The location was perfect! The area was quiet off the main road and felt safe. The unit was okay...size was adequate but the lock on the door felt flimsy and the sliding door to the patio didn't lock. We like the keyless entry. The furniture was old and stained. We liked the fridge size and provided dishes were mismatched but fine. Mattress was firm but comfortable. Overall it was adequate but needs deep clean with updated furniture. Parking onsite also nice and it is covered but be aware you are only guaranteed 1 spot. For the price and location alone, overall we would recommend.

We ended up moving to this location mid way through our trip, because our mountain top location was making people sick to drive up to! We wanted something spacious, and convenient to finish our trip, and this was perfect. Easy check in, very nice room, well organized, and nice information binder in the room to provide you with all key info. Staff let us park our car early on before checking in. The location is so perfect to downtown Gatlinburg, so we were able to walk to many different places. Many great food options nearby... and, wow Bennetts BBQ is AMAZING!

The room was run down. Needed upgrading. The hairdryer didn't work, the patio screen door was off the hinges, heater didn't warm the living room at all, just enjoy hot water for one person. We have always loved staying here but this room was really run down. The location of Oak Square is great you can walk to everything and it is a quiet place. We where not notified that the pool was being redone either thank goodness we had not planned on swimming this trip.

It was convenient to have a full kitchen, which is why we chose this property. However, it was very limited on cookware and silverware. Heat would not go above 68, it seemed, and floor was fairly cold and no extra blanket. If I stay again, will need to remember to bring extra supplies. The indoor pool area was under construction the whole stay and happen to be directly under our unit.

In the room we had, the jacuzzi part of the bathtub didn’t work and when I went to use the dishwasher it leaked. The worst part was the parking lot. It dropped off without warning and the front of my car went over and I had to call a tow truck to get it out. It cost me over $400 to get it pulled back up.

Great location and convenient to shops and parkway. The pools were clean also. As for the room..it was very outdated, floors were disgusting, bathroom floors were not clean either. The pull out bed in the couch was extremely uncomfortable. I purchased a mattress cover for it, which made it better. Left that for the next guest, so hope that works for them. I have a 2 year old that loves to play in the floor, his knees and feet were black after 15 minutes of playing. So I doubt the maid service used, wasn’t doing a proper job. There was even stains on walls from drinks and food in the kitchen. This condo served its purpose but I’ll probably never stay again. There are better places with the same price range.

Overall 5 stars.. Location was GREAT, walking distance to everything on the parkway. We stayed in room 109.. Other than the furniture being very out dated and visably worn, and the A/C a little on the warmer side during the day, THE ROOM WAS GREAT. There was plenty of towels. The kitchen came with enough dishes to accomidate. We arrived early and was able to check in b4 3pm with no issues.. The water in the indoor pool was cold, but the room itself was heated to 90 degrees.. Parking lot is a little of a tight squeeze, however we had NO issues finding parking within easy access to the stairs/elevator to our room..

While I don’t mind an older property, our unit was not very clean. The bathroom floor was dusty and dirty, the side tables were dusty, the pillow cases may have been cleaned but had stains. The vents were dusty and moldy looking. This unit needed a DEEP clean and some TLC, not just a basic cleaning turnover. There was also a very thick layer of ice that was on the back wall of the inside of the refrigerator. There was also hair on the shower wall. The positive was the location was ideal and you could just park your car and walk to everything.

The condo was not clean when we arrived. The bathtub was not clean, there was still hair all in the tub. I ended up having to go out and buy bleach and cleaning supplies to clean the tub and the floor in the kitchen and bathroom. Wallpaper is coming off walls in bedroom, hallway and living room. Couch is covered in stains and fireplace is broken. There was no broom, mop or vacuum cleaner. I ended up going out and purchasing an air mattress to sleep on while there. Walls had marks all over them. Door wouldn’t stay closed unless it was locked. I will not stay here again.

The check in was easy. The condition of the room was horrible. The tub faucet leaked continually, and the tub was dirty there was black mold around the registers, the refrigerator froze our food and leaked, the room smelled musty, and worse of all the room was infested with stink bugs. Someone needs to call the health dept on them.

Do yourself a favor and STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE! This is the nastiest place I’ve ever stayed in! The floors had obviously never been mopped, they were black! There were roaches crawling around over everything. This place could be nice if they would do some updating and a DEEP CLEAN! Hot water lasted for every bit of 10 minutes. The lady at the office was nice, that was the only pleasant experience I had here.

We stayed here in December 2022 and it was amazing. That was the reason we decided to go back this year. However I was very upset at the overall condition of this particular room. Microwave had a cracked door, kitchen and bathroom floors were dirty or stained, and there was hair in the bathroom. This entire room definitely could use a makeover and some major upgrades. Not sure f I would stay here again. The pictures online is not necessarily what you see when you open your door

Room was dusty. The mattress was old and sagged really bad: head was below feet when lying down. Room was too hot at night, thermostat didn’t go lower than 68. Vent in bedroom fell and hit my husband in the head! No possible interaction with staff does not create a welcoming environment. Ceiling tiles in bathroom have water stains and are sagging down. No hot water for showers. Drawers were dirty with bugs and dust.

Love the location of this property. Close to the main strip and plenty around to walk to and enjoy. Also off the beaten path just enough to be away from the crowds. We stayed in 205 and it’s in need of a MAJOR update. The sleeping arrangements were terrible. Old dirty furniture. Dated, dirty bathrooms with exposed plumbing and showers that don’t drain. This place has huge potential.
