Reviews for The Resort at Governor's Crossing
Review 1:The phone would ring once and stop and it did this the entire stay.
Review 2:My kids loved the indoor water slides and pool. I loved the staff they were very friendly.
Review 3:Check in was two hours late. I gave the kids a bath and turned on the jets and when they got out there was a film in the tub looked like dead skin.
Review 4:Fun water park. Location was great. Allowed for later check out. Friendly staff. Good overall value
Review 5:They told us check In time was 4:00 but we had to wait and room wasn't ready till 8:00. I pd $246 per night, so by the time we got in and settled in on first night it was time to go to sleep. They should set check out for a later time like 4:00 when the room isn't ready @ 4 like they say. Also front desk clerk wasn't friendly at all. She didn't say sorry bout the wait or anything. And dishes in cabinet were dirty.
Review 6:Indoor pool
Review 7:Elevators lacking finesse. Slow and a little noisy.
Review 8:A little high priced for everyday stay. But if planning a group event and want everyone together- well worth it.
Review 9:We had a man come into our room about 11 oclock at nite. My grandchildren were asleep on the sofa bed and my son in the king size bed. By the time my son heard what was going on, the man said i am sorry and turned around and left.
Review 10:The indoor pool during the winter time was very nice to have for the kids. The room was very clean.
Review 11:Can't think of anything bad about the visit.
Review 12:Excellent location also with a road to Veterans Blvd. Water park also looks interesting. Will probably bring more family next year.
Review 13:There was hair in the bathtub when we got there. The carpets were not very clean. Everytime we opened the oven to take something out the smoke alarm went off. Every time the toast came up in the toaster the smoke alarm went off. We were given a room right next to the elevator and it was noisy all night long.
Review 14:I liked the location and that it had an indoor pool area and water slide. I liked having a kitchen so we did not have to eat out all the time
Review 15:We were only at the room for a short time so only complaint was trying to find a luggage cart to check in or out of our room.
Review 16:Perfect location. Friendly staff !
Review 17:I stayed for 5 nights and I expect my sheets to be changed at least once in that time.
Review 18:The layout of the condo with the bedrooms on opposite sides of the living area.
Review 19:Sometimes people travel such as we did and don`t have groceries . We were at the gift shows on business. I would suggest a breakfast bar for the travelers.
Review 20:The heater did not work and since we are from Florida, below 40 degree temps made it uncomfortable for us.
Review 21:Staff were very attentive. My mother became ill and had to be taken to the nearby emergency room. The front desk staff called to check on her and to let us know to call if we needed anything!!!
Review 22:After booking our room months in advance my wife and I were given a handicap suite with no balcony. The room was not clean , carpet dirty , decor very dated and showing a lot of age don't be fooled by phony reviews and fixed up pictures. Room smelled bad and pets are allowed saw them going into building on 2 separate occasions. Very poor !!
Review 23:Location, pool
Review 24:Issues with customer service, room and facility cleanliness, and housekeeping -- all need serious improvement. We have gone to this resort for 8+ years and won't return. No reason roaches and other bugs should be in the bedroom and bathroom. Hallways and stairwells smell of urine. The front desk feels it is unacceptable to have to notify guests when a pizza is delivered and then hangs up on you when asking if it has arrived. Also, missing coffee pot and other basic toiletries is clearly a lack of quality of housekeeping staff. Was told the GM would call and never did after our checkout. No discounts or any other incentives to visit there another time. Clearly this facility feels they have enough business and don't need to treat guests with common courtesy. Offering to send up pest control after we leave should never be something offered as a service in a hotel.
Review 25:About 10 min from Dollywood.
Review 26:5 PM and room was not ready. They said they would call when room was ready but never called. Came back at 7pm it was ready. Very cheap thread bare towels, single flat pillow each and low grade see through toilet paper. Tiny insignificant bar of soap. Did not realize that this was more of a long term stay where you bring your own amenities.
Review 27:Convenient location.
Review 28:Not really a bad experience just thought the soap for dish washer would be replaced everyday. The coffee pot didn't work. Also left a pillow and was not contacted.
Review 29:The good location and the full kitchen.
