I was in Pigeon Forge visiting and wanted to rent a camp site for several days My first dilemma was at the check in/office/store. There is NO designated area for handicap patrons to park. I asked a hippie looking lady in the office about it and was told the owner took the handicap parking area sign down to make room for the ice machine and propane tank storage bin. In order for me to even get into the office I had to park on a sloped hill and keep my wheel chair from rolling down the hill while I tried to maneuver myself into the chair. There is NO designated camping site(s) for handicap patrons (I also asked about this at the office.) I have a tent and camp all over the country but this resort has no camping sites designated for the handicap. There is no lift chair at the pool(s) for the handicap to go swimming, I asked about this also. I cant climb up/down the ladder or steps to get into the water. The desk clerk advised she didn't know; she would have to ask the owner. I asked to meet with the owner and was told she was off that day. This all occurred on Sunday August 16, 2015. I drove around the campground and found many other ADA violations. They have rental cabins and not a single one has ADA handicap access. All the cabins have steps you must climb to gain access to the front door. No handicap parking area at the cabins for disabled guest. There are 2 cabins located next to the fishing pond that also have no ADA approved ramps or access to the fishing area. The handicap bathroom floor had approximately an inch of standing water in the floor that could cause a disabled guest to slip and fall if they even tried to get into the bathroom. No handicap sinks in the bathrooms. There is no access ramp or sloped sidewalk at the laundry rooms for disable guest to wash their clothes. I would not recommend a wounded warrior or disabled guest to stay here. - User3368

Stayed at Bear Cove for the first time. Was unbelievably surprised about the layout, cleanliness and overall experience. We stayed in a Standard site (versus Premium or Economy). It was very nice with a great paved back-in. Each site had a trash area, planter and lighted power boxes. While it was a typical "tight" Pigeon Forge RV campground - you got the feeling that you were tucked back in the woods. The campground has two different pools. Both very clean. A bit smaller, but fine for a quick dip. This park is also located only 1.25 miles from Dollywood. It was really easy to get in/out of the park and back to the campground. We will definitely be returning. - Curtis R

This is a very nice RV park, not a campground. Our site had a very small area for chairs and the fire ring was too close to our trailer. The wifi was excellent and we had good satellite TV. Staff was very pleasant. Close to the activities in Pigeon Forge. Sites were a little short and it was not easy to fit our truck into it after disconnecting. - rncordy

WiFi does not work and park manager told us she had no idea and said the homeowner association is fighting with the developer blah blah blah. The bath house was covered in spiders, the creek and the banks along side it were littered in trash, and we saw several snakes. Only 1 washer & dryer so you have to fight for a slot to wash your clothes. Home owner assoc. is not friendly and look down on campers. No area for dogs to run and they are not a pet friendly park. Will not stay here ever again. - User3368

Sites can be very tight when they have cars parking across from your site. We were able back in but it was not easy with our 40 ft 5th wheel. It was close to most activities but far enough away from the road such that road noise wasn't bad. I think that I would look for a park with a bit more room the next time. - mamestra

It was a nice park with cement pads. We liked it because it is off the main road and not so busy. Sites were a little tight but we were gone most of the time see the sights. We would go there again and recommend to other people. - belanga

Best campground ever. I will not stay at any other in Pigeon Forge. Bath house great clean and private. We go several times a year. Going in Nov. Close to everything we walked to most things. They have a café on site very good food. I give this one a thumbs up. - Vickie j

This is the best campground that we've ever stayed at. They have so much to offer. They have two swimming pools and a lazy river that is included at no extra charge. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a store and deli. Also have an ice cream shop. They have a well stocked rv supply section. If you need help with your camper their staff is willing to help you fix it. They are very knowledgeable. There is also a creek for fishing. The facilities were very clean. They have on site laundry. You can even rent a golfcart by the day or week. We rented a golf cart and picked it up at the store. They have nice cabins to rent also. The sites were spacious. I definitely plan to stay there again. - Debra Summers

