I love staying here every year when we come to Gatlinburg because it is walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. My kids love staying here because of the indoor water park. The breakfast staff is very friendly. The rooms have been well kept. There were a couple of issues. The indoor waterpark is supposed to be heated but the last three years that we have come here it is ice cold. They claimed they fixed the heater but it did not feel like it. It did seem like the water was a little bit warmer this last time but still cold. We booked through Expedia and were charged an additional fee per day by the hotel because it was not factored into the price on Expedia. The hotel assured me they got with Expedia so it should be included now when booking this hotel. They said the hotel went into new ownership and they forgot to make the fee included. All and all we love staying here.

I liked the property and the stay as a whole. However, I paid in full for the stay ahead of time via Expedia. I stayed 6 nights. I thought everything was clear and paid for until on the last day a few hours prior to checkout, I got charged a hefty amount on my card from the property. When I asked them, they said this is “destination fee” which Expedia is not charging the customers so the balance ends up being charged at the end of the stay which is unexpected. No where on Expedia does it mention anything at all about destination fee. They are working to try to incorporate this fee in the price that Expedia quotes and charges, but it’s not yet done. So that’s why we get the surprise. I don’t like surprises, so this wasn’t good for me.