Review 30:Nothing, we had nothing to complain about
Review 31:I liked the location, when something is going on you can get around fairly good. Nice place and if I had my grandkids they would have loved this hotel. It was clean and really nice .
Review 32:Room was very nice and very clean. The property was also kept very neat and clean. Both the indoor and outdoor pools were perfect for my 2 year old nephew. I will definitely stay here again.
Review 33:I would love to have the option of a continental breakfast.
Review 34:The convinience of home...we could sleep the children and grandkids. We all absolutely loved the jacuzzi. The indoor/ outdoor water parks were great for the older and young kids.
Review 35:No pizza cutter, or pizza pan in kitchen. No ice supplied by resort. Didn't think to flip lever down so had to wait for ice
Review 36:2 tv's, pool, comfort
Review 37:The room was dark and depressing. The whole place felt cramped. For the price I expected more. The staff all acted like they didn't want to be there.
Review 38:It was close to where we wanted to be.
Review 39:The air conditioning wasnt working properly when we got there we had to have someone from maintenance come up and fix it. The king size bed had like a deep trench in the middle of the bed so my brother and his wife said they had to either stay to one side or opposite sides very carefully or they would roll into the middle of the bed. When we were in the outside hot tub ice cold water started coming out of the air ducts and we all hurried up and got out . The hot tub and lazy river could have been warmer in general. We didnt use the indoor pool area so we cant speak on that. Housekeeping they only come in and leave new towels I dont think they make the beds....The toilet paper is very cheap and rough for the price of the rooms they could have better toilet paper and towels etc. There was a box of kleenex but they dont have a kleenex box holder for example and soap holder etc I didnt see any other toiletries in the bathrooms. We added a night to our stay after we got there but what was weird was on the day we checked out we still had to go to the desk and check out and then they had to do new paperwork to check back in and then when we came back to our room that evening after a long busy day our key cards would not work we had to go back to the check desk and they had to refigure our cards because of the checkout/check back in process they didnt checkback in our cards I guess. It seems like they either need to update their computer system or get a new one I've never had a problem adding a night to a stay before and having to checkout and check back in like a new stay.
Review 40:I loved the lazy river except it could have been warmer...The staff we encountered were all nice and polite including staff we would just pass on the elevator or hallway. The landscaping was pretty.
Review 41:The kitchen was not very well stocked, no dish rags or dishtowels, very limited on silverware and dishes, no sharp knives for steak or cutting tomatoes, and limited on pots and pans, no carts for luggage could be found at check out
Review 42:The rooms were great, the pools were awesome, all in all a great stay
Review 43:I don't have any bad comment
Review 44:The staff was very nice, I liked to stay in the apartment with my family (you feel at home), at all clean, at the end you need to back again
Review 45:We would love it if there was a breakfast bar. We would've also liked to have had the rooms vacuumed daily and the pool. We didn't like the parking lot view of Applebee's.
Review 46:We loved the water amenities.
Review 47:We have stayed at The Resort At Governor's Crossing a couple times. The only complaint we would have for this particular visit is that the air conditioning was shared between 2 rooms and not inside our room. This was very inconvenient when the air needed to be changed.
Review 48:The staff very very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the pool facilities and lazy river!
Review 49:Didn't like having to leave! :-)
Review 50:The room was amazing as always. The indoor and out water facility is awesome. The kids loved the movie night at the pool. It was incredible. We will always stay here....
Review 51:We loved the everything wish price would have been a little less so we could have stayed an extra night a little pricie
Review 52:The kids loved the pool area good location me and my husband really liked how the rooms was set up nice very nice
Review 53:Bed was awful - huge dip in middle and we kept rolling into the middle of the bed. It was so uncomfortable that we tried sleeping on the pull out couch in living room (not good either).The hotel had a bad odor in several areas. Kitchen needed to be stocked with a little more necessities to cook (pan/pots/utensils) and they need to replace the refrigerator bc pieces were broken inside and it shuts off if you block an area in the freezer and an area in the refrigerated section. Cleaning crew only replaced towels - didn't clean bathrooms at all (we were there 6 days) but did refill bathroom supplies. Makes the rental rate too high for what you get. Forget about getting wifi - could not connect in any of the rooms.
