Myself and my friend did not have breakfast during our stay. I did love this hotel though, the location was perfect, the free parking was welcome. All the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. What I enjoyed the most was the hotel felt quirky in a good way, the room was old fashioned but I loved that and we both enjoyed the rocking chairs on the balcony. I would have no problem recommending this hotel and if I’m lucky enough to come back to Gatlinburg I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Rooms were exceptional based on space and cleanliness on check-in. The hostess seemed annoyed upon check-in and it continued throughout our stay when we had to approach the front desk. The rest of the staff were beyond accommodating and friendly, so it was very strange and seemed out of place and off-putting the four times we went to the front desk, from check-in to check-out.

Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Step through the door of Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, and you’ll be instantly transported from a charming mountain town to an underwater haven. This aquarium is a maze of deep blue tanks, each one filled with weird and wonderful creatures from afar. Check out the Penguin Playhouse for fun times with cheeky birds!

While this is a great place to take your family (if you can afford it, the prices have gone up considerably), plan to spend a lot of time here! There is a lot to see, it is very large and the selection of creatures are awesome! A half a day is not unreasonable. They do have a small restaurant here also.

Great aquarium, it's what you expect in any aquarium except they didn't have a dolphin show or anything like that. It was quick but plenty to see, a lot of sharks and stingrays, well worth the $40 a person.

A bit pricy for a family, but depending how old your children are, one can take at least half a day to enjoy and learn from a beautiful wealth of nature experiences to see and even feel (like with the ray pond). It is a fun and memorable experience.

There are so many different variety of fish, sharks, and other creatures from the oceans. I especially enjoyed the penguins they were so adorable and there are lots for kids to do inside. They even have shows for them also. A must see.

Absolutely the best aquarium I have ever visited, and that's been several. The giant walled aquarium with the seating area is a place I could spend hours, watching the fish and listening to the soothing music. Well designed play areas the funnel the children to only one exit point. The color changing cuttle fish are unbelievable. And you don't want to miss the penguine parade. Ask about the times.
