Holiday Inn Club Vacations Smoky Mountain Resort, an IHG Hotel

This property is in an excellent location, the strip is just a short walk away. Multiple restaurants, arcades, and shopping in walking distance. I loved the private balcony, it had a nice view of the mountain and the Space needle. There is a pretty big arcade at the space needle, lots of game options, and prize options, small cafe serving hand tossed pizza. The pizza was yummy! Great for kids and adults. The villa was awesome, we were in the one bedroom, 2 adults, 2 teenagers. Plenty of activities onsite, small arcade, Splash Hollow, outdoor pool, outdoor hot tub, indoor hot tub, and indoor pool. The villas have full functioning kitchen with dinnerware for 4, dishwasher, toaster, full size fridge, pots, and pans. The only thing they didn't have that we needed was a pizza cutter, but we just used a knife. Every single person that we came in contact with was super friendly, and helpful. We actually ended up extending one more night because we were having so much fun, and Silver made the process smooth. All facilities were clean, and well maintained. They supplied coffee in the morning, and they had a hot chocolate bar set up one day. I read the reviews before booking and they mentioned pushy timeshare agents trying to sell timeshares. We did not encounter this. When we checked in a very pleasant lady offered us an opportunity to watch a presentation about a time share, which we declined. She was not pushy at all and wished us a wonderful vacation. Will stay again! (:

From the moment we walked in we were treated like family! The front counter as well as all the staff on property. If you want amazing views as well as 5 star service then look no further, all activities are within walking distance.

Front desk staff great. Grandkids loved pool. We couldn't see recycle availability but may have missed it. We'll be back

For the most part we loved the resort! There were a few things that could have been better. When we first got there at check in they sent me right over to someone to push a timeshare presentation on me. That is the last thing you want to deal with after traveling all day with kids! Then, there was no way to get to our room, or even the corridor to our room indoors, and it was snowing while we were there. The splash pad was very difficult to find and is a pretty good walk when it’s freezing outside. I actually had to get directions to it from the front desk because the signs didn’t help at all! The water in the splash pad is cold and there is no hot tub in that area. The hot water in the room also ran out extremely quickly! The bedroom in the condo would NOT heat up. I had to bundle up to sleep in there! Pros: Other than the bedroom not getting warm, the condo was very comfortable and spacious. Loved the jetted tub! The staff were all very friendly and helpful! The location is perfect! You can walk everywhere!

This is a great family hotel close to everything. The only down side is the pool in with the waterslide was really cold. My kids were asking when we will come back before we even left! We were in a villa and had a nice view of the creek behind it.
