After reading the bad reviews, I was very uneasy about staying at this hotel. I brought the Lysol just in case! However, I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The room was not smelly and for the most part clean. There was dust and the carpet was stained some, but no big deal. I knew I wasn't staying at the Ritz..... more

Wow...after reading some of the reviews here I must say that I was angry that I had booked this hotel and dreaded my stay. I went prepared to be a jerk if the place was as horrible as presumed. Quite the contrary...the hotel staff were above average on being friendly, the room was nicely decorated and what I expected for... more

Nice updated place to stay; we stayed in the tower sixth floor rooms were clean and well supplied. No problems at all would recommend and would stay there again. So much of Gatlinburg is old but this place had nice rooms. Breakfast was wonderful (included) more

First let me say that the staff at this hotel were so nice,not just at check in, but the entire stay. Ok,now the bad part. This hotel is FILTHY! We took our two girls for three days on a little vacation. We got there later in the evening and had reservations, otherwise they were full. Our room was dirty, smelled... more

Their website advertises the following: -Louie’s Restaurant: Truth: This restaurant is only open for 3 hours a day, in the morning. Their website does not inform of this. -Sunny Bear’s General Store: Truth: This is not even open for business. -Pizza Station Express: Truth: Again, not open for business. -Room Service: Truth: Their website does specify it is available only... more

My family stayed here for two nights. I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel after reading all the negative reviews. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The heating system was out but maintenance took care of it immediately. My children loved the pool and the game arcade. I would stay here again. more

After reading some of the other reviews, I wanted to switch hotels. But we didn't want to board our dog for two nights, and the other dog-friendly hotels were booked. So we decided to take our chances and go. We were told check-in was at 4. This seemed rather late to me, and we called at 2:30 to find out... more

My family and I stayed there for a cheerleading competetion. When we got there, the place looked nice from outside. There was a bible verse on the sign outside. However, when we went inside there was a bar with drunk people singing karoke .There was a man dancing with a blow up doll! They sent us up to our room.... more

When I booked it was a Holiday Inn, when I got there it was sold to another company and it was now The Garden Plaza Hotel. I stayed in the towers building, which isn't really towers...it's about 5 floors. I stayed on the third floor, the room was ok on first inspection, but then when I was in there long... more

This is our favorite hotel! It is not the newest or fanciest, but we don't go to Gatlinburg to hang at a hotel. Staff are so friendly that after staying there for so many vacations they call us by first names. We stay at least three times a year and can't wait to go back. Our favorite room is over... more
