The room was dirty. The pictures of the property upon booking did not match the hotel at all. There were roaches at the buffet. The pool water was filthy. Water leaked in the hall ways. There were huge gaps under the doors and they slammed shut at all hours of the night. Staff looked annoyed whenever asked a question.

Our room was very outdated dirty carpet, bathroom was so small you could barely get ready, the furniture was all scratched up and super old, the front desk said they hadn’t remodeled some of the floors yet but they were still charging the same price as the remodeled! I paid almost $500 for 2 nights for hotel 6 look. Very disappointed. We had been wanting to stay there for a while but now ai wished we hadn’t.

We regret that you were unhappy with your room, Patty. Although they are not guaranteed, we would have been happy to assign you a room with updating flooring, if we had been aware of your preference. We checked our records and didn't see were you complained about your room - we would have loved to have resolved any concerns while you were still in-house.

In the middle of busy part of pigeon forge. They are making effort to upgrade this property. Pool was smaller than anticipated and way busier-it’s 24 hours. Staff was friendly and nice. Good for a quick stay but would not spend more time here for a longer vacation.

Phillip, thank you for your review. It seems that a deluxe king with sleeper sofa was reserved which is more ideally suited for 3 adults rather than 4. Did you check with the front desk to see if we had two queens available for you instead?

I loved the location. Near all activities and Gatlinburg. Good breakfast and popcorn and movie night. The pool was crowded and it was noisy in the early morning, not soundproof walls especially near the elevator. Staff was extremely kind especially the hostess at breakfast also from Ky. The gentleman cooking breakfast was very accommodating and did a great job preparing the food. He was kind when we told him that the waffle batter was empty from the guest in front of us, quickly brought more. All staff at front desk were especially kind. Beautiful outside with flowers and welcoming.

We are also delighted to hear that you experienced wonderful guest service by our front desk and breakfast staff.We were sold out over the Easter weekend so both our breakfast area would have been busy in the early morning, however, we regret if you were disturbed by the noise. The pool area is always popular and especially during sold-out weekends.

Pictures online of the property are extremely misleading. Toilet was not connected to the floor and constantly ran, leaks in ceiling, dog hair not cleaned up in room, desperately needs the renovation that they are advertising. Would not stay here again until all renovations have been finished.

Anthony, photos on expedia showcase our property as it appears at the time of the images being taken. We regret that you had maintenance and housekeeping concerns during your 3-night stay but we note that none of this was brought to the attention of our staff, including the front desk. Did you know we have maintenance and housekeeping staff on-property until 10.30-11pm nightly? Our ownership and management recognize that our property needs revitalization and they are implementing an upgrade program, currently. We look forward to your return stay when the upgrades are completed.

Normally I don't leave bad comments but this hotel needs a lot of improvements. Most hotels have a check in time at 3p, and often, when you get there at 2, the room is ready. This hotel, instead, was not even close to that standard. Tried to check in at 3, and was told room not ready; then tried again at 3:30, not ready and was told 15 more minutes; then 3:50, was told another 15 minutes. at 4:05pm, there was a line of at least 10 people trying to check in!!! Finally, they checked me in, and in the hallway to the room, trash was everywhere, and in the room was dirty too: trash was on the floor, and table was not clean, and chair was sticky and you could see juice was still on the armchair. I am sorry I can't give a positive one.

Xizhi, our expedia profile page states that our check-in time is 4pm. Guests may try to check in before 4pm but it is not guaranteed that the room will be ready prior. We checked our records and could not find any complaint made about your room. We would have been happy to assist you if we had been made aware.

The pool was small and over crowded. There was never any seating for breakfast. The movie nights had no seating and ran out of popcorn, and you can barely see the screen or hear the film because its in the loud pool area.

Response from John M., Revenue Manager on 29 Mar 2024
We regret that you didn't enjoy the pool area, Matthew. During busy periods like spring break, our seating in the breakfast and pool areas can become limited due to increased demand and the layout of these particular spaces.Due to the time change and it being lighter later in the evening, we have popcorn available until the second movie is over which is later than the usual 10pm finish time. Did you request front desk to make more popcorn for you? Our front desk agents are always happy to make popcorn for guests during movie nights.

Was disappointed as the accommodation looked promising. The pool area was littered with discarded popcorn and used swim towels. The carpets on 3rd floor were washed during our stay - putrid sour smell throughout the hallway! Loud music from entrance area played all night - could not sleep! I did thoroughly enjoy chatting with Judy the Hostess in the dining area - the breakfast was cold but Judy was just lovely and kind 😊

We regret that you did not seem to enjoy your experience overall at the Ramsey, Judy. It's the busy spring break period and the pool area is very popular, particularly if it's raining outside. However, we have a lobby attendant who cleans the area regularly during the day and evening. When the pool area is especially busy, the attendant will wait until the pool area empties before cleaning up popcorn and towels. Given that we are an extremely busy hotel and convention center, we wash our carpets often to keep them as clean as possible. We did receive a report that there was an unpleasant odor on the third floor at the time of your stay and housekeeping and maintenance worked to remove it. We have noted the lobby music and breakfast issue and will pass this feedback on to management. Thank you for mentioning, Judy. She is a star!

Staff was friendly and accommodating, hotel was in centralized location. The pictures on the website are misleading as we had mold in our ceiling in bathroom and stained curtains in first room. We were moved to another room which was better. Kids all hours of night running down halls, walls were paper thin, hotel overall was very dated. We would not recommend staying here.

Nick, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you noting our friendly and accommodating staff and convenient location. Please note that that the photos on the Expedia profile page are not misleading. The first room you were assigned to was not up to our usual high standard. We are also glad that you informed our front desk of the mold issue and they got you moved to a new room. We regret that you were also inconvenienced by other guests running on the halls although we did have security at night during your stay and we implement an 11pm noise curfew. We are disappointed that you have decided against recommending our property but you should know that we are undergoing upgrades currently which will enhance our accommodations in the future. Consider staying with us again then.
