If you’re wanting to see bears, stay here. It’s also convenient and within walking distance to many restaurants, shops and things to do. The room (510), had been renovated and was very nice. Would definitely recommend. Breakfast had bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, cereal, pastries, coffee, juice, milk, and yogurt

This property was located on the end of the main Gatlinburg parkway, which made it very convenient to get in and out when going to the national park. We walked to anything in town that we wanted to do, as far as eating, Anakeesta and the Skylift Park. I would stay here again as it was reasonably priced and so convenient. The balcony had a ton of spiderwebs on the railing, but was still nice to sit out and listen to the river. Would be great if they gave you a small table for the balcony.

We stay here several times a year. The suites are HUGE. 1 block off the main drag so you don’t get the cruiser noise. 4 min walk to The Peddler Steakhouse. 45 second drive to the entrance of the SMNP. On Ski Rd.

Close to everything! 10min walk and you are smack in the middle of town and national park. Loved the location on the river too. So nice to see and watch from your balcony. Breakfast was awesome, wished they replenished the bacon though. Would highly recommend!
