“Friendly staff and convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 20, 2012

Great housekkeping and friendly desk clerks. We stayed 3 nights in double queen room with 3 children all under 6. Right next door to cracker barrel which we walked to for breakfast. We also walked to the wax museum from here. Wood grill buffet also right in front. 16 maybe 17 channels on the TV. Family channel, USA, CBS, ABC, fox 43, ESPN, NBC, tbs, CNN, weather, discovery, tnt, learning channel, cmt, tcm, cartoon network. Almost gave 3 stars for the very very firm mattresses and hard hard hard pillows, very under managed indoor pool area. Indoor pool area has hottub which was nice but tiles missing and black concrete floors, nasty looking windows, corroded handrails and some weird pipe trickling water into the pool was just to hard to overlook. Also, the outdoor pool was closed for the season but the door to it was open and no cover on the outdoor pool was a concern for someone who couldn't swim falling in. Water was murky in outside pool and just was scary that it was not secured.
Shower water pressure was weak. No table in our room for eating or whatever.
Flip side the room was clean. Had a great view of the wax museum and king kong. Wifi was very good in our room. Small arcade was nice for the kids for those few minutes we were in there.

Would return if pool area was remodeled and definitely would bring our own pillows.

Thank you so much for your detailed comments. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, but are sorry you were not pleased with the quality of your sleep. As I have said before, I have the same firm, pillow top mattress and LOVE it! We have also had guests offer to buy our pillows. We state this not to undermine your comments, but to point out the subjectivity of the topic. We look forward to our pool remodeling as well, and we hope to have your business in the future.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

It appears that the hotel has recently had some upgrades; however, they forgot several important details which make guests happy. First, the pillows and bed are like sleeping on a rock. Second, you can hear every detail from other rooms and the hall. Third, the indoor pool area needs major work, including the jucuzzi. Plus, bring your own towels; the towels in the room are small and thin. I think there is a total of 16 tv channels they dont even have NBC,so not much to watch in the evenings. Overall, for the money not a great place to stay.

Thank you for your comments. As I noted before, these mattresses are VERY nice. I have one at my house as well, and they are pillow-top mattresses. I can definitely verify that not only do we have compliments on the mattresses and pillows, but we have had inquiries into where we bought them, so the guests could do the same, as I did with my mattress. However, as I have also said before, everyone's taste on mattresses vary widely, and we understand there may be a small percentage that do not prefer these.
We are looking forward to a renovation on the pool area very soon! Lastly, we do have NBC. We are sorry if you were unable to find it on Channel 10.
We are very sorry you were not satisfied with your stay. We want to encourage readers of this review, however, to view the many other reviews that said the exact opposite, that this was a place that exceeded the money they paid.

Thank you for your comments. The Jacuzzis in the king bed units should fit two people, but we understand that can sometimes be subjective, just like the firmness of the mattresses. The mattresses are brand-new, pillow top mattresses. As I have said before, I personally have the same bed at my home. I have LOVED it, and it's the only help for the back pain I get when sleeping. However, I understand everyone has a different preference, and we know that it is, then, impossible to please everyone. We are sorry that you were less than satisfied with your stay.

“Nice and Peaceful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

We stayed here after plans of staying in a cabin fell through. We really were only in the hotel for 2 nights and only to sleep and get ready for the day. Everything was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly. Our WiFi worked just fine. Great location! I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to family and friends!

“Peaceful, restful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

This is our second time staying at the Spirit of the Smokies. We just LOVE it. Not only do we have a wonderful condo but the location is ideal. The units are always very clean and updated, staff very helpful and friendly, elevators always there when you need one. We would definitely recommend these condos for anyone traveling. Although we could have prepared our own meals as everything was provided we choose to eat out but the choice is yours to make. We will be staying there time after time on our visits south.

Room Tip: Condo rooms with kitchenettes are wonderful also have a gas fireplace in them for ambiance
