NEVER STAY AT THIS HOTEL
Recently we stayed at this hotel during a cheerleading competition for my daughter. There were many, many, hotels in the area however none had a room during the time we needed.
So blindly we were forced to find whatever we could.
Whatever, would be the appropriate word. First of all this very over priced hotel is not conveniently located to downtown Gatlinburg as it states in ads. Try walking back and forth about two or three miles each way. Second, we booked a Suite, or so they called it. Which was supposed to have a seperate sleeping area, as in bedroom. We got there and paid the $180 a night then went to our room. The room was large, with a fireplace a sleeper sofa and jacuzzi tub in the center of the room. One queen size bed behind the sofa. The had a fridge and a two cup coffemaker, with no coffee, the table with three chairs.
The private balcony was very large considering it was shared with the next three or four rooms.
The room itself had not been cleaned. Coffee stains on the counter, table crumbs and sticky spills on the table, the bathrooms, well some things are best unsaid. The sofa was complete with a sweaty knee brace. The carpets, not vacumed.
We did mention it to the front, however, they did not respond, and did tell us they did not have a room like we described.
We let it go considering we couldn't get a room anywhere else at the time. Bedtime came the girls had no sheets, I had just gone down to get our rationed two towells, no washcloths, none in the room. So it was my husband's turn. He went down and got sheets and pillows for the girls. This time it only took the girl about thirty minutes to find anything, of course after her personal call was finished. We can't possibly interrupt that now can we.
If it had not been for her competition, we would have left. Even the next town of Pigeon Forge didn't have a room.
We finally escaped and got home to find the hotel had charged us twice. I contacted my bank and about two weeks later got a credit. Family Inns has yet to respond. I emailed a complaint, and they haven't responded to date. This is January 4, 2007. We stayed there December 6, 2006
All I can say is, NEVER EVER STAY AT THIS HOTEL.
