Great hotel option right in the heart of the attractions. Clean, safe hotel. Breakfast was good. The splash hallow was great for entertaining our toddler and baby. Would pay to stay here again.

We were charged an additional destination fee that was not listed when we booked. They decided not to refund this fee so I felt they were dishonest about additional charges.

Overall, our stay was fine. Room had the smallest tv I’ve seen in a modern hotel. Tv signals were weak. Not good for college football weekends.

I enjoyed that it was a short walk from the parkway and the trolley stops at the top entrance of the hotel parking lot. But, this hotel shares parking a parking lot with the hotel beside it, so it’s generally full. But there is also a smaller parking lot in the back.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn Express. Our kids loved the pool and water slides. The slides were down for a few hours one day, but the front desk let us know as soon as they were ready. Convenient walk to parkway. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Arrived before check in but Carol at the Front Desk provided our Parking Pass so we could walk on to meet Friends. Needed a Bathroom Break before heading out. The ones close were closed for cleaning. The young man came out and walked us to the Indoor Pools bathroom for use. The Indoor Pool looked great!! Lots of water activities. Love the location!! Will definitely be back!

Not worth the Money. Rude front desk!
Horrible check in!! The lady, Carol at the desk was rude. Yelled to us when we were coming in, can't check in till 4pm! Ok, we thought it was 3pm like most Hotels. We arrived at 315. She then tells me, our room will be ready at 330? Family had already uploaded our car. Had our stuff on a cart. We waited in the lobby, in full view of this woman. Other guests started coming in to check in, as it was now 345. She never once said, come on up! I then got in line behind 6 other guests checking in. Ridiculous. Room was just ok, certainly not worth $300 a night during the week for a family of 4!! We had stayed at Gatlinburg Margaritaville 3 weeks prior for the same price. Much better Hotel for the same money! Also, the indoor pool was cold. Super thin small towels in our room. Beds were awful. Plastic silverware for breakfast was the cheapest made. Won't be staying here ever again!!

We stay here each time we visit Gatlinburg. We love the indoor waterpark for the kids and the ability to walk to the National Park or downtown, avoiding the parking disasters.

Family vacation
This was a great hotel and my family and I enjoyed our stay a lot. The staff was amazing and my kids loved the waterpark/pool feature. Our rooms were clean and the pool water temperature was nice and warm. Not to mention, the parking was free and the hotel is walking distance from the main downtown strip. If we ever come back to Gatlinburg, we would definitely stay here again.

Clean. Family friendly. Good breakfast. Awesome little water park. Pool kinda small but water park for kids makes up for that.
