it is extremely clean and quiet. I can’t say enough about the staff! Always smiling and willing to chat while doing everything they can to help you. Breakfast is always good and the area is kept spotless. We keep coming back because it feels like home. Very peaceful and quiet. Yes this is not a new property and the pool has been gone for years, if you see one it’s from old third party sites and not the hotels. The property is always clean, well kept and quiet! We love it!

"Ok hotel"

Ok hotel. There was a used bar of soap left in the shower when we arrived and the tub didn’t drain. We asked to have it fixed. Chemicals were put in the drain but it still wouldn’t drain. If the shower had been cleaned properly this would have been noticed at that time. The rest of the room was clean. The staff was very difficult to understand and some did not understand what I was asking for when I mentioned the tub would not drain. Communication was horrible at best.
