    Hey Bob, I love this hotel. The size is right and the sky deck is really nice and, I can't forget the breakfast. Maybe it's because I eat out all the time but I love breakfast in a hotel. Have a great week, may the Lord bless you and your family.

    Love the color in the room. This hotel looks very funky/hip. Love the walk in shower. I think the long narrow table may be just for your computer/ipad, just trying to stay in the modern style. The pull out table could be used for several things, work table, make up table. or computer desk ,pretty cool. The roof top is very nice. The covered part would be nice to keep the sun off of you during the day and out in the wide open at night. Beautiful view from there .I would like the beds because I love a firm bed. Full breakfast is nice. Looks like a pretty nice place .Very nice review.

    I love the bunk beds, the sky deck and it had some of the best hotel breakfast in my opinion! I loved the bright colors. We were in room 522 which had a great view of the mountains and the island. When we stayed on the other side the view wasn’t as good but I still loved the room. I always leave wanting to stay here longer. We normally only stay here for a day or so because we live about an hour and a half away or go for a basketball tournament. There was a game room on the first floor but they took it down due to COVID-19. It’s in a good location too, right across from the island and around the corner from Dollywood. That pool is freezing though. They’re also very pet friendly which can be a good thing or a bad thing. The lobby is comfortable and my sister and I love the checking out all the cool chairs. The rooms have a good size and are very comfortable. I love this hotel!

    I can definitely understand the frustration of arriving at a hotel (even one we had been to before) to find they’ve replaced the beds with new, rock hard mattresses. I don’t understand why hotels think people want to sleep on stone. Putting a sheet over plywood does not make it a mattress! When you are the stroller pusher and vacation driver the last thing you want to do is have to pay for and sleep on a hard mattress.

    Bob, thanks for another great review and your honesty. I know you love the Home2. Will the new hotel going in there have much impact on the Home2 as far as views/noise?

  • @SmokiesPlus

    @SmokiesPlus

    3 жыл бұрын

    Not sure yet. Will have to see how much it effects the skyline. Noise would only potentially be bad during construction... Once it's up it should be fine.
