The Resort at Governor's Crossing

It was nice to have my whole family in one room with plenty of space but we had a stink bug infestation. We had to go buggy bug spray to kill most and maintenance had to come multiple times to vacuum them up. Right upon the moment we stepped foot in the room, they were everywhere. If other hotels would’ve been available (nice safe hotels for my family that is) i would’ve booked somewhere else right away but nothing available. They would just tell me “it’s stink bug season and it’s really bad” but every one we met and other hotels we called to verify this information all don’t know what season they were talking about. Seems to be local to this hotel. Odd part was we went to multiple floors and other parts of hotel with no stink bugs present, except on the 4th floor, building 3000. Definitely will choose a different hotel next visit. Staff was nice, just not helpful, citing other issues for their hotels pest control issues.

The hotel has it all. Indoor and outdoor waterparks. A mini arcade. 3 huge firepits in their beautifully landscaped yard. We visited at fall time and walked through a lit up pumpkin patch. They offer so many activities for kids. This is our 2nd stay and we love this place!

I booked a king size bed, non-smoking, balcony room. I received a king size bed in a non-balcony room that smelled like smoke. Since my flight was several hours late, I got to check in at about 1 am; so I was too tired to query the front desk about the accommodations. However, I did address it the next day and was relocated to a room next door. Both rooms had a full size kitchen with standard appliances and stone countertops. There was also a stacked washer and dryer in each room. However, the color scheme chosen was right out of the 1970’s. The beds are quite firm, so I was a bit uncomfortable. The property is in close proximity to Dollywood. There are restaurants and shopping within 2 blocks. Even though it is a resort for children who appreciate the things like the water amenities, I did not have any issues with unruly or unsupervised kids. The hallway to my room was very quiet. Mac, from Monroe, is their new night auditor. He’s an absolute gem!

We took a family trip and this resort did not disappoint, perfect location to visit SMNP. WM,McD’s close As beautiful as the photos, in my opinion with SO MANY amenities right on property to keep your family entertained. We had the deluxe suite with 2 queens and a balcony, the suite was beautiful clean and spacious. Loved that it had a washer/dryer! Upon arrival, we were greeted by Hailey, she was welcoming, friendly and informative. We have a special needs child so we requested a 1st floor suite and this request was filled. We always make a point to introduce our son (He’s 12yo non verbal and has Autism) to the front desk staff for emergency purposes and Hailey informed us that she would let management and other staff members know. Hailey and all the staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and we appreciated that. Outdoor Waterpark area had water slides, splash pad, lazy River and more! Loved that both indoor and outdoor pools were open until 11pm every night. Loved night swims with my son!! We went to indoor pool once but it was not as impressive as the outdoor. Indoor water slide would definitely scrape you up a little and it’s very dark in there! We took a walk outside in the fire pit/playground area, it was also nice so many lights and beautiful landscaping, in fact the entire property was beautiful! I highly recommend this resort to all families especially those with special needs children. Thanks Hailey!! Also, go to Cades Cove and see some bears!!

A great place to take your kids and just relax and have fun! There are plenty of dining options around and the kids never get bored. They have a schedule of events including stuffing your own animal, putt putt, movies on the lawn, playgrounds, indoor and outdoor pools and splash pads, grills, fire pits, and more!

As soon as we get there the ladies at the desk were so nice and friendly. We went to the room unpacked and went to the pool, out for dinner and back. While getting ready for bed. I pulled bedspread down to reveal some questionable spots on the bed.... called and asked for a new blanket. Its 8:30, with 2 small children. It was after 10 before we got a blanket and were able to get in the bed. But besides that everything else and everyone working there was amazing!

Nice rooms and the property has many activities for children and families with children such as a water park with indoor and outdoor pools, outdoor movie theater and more. They do not a bar or restaurants as families with kids are their target market. I found the bed very firm and and for a bed topper and it was brought to me in 5 minutes through a text message they immediately sent me upon arrival to use to contact guest services my entire stay. The room was clean and had all I would need to cook and the AC got very cold. Warning that the hot water for a shower is insanely hot to the point it would cause scalding if not checked.

The people were very friendly and accommodating. Condition was average. In a scale of 1-10, 1 being the worst, I’d say a 6. They advertise multiple amenities that aren’t the best of quality. The putt putt course is unplayable. The movie in the lawn stopped a lot and the mequitos were horrible. Not all arcade games or soda machines were operable. I’d suggest stocking up on snacks and drinks across the street at WalMart. The build a buddy and pillow making wasn’t really worth the money it cost, but it made the kids happy. Very low budget version of build a bear and a pillow. More of an arts and crafts project. But the pool and playground was clean and in great shape. Very shape and always had a well trained lifegaurd on staff that was very attention oriented. I’d for sure go back with our family, but I’d plan to do more off of the resort than on the resort.

It was a nice stay with our family. Enjoyed the pool

Clean 2 bedroom 2 bath “room” with a full kitchen, fresh towels brought daily, bracelet room keys, tons of activities for the little ones, excellent outdoor pool area and playground. We loved our stay!
