Nothing Special.
Overall, the hotel is updated and clean. The rooms are pretty nice. The location is central and a 3-7 minute walk to the main street in Gatlinburg.
But there are issues.
Lobby and bistro furniture are worn down, like they've seen a lot of butts and not a lot of care. Staff seems uninterested in truly great service. More interested in making customer stop talking. Quickest path to that outcome was chosen. It results in average service and awkward moments where you have to ask people to do their jobs. That is a bad feeling on vacation.
Breakfast voucher is misleading at best; a scam at worst. $27 for breakfast for two via Expedia, but you only get to choose $20 worth of items from the bistro, then have to pay for the rest. Hotel says this is a problem with Expedia, but how does that help me, the customer who has already wasted their money? I've had better options at a free continental breakfast in a Bergen NJ Inn across from a junk yard.
I ordered beers at the bar. The same beer cost different amounts at different times of the day and there was no happy hour, so it was just whatever the bartender felt like charging.
The beds were very firm and uncomfortable. The pillows were the worst pillows I've slept on in maybe a decade of staying at hotels; & some of those hotels were much "worse" than Marriott, yet - somehow they had better pillows?
Summary? The amenities, quality, & service are substandard and the high cost is not justified. AVOID.
