My Navy Fighter Squadron just completed it's 5 day reunion at the Garden Plaza. I would recommend the hotel to anyone. It is a older hotel, but the rooms were large and well maintained. We had wives, children and friends in attendance and all were very happy with the hotel. The breakfast was very good also. I read some of... more

I was plesantly suprised. I had read many reviews...most were bad. I have to say that for our stay it was wonderful. We stayed in the main building right by the game room and indoor pool. The game room and pool closed at 11:00P every night and even that late at night with all the kids playing the games it... more

When we first drove up, we looked at each other and said this is NOT what the pictures looked liked. The hotel looked very old on the outside. However, we decided to make the best of it and go ahead and go inside. Needless to say, we were pleasantly surprised! Now, by reading the reviews before going, i was prepared... more

The room has a smell that is not one you can put your finger on but it is gross. We complained and it took about 1/2 an hour for someone to come with spray. We went out for 3 hours and when we came back it still stunk. When we entered the room upon arrival we called the front desk... more

Although the pools were nice and the breakfast bar was nice that's about it. The Floors were absolutely FILTHY!!! After crawling around our room for 10 min. our baby's knees and feet were literally black. And when you walked on the floor with wet feet in the bathroom it left black marks. This is not only disgusting it's absolutely insanitary!!!... more

On the whole, this was a nice hotel. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. It's an older hotel and it looks it in some spots, but the room was clean. The only complaint about the room was that it was warmer than we prefered. We had it set on 60, but it never got below 73 (I... more

After reading the bad reviews, I was very uneasy about staying at this hotel. I brought the Lysol just in case! However, I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The room was not smelly and for the most part clean. There was dust and the carpet was stained some, but no big deal. I knew I wasn't staying at the Ritz..... more

Wow...after reading some of the reviews here I must say that I was angry that I had booked this hotel and dreaded my stay. I went prepared to be a jerk if the place was as horrible as presumed. Quite the contrary...the hotel staff were above average on being friendly, the room was nicely decorated and what I expected for... more

Nice updated place to stay; we stayed in the tower sixth floor rooms were clean and well supplied. No problems at all would recommend and would stay there again. So much of Gatlinburg is old but this place had nice rooms. Breakfast was wonderful (included) more

First let me say that the staff at this hotel were so nice,not just at check in, but the entire stay. Ok,now the bad part. This hotel is FILTHY! We took our two girls for three days on a little vacation. We got there later in the evening and had reservations, otherwise they were full. Our room was dirty, smelled... more
