Central Hotel, Ascend Hotel Collection

If I booked with them again, I wouldn't book through Expedia. There was ANOTHER fee added on to each room that Expedia doesn't include in the pricing so make sure you add about another $203 to your booking. I was aware about the $30/day fee for using the parking lot, coffee pot, paper towels, etc. The staff was really nice. The hotel appeared really clean, but one of my friends found a wad of hair piled up in the sheets so you know the sheets weren't changed from the last guest. The hotel changed the sheets and compensated us the $30/night fee. I also didn't like how they want us to take the trash out at the end of our stay. The hotel is set up for a longer stay so I can understand that guest may leave a larger amount of trash than at short term stay hotels, but I feel like that's not being hospitable. They should change their policy to place all trash in the trash bags and leave them by the door, instead of having their guests take the trash out. They should mention that at check-in or at least tell us to read all instructions on the refrigerator. If I didn't see 3 families take out their trash, I probably would have been charge for not taking it out. The ice cream shop at the property was nice, so of us had mix feelings about the coffee shop, and there's a really good restaurant called the Appalachian that is walking distance from the hotel.

The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom was perfect for our family of six. 2 adults, 4 kids and we loved it. Clean, spacious and beautiful. We will definitely return.

This is an excellent choice for families. Our unit had three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a full size kitchen. It was well equipped and perfect for families looking to be close to Dollywood and the surrounding area.
