This hotel is in a very convenient location and is within short walking distance to numerous shops, restaurants, and attractions. I loved seeing the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel at the Island lit up so brightly at night right from my door. Pirate's Voyage Dinner Show is only a block or two from here as well. I did not like how the property required a $50 deposit upon check-in. I feel that it should only be assessed if any damage is found after checking out. Also, the lock on my door did not work after the first night. The door would close, but all I had to do was push it and it would open without a key card. It might be a good idea to hide your valuables when you go out so that no one steals anything. Lastly, the parking situation here is very tight and very limited. You may have to park across the street if there are no spaces available in front. There is a bank parking lot right next door, but you can't park there except on weekends. All in all, this place is below average. I probably won't consider staying here in the future. There are much better options along the Parkway. You might pay a little more, but you will get more bang for your buck, like a hot breakfast and better security!