I know the campgrounds in the area are all crowded with little space, but this is unlike any campground we have ever been in. We make yearly trips to the area, but this is the first time we have ever stayed in this particular campground. To say it was crowded is a huge understatement. The spaces were cramped with many sites having permanent storage units and other structures. Golf carts were everywhere! Never, never again! - nomoreteaching

We stayed here for four days. We didn't have reservations so we got a back in that was fairly level but near the entrance road which wasn't that busy. Sites on the creek or the pull thrus are terrific. Park is well maintained and we were able to get a satellite signal. Some sites can't get a signal. Centrally located but not right on the super busy routes. 50 amp service , cable, water and sewer. The WiFi is just okay but not great. We would stay here again. - signaloil

Small place but very nice and well kept, called ahead because concerned if we would fit with our large truck & 5th wheel and was assured they had a perfect spot for us and they did. Great staff only draw back was we were close to the road behind us but did get used to it. Trolley stop right in the campground which helped as traffic in the area is not fun to drive in, we will return. - DBLR

This campground is Passport America. Passport site says cash only, but for extended stays, we stayed 12 days, they do take credit cards. There is not a park store, but they do sell ice and firewood (the ice is the cheapest in the area at $1.50/bag). The trolley will pick you up, in front of the CG and there is a schedule posted on the office bulletin board. The shower house was large, but very old and cleaned daily. Large game room for kids and laundry room. We paid the PA rate of $17 a night. The Wi-Fi worked well, most of the time. Pool was nice and again cleaned and checked daily. The gravel site was not level, but was manageable. Very convenient to all the attractions in the area. Nice creek flows around the back of the CG and was a nice place to wade with the dogs. We would stay here again. - Poppadrb

This campground is Passport America. Mostly permanent residents in the RV section. Accommodates big rigs easily. We had full hookups - water , sewer and 50 amp electric plus cable TV. The shower house was large, but very old and marginally clean. Large game room for kids and laundry room. We paid the PA rate of $22.50 a night for a planned two week stay. They advertised Wifi, it was down when we got there and they kept making excuses for why and when it would be back up. For that reason only, we left early and they were good about refunding our money after 6 days. Very affordable and convenient to all the attractions in the area. - clongest

Rate is Passport America. Able to stay extended time at this rate. True from previous posts, no breakers on electrical box but that is why we have a surge protector. Good 50 amp electricity and good water pressure. Sites were level and wide. If park is full, sites back up to each other, but no problem when we were there. A couple run down trailers but most long termers were located together at the back of park and didn't look bad. We would return again. - PappaDee

Small, super nice, family-run campground at the southern most point of Pigeon Forge & at the edge of the parkway to Gatlinburg. It sits on a hill above another very crowded & busy campground, and above the parkway. The sites and road are paved. Sites are lovely with tall trees, a cement patio, nice picnic table and good hookups. WIFI is very spotty. Bathrooms & laundry room are modern and super clean. ($2/wash & $2/dry) There are lots of small cabins here if you want family to join you in the campground. Pool is clean and well-maintained. The location is excellent to go to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg or the National Park. We kept extending a day and they worked hard to make that possible. It would be a 10 if the WIFI was reliable. We loved it here! - R&S

Very nice park. Clean, well laid out, shaded. We were there the first night of the 2012 season, and all appeared new and ready. Suspect it could get a little crowded when full, but still more spacious than many other places we have been. Wi-Fi worked well. Nicest restroom/shower facilities we have seen in a long time. Office staff was knowledgable, friendly and helpful. The only drawback is that you have to be careful how you approach the park from the north. Turn in before the last Pigeon Forge traffic light and then go through another campground that appears to have built on both sides of a city street. We will look forward to staying here again. - mtnmanky

We picked this park because of the good reviews we'd read, but it does have some drawbacks worth mentioning. It's easy enough to find and get into, but getting out was always a problem. It's located right at the edge of Pigeon Forge and the traffic pouring into town made getting out on the road a challenge. Also, there was no left turn available so heading toward Gatlinburg meant making a U-turn, not an east thing to do with a camper. We stayed near the front of the park and the traffic noise was pretty bad there. The back of the park had no nice views though so it was a tradeoff. The WI-FI was pretty much unreliable at our camper, but walking closer to the bath house made it much better. The park staff was very friendly and helpful and that made up for some of the drawbacks. If we stay there again we'll definitely go to the back of the park away from the traffic noise. - User2063

