Location
Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but some appliances need upgrading. The service was great, with efficient housekeeping. The location is very convenient, being close to the casino. The dining experience was satisfying, especially with the included breakfast. Overall, a good value for money option.
The hotel is conveniently located near the casino and Great Smoky Mountain, making it an ideal spot for those seeking entertainment and nature. The rooms could use upgrades, especially with better access to the outside and improved appliances, but the dresser and toilet areas were satisfactory. The service, particularly housekeeping, was excellent, ensuring a comfortable stay. The location is a definite highlight being right down the road from the casino and in a good proximity to attractions. Dining, with included local focaccia bread, was a pleasant experience. While the facilities were decent, it lacks some modern amenities. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
This hotel is a gem! It sits in a prime location, super close to the lively casino and the breathtaking Great Smoky Mountains. The rooms, though in need of some upgrades especially the appliances, offer easy access to outdoor spaces. The service, particularly housekeeping, was top-notch. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown, although the salads served were quite good.
