"This hotel is old and it still has the old vibes that go along with it. Me and my husband loved our stay here. The people at the front desk were so kind and helpful. The only thing I will mention, not a complaint, is the room we were in needs to be deep cleaned. The windows and all the doors were very dirty as well as the corners of the floors. We will stay here again hopefully."

Westgate Smoky Mountain Resort & Water Park

8/10 Good
"The Westgate Resort property is very beautiful and well maintained. There is no charge for parking but there is a daily resort fee, which we knew prior to booking. There is a pool, fitness center and spa on the property which we did not use but they looked very nice. We ate at the onsite restaurant called Southern Comfort. The breakfast menu was limited and the food was underwhelming, especially compared to the various breakfasts we enjoyed in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge. All the staff at the resort were friendly & helpful. The shuttle around the property and to the trolley stop was nice since walking the hilly property can be a challenge. Overall we enjoyed our stay!!"
