"Fine"
Overall Score4.0/5
The hotel itself was fine. It was clean and the staff was very courteous. My only complaint is that I was trying to find a location close to the center of the Gatlinburg strip to be within walking distance of everything. I ask the clerk for the location of this hotel and all she could tell me was that is was close to the Aquarium. I thought that would be fine.That would put us on the edge of the strip. However, I did not think this hotel was close to the aquarium. That was a bad comparison. Red light one would have been a better choice. It was not within walking distance for me with my mother. We had to drive and find parking and that was not my intention. The clerks need to have a better knowledge of the location of the hotels when asked.

To encourage customers to submit their reviews, we send an email containing a link to evaluate the hotel to which we sometimes attach a reduction or Expedia Rewards voucher to use on a future trip. We post all reviews whether they are positive or negative, to the extent that they respect our content directives. This monitoring is automated. Any rejection is manually checked and, if maintained, notified to the reviewer by email with reasons. We do not otherwise process changes, nor reviewer contact. We de-list reviews after 4 years, other than for properties having a non-significant number of reviews.
