The hotel is in a prime location right downtown across from the convention center, making it convenient for exploring the town. The rooms, although a little dated, were super clean. The service was very nice and accommodating, but the dining left much to be desired with limited offerings. The facilities, especially the indoor pool and hot tub, were a highlight of the stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were clean, spacious, and lacked any chemical smells, offering a comfortable stay. Building C was where I stayed, and it was spotless from the moment I walked in. The indoor pool and hot tub in the same building were a nice touch. However, the lack of a hair dryer was a downside to an otherwise pleasant room experience.

Location
9.0
The location was outstanding, right across from the convention center on the main strip of Gatlinburg. It was fantastic, especially for those who enjoy the large room and multiple pools. However, the dining area's limited seating was a bit of a downside as it consisted of only a few small tables.
Dining
6.0
The dining experience had its ups and downs. The toilet being extremely low was another negative aspect.
Facilities
7.0
The hotel facilities were great, especially with the iconic sandwiches available for guests. However, it could have been nicer if a wider variety of food options were provided, given the limited dining choices.
