“While some past visitors have noted issues with room upkeep and pricing discrepancies, I see definite advantages to this family-oriented hotel. Its location near the national park entrance and proximity to Gatlinburg's attractions are strong assets. I particularly like the idea of gathering around the outdoor fire pits after a day of exploring.”