Review 54:Location to attractions and the pool area was pretty nice. Many places to eat and a Walmart just down the road made it very convenient.
Review 55:Bedding was very fair. Towels were cheap and rough and I had to hunt and steal toilet paper from carts and closets 3 days in a row.
Review 56:The pool facilities were great. Loved the location. Good sized rooms.
Review 57:I some how went through a booking agent who messed up what I booked, the whole week before I had to worry with getting it fixed being bounced back from the hotel the agent I also decided to come up a day before my reservation and wanted to add another night but got no help with that so ended up renting a room somewhere else. The water park the kids enjoyed but there was not one pool geared for adults, the lazy river was way to small and narrow so a adult could not even enjoy that so that was a bummer. For what we paid we could of stayed at Dollys resort. Or we could of rented a cabin a lot cheaper and spent the extra money on tickets to splash country and went in after 3 then back the next day which is the same amount of time we had at the hotel water park.
Review 58:I liked the lay out of the room with the exception there was no door to the balcony from the Master bed room.
Review 59:Our room 1405 had some type of water damage because they had dehumidifiers in our room to dry it out. There was visible damage to walls and paint in bathroom. The hot water was just warm and the jacuzzi tub had 4 out of 6 jets working. We had a balcony next to dumpsters that smelled and had racoons in them at night. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable due to the springs.
Review 60:The pools and activities were nice
Review 61:having to park and then walk all way around the pool to get to the entrance to the building,noisy heat pump,high price,dirty carpet, bugs in room
Review 62:i liked being able for our family to all stay in one apartment,the pool, and the arcade room
Review 63:Great place to stay perfect location, slow getting checked in but it was full to capacity so very understandable. And really not that long of a wait.
Review 64:Waterpark slides
Review 65:My little girl got sick and had a gall bladder attack,I had to leave on the 4th of July and drive home at night.I had 2 days left,and I couldn't get any refund because of holiday.
Review 66:The room was really nice,and clean.
Review 67:The room was attractive, comfortable, and clean. I loved having the kitchen and laundry in the room, too! We visited the water park each day and really enjoyed the variety of activities.
Review 68:for a one night stay need option on of free breakfast because we were only there for a show 1 night didn't use the pool so we love the suite for having a gathering place other than a hall at a hotel but it would have made it perfect for a one night stay
Review 69:2 bedroom suites are wonderful and we had company from fla. and loved it too.
Review 70:Very patchy wifi - tough to run a business on it, especially when it cuts in & out and can't use it passed the kitchen & bathroom. The shower head also was super low in pressure.
Review 71:Loved the environment! Staff was awesome and definitely BETTER to stay during the week. The movie nights are cool too!
Review 72:The furniture in our room was cheap. The stand up lamp in the bedroom was broken and the furniture in the living room looked like it came from Big Lots.
Review 73:I like the location of The Resort. The pools are a great attraction for the resort, also. I like being able to wash clothes in my room and that we had a kitchen available if we wanted to use it.
Review 74:The beds were not very comfortable & I wish there had been a continental breakfast offered.
Review 75:The facility was nice & the staff was very helpful. Great value for a family with kids, as the pools & water slides will surely keep them entertained for hours. Also, the location was great.
Review 76:I arrived after check in time and my room was not ready until almost 5 p.m. Check in was at three I believe. I feel like I should have been compensated by a later check out.
Review 77:we never received fresh towels/cloths for each day, we had to go to front desk every day to ask for more the four days we stayed. trash was never removed even though it is their policy for staff to do these two things everyday.
Review 78:location, friendly and helpful staff.
Review 79:Nothing to speak of.
Review 80:I would at that the size of the room we rented was the biggest plus!!itnwas spacious enough for myself, mom, my 16 year old, and 5 year old.
Review 81:The fact that I was supposed to be able to check in after 4pm but it was 6:22pm before my room was ready. I feel like they should have pro rated or given me a discount. The lady at the desk didn't even offer a slight apology. I only received a late checkout of only 1 hour beyond the original check out of 11am and that was because I asked for it when it was almost 2 1/2 hours beyond check in time that I was able to access my room.
Review 82:I did not like how the young lady that was working in the indoor water park acted.she was very rude and acted like she was miserable and was very unhappy with her job.
