Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a room with a river-facing balcony to enjoy a quieter stay and scenic views.

  • 02

    Request daily housekeeping at check-in if you need room servicing during your stay.

  • 03

    Bring extra pillows if you prefer firmer support, as the standard pillows are thin.

  • 04

    Use the free parking and walk to the Gatlinburg strip to avoid traffic and paid parking lots.
