Cons
Pool operates seasonally only
80-kilometer distance from nearest airport
“This hotel's riverside location proves to be a genuine asset, especially with balconies oriented to capture that view. The combination of included breakfast, a pool, and under-building parking adds practical value. While some aspects show their age, the overall impression is one of solid convenience in a prime spot for exploring Gatlinburg.”