Review 83:I loved that the room had a full kitchen and was furnished with all the dishes.I also liked that there was plenty of stuff for the kids as well as adults. At the water park.
Review 84:doors to bed and bath too narrow for wheelchair-accessible requested when booked but wasn't available -but rest of condo was spacious
Review 85:loved area and waterpark and staff was nice would recommend for families with kids
Review 86:If you value your time, don't show up at check in. Three other families had to wait. I asked which building we would be in so we could unload our car & food. We asked if they had any carts, we were told to go check the floors and see if we could find any. We did, we loaded up and waited on our room. Finally got it, in ANOTHER building. We had to move our car, the luggage, food, etc for five people. It was a bad experience with every single thing regarding the staff. I am patient, I understand there is someone in charge, although I never saw them. They never came out and spoke to the people who were waiting and waiting and waiting on their rooms. The staff was not friendly, the young male pool staff (one particular) wasn't friendly to my teen (female) more than once. I didn't know until we had left or that would have been addressed at the time it happened. I saw them talking but didn't know there was an issue until I asked on the way home. Our sink would not drain, 5 people using one sink- we had to use the kitchen sink to brush our teeth. Did we call maintenance? No, they were supposed to fix the stove but never showed up. Wi-Fi? We called them, rude over the phone to another child of mine, and NO, it didn't work on the 5th floor. It did work at the pool. Three teens, we were expecting free Wi-Fi.
Review 87:The pool did have extras that the kids liked.
Review 88:Putt putt course is showing a lot of wear. You also have to give a CC or driver's license to play putt putt. Should be able to give room key to hold.
Review 89:The water park was great..
Review 90:Parking is tight, but it's like that at most places
Review 91:My children like the water park. Rooms are clean. We've stayed here twice, and probably will again the next time we visit the smokies.
Review 92:Drink machine took money two times. pool time needs to be longer.after touring around all day hard to get back snd be done by 11am. Longer pool hours for as much sd families pay.
Review 93:Comfortable stay, pool was hit with kids.
Review 94:At check out time the cleaning staff were trying to clean the elevator and the staff was using the elevator packing all the cleaning supplies and people checking out could not use it. I think they could find a different time to do this when there is less traffic in the elevator. Also a staff member (Mickey) although I could not understand her as she was not speaking English the words she did speak in English were inapproiate.
Review 95:Location, Nice property for young children
Review 96:Would of been great to have a breakfast buffet included.
Review 97:Kids liked the outside & inside pools & slides. We liked the space and comfort of the condo, washer and dryer a convenience we took advantage of. Location good for restaraunts, shopping ,close to some great attractions Titanic, Wonderworks, Nascar Speed park (great value, went twice),etc.
Review 98:Need more rollers to haul your luggage on.
Review 99:The water facilities for the family. The washer and dryer. The clean rooms and the great staff. Also the outdoor movie.
Review 100:Great location in close proximity to pigeon forge, gatlinburg, Dollywood. Our children (ages 8,5, and 2) all enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor water facilities. Rooms were spacious and clean.
Review 101:Our room was not ready at 4:00 check in. Other guests were also waiting for rooms that were not ready.
Review 102:Room was very comfortable and staff was friendly.
Review 103:Wi-fi was not very good where we were (back of second building). Seemed good everywhere else.
Review 104:Nice, family-friendly place. Staff I encountered were all pleasant and welcoming. Neat place with lots of things to do.
Review 105:Several repair isssues, missing light bulb, vent fan in bath not working, light over stove broken, Sleeps six, but dishes, etc, four only four. Had to ask for towels for six, soap, shampoo. Blankets were threadbare for sleeper, room needed dusting.
Review 106:Great location, pool and facilities are great for families.
Review 107:I didn't like that we only had two nights to stay.. would have preferred several nights.
Review 108:I like the room, the beds and the location. Have stayed there before and will do it again.
Review 109:Room on ground floor to close to game room. Had to deal with nose from game room until 11:00PM. Will never stay at this room again.
Review 110:Location very good. Staff very friendly.
Review 111:Our sliding door going out to the terrace wouldn't lock, the carpet should be replaced with tile would be cleaner, more lighting in living room
Review 112:Loved the waterpark
Review 113:The shower had a leak in the ceiling above it.
