Ok
We booked with Sidney because of photos shown in the booking app. When we arrived to premises we discovered it wasn’t everything it appeared to be.. parking lot crammed. Room tiny. “Creekside view” was ridiculous there is a creek that’s pretty but there’s a motel parking lot immediately after the creek. We ordered from the diner on premise & the lady barely could keep her eyes open not sure if she was high or tired (appeared high) The beds were so uncomfortable killed my back my husband & daughters. It is convenient to downtown Gatlinburg. The price was great rate. Also the pool looked trashed not as flourishing as shown. The maintenance guy was great! Our tv didn’t work for our entire first day there we called front office and they sent him right away. He replaced the entire tv an that was that.
