7.8/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nice, clean, and spacious, but the noise from adjacent rooms was a bit disruptive. The service was mostly friendly and helpful, but there was one staff member who seemed more interested in their phone than assisting guests. The location was great for exploring various attractions in the area, although the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

8.0/10

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was clean and comfortable but not worth the price, as it was hot at night. The service was fantastic, with staff sharing Cherokee culture and being extremely friendly and helpful, although placing me near the breakfast room was not ideal. The location was convenient for accessing GSMNP, close to Harrah's, the casino, and shopping, but rather tiny. The dining options were good with a nice variety of items, although raw fish was a downside.