Review 114:We loved the resort overall. The pool and indoor Waterpark were awesome. The room was spacious and clean. Location was convenient to all the attractions. Would recommend to anyone.
Review 115:Our room is always awesome when we come. We started vacationing here 3 years ago, we just stayed a week for our honeymoon. Plan on coming back next spring for our vacation.
Review 116:The room was excellent. It was quite and the furnishings were nice. I enjoyed the kitchen area. The pool areas were a hit for the whole family! We had a great time & enjoyed the stay. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Review 117:The WiFi was slow
Review 118:The playground was nice and love all the pools very close to shopping,entertainment, and restaurants.Everything was clean and everybody was very friendly
Review 119:The indoor pool had a very strong smell of chlorine.
Review 120:The location was great, friendly staff and the indoor pool was definitively a plus due to the rainy weather.
Review 121:The room was not ready at 3:50, after we had been waiting in the car for an hour. My husband came in to ask if it was ready and a not so nice guy made a comment, we don't have to have it ready until 4:00. He could have said we can hold your stuff and you can go enjoy the pool and sun while you wait, however, making that comment made us never want to return. So no stopping there on our way back home! We were gone before 6am...thanks and no thanks.
Review 122:The kitchen is great, everything you would want. The bath tub was great wth jets. Rooms were clean.
Review 123:Parking is limited and many people choose to use two parking spaces for their vehicles and when I brought it up to the front desk it did not get fixed.
Review 124:The pool was awesome and the room was nice. Check in and out was a breeze and Mike at the front desk helped us plan our stops while we were there.
Review 125:The fact that breakfast wasn't offered, but they did give us coupons to go elsewhere... And the parking is a bit of a walk from where the entrance is..
Review 126:The staff was very friendly and helpful! The 2 bedroom apartment was very clean and comfortable!
Review 127:There were cobwebs all over the room. Very very dusty. The pool area closed early due to a child using the bathroom in the water. I wish we'd known about the restaurant discounts. We ate before checkin.
Review 128:The staff was great! They even called to check on us after we got settled in!
Review 129:We liked everything, no complaints here.
Review 130:Everything! The best place I have stayed in a long time. Planned to stay only one night but loved the place and decided to stay another. Clean and great place for families.
Review 131:Stayed at this resort about 10 years ago and thought upkeep was nicely done. Impressed that management called a hour or so after check-in to make sure everything was OK. Great service
Review 132:There really wasn't anything that we didn't like. Well...they need to have ice machines. Takes to long for the ice to major when its been turned off
Review 133:I liked the point location of the property. We were close to shopping and food.
Review 134:Good location. If the parkway is too crowded, this hotel offers easy access to Veterans Blvd which is a good cut through road. Clean room. Loved the kitchen and fireplace!
Review 135:The price was double normal rates but we were there on New Years so it's to be expected.
Review 136:We loved the pool. Water slides were great. Never a line and we were there on new years. 2 room apartment was roomy enough for the kids to play hide and seek for two hours. The resort was very clean and the pool area was well maintained.
Review 137:The room is a little outdated for the price, furniture is uncomfortable. Housekeeping is terrible! They do not service your room at all, only take your trash and exchange towels. We were not able to check in our room until 3 hours after check in time because the room wasn't ready. This was terribly inconvienent since we were traveling with 2 toddlers! We called the second night we were there to request a blanket and were told they didn't have any. Completely unacceptable for a place that we were paying $200 per night! We have stayed here before and had an experience where one of the couples in our group had housekeeping leave their room unlocked not once but twice during their stay which made them very nervous about the security of their belongings. Seems like the housekeeping department is critically understaffed. There is absolutely no acceptable excuse for having to wait 3 hours after check in time for your room to be ready.
Review 138:Enjoyed the water park and the size of the room. We had a full kitchen and seperate bedroom which was very nice. There are some very nice views available, our room this time did not have one but we had an excellent view in the room we had before.
Review 139:Our room had a fireplace that was great. Clerks Mike and Sally set us up with a great view. Beds were very comfortable and the room was clean. Paid less for our room than we would have at the Holiday or Comfort Inn.