A lovely RV park near the center of activities in Pigeon Forge. Approximately five minutes off the main highway into the city. The owners are friendly and well organized. The pull thru sites which are for RVers passing thru are a little close, each on a concrete pad, a table and small shade trees. Next door to the park is a city park that has a very nice running/walking track. The RV park also has a stream at the back of the park for fishing w/o a license. The RV park is at the foot of a mountain which has cabins on it. It is beatiful at night to see the light from the cabins. I would definitely stayere again and again. - Raegirl2

This is the 4th time we stayed here. It is a beautiful RV park with paved roads throughout. Many trees and a lazy river that is along one side. They have a very nice store and many chairs out front if you just want to hang out and visit. The sites are all level and very well groomed. We just love it and will continue to go there whenever we visit the area. - Wisconsin camper skb

The rate we paid was based on our RPI Membership. The park is a couple of miles from the town of Pigeon Forge along a windy road with Mill Creek running along side. We had a spacious back-in site with a concrete pad for tables & chairs. They have a clubhouse and a pool. It was a nice setting and a great base for touring Smokey Mountain National Park. To obtain a 10 rating it needed picnic tables and a little more landscaping between sites although some of the sites up the hill from the Office/Rec Room may have been a little nicer. Our site was close to the entrance to the park. - Michael Kibler
Oct 2012 - $38.00
All the graveled sites were back-in. Ours was not level either front tp back or side to side. There was only one bathhouse for the whole campground. To get to the park, you have to travel on a narrow street, and you really have to watch for the turn onto the street between two "landmarks". We camped in a motorhome. - 1dinky
May 2012 - $29.00
Nice friendly staff. Very helpful and informative, Sites were a little close, but most are. A lot of campers looked like full timers that lived there most of the time. The park was clean with some shady spots. There was a non denomination church service and Tuesday game night. The trolley stops by there every 15 minutes to take you to town or Gatlinburg. We would stay there again, especially for the price of being close to Pigeon Forge. - Idle Spurs

I cannot understand why anyone would give this campground a rating of more than two.
Upon arrival were were assigned a site that was terrible. There is no way one can get level in that site. In fact, this should never had been made into a campsite as it is very difficult to back into and is downhill from the road with a drop off. When we complained, the manager said there was only one other site available but it was a 50 amp site so we would have to pay more even though we only use 30 amps --- total ripoff.
We got to the site and it was not level at all. We had to use many leveling blocks just to get somewhere level, as did other campers in this area. The road noise was terrible. It seems as though perimeter sites and the gravel sites near the office are not level, while those in the center are.
On the positive side, the bathroom at the office were clean as were the showers. The WIFI worked reasonably well. The campground is located close to attractions, as others have said. We had to leave a day early and were refunded the cost of that night which we appreciated.
A word to the wise when booking a reservation at this campground. Our credit card was charged on August 17, 2015 for the full amount of our stay even though we did not arrive until August 29, 2015. If one does not pay their credit card in full each month, this practice is costing the customers of this campground more than they should be liable for. Furthermore, if one does pay all charges monthly, then the credit card issuer is absorbing the cost. While the amount may be small per stay, the annual amount is likely significant.
We made reservations at another KOA campground in the same state and on the same date. We were only charged for one night which has been our experience for over twenty years.
We likely will not return to this campground. - Jackson W

Stayed two nights in mid July on a full weekend. First time here in a few years, since the campground expanded its group tent camping. Bathrooms were dirty all weekend; a couple were out of order including showers and toilets. Pool was overcrowded. Very close spots, pull through sites very tight as well. Campground needs additional bathrooms and to redirect the activities staff to cleaning staff. Trampoline bounce was fun for kids, lots of activities but could not get over the grossness of the bathrooms. Playground needs work. Only saving grace is its very close to Dollywood. Will not return. Stay somewhere else. - TnCampersx4
Jul 2015 - $47.00
When we arrived I was so disappointed with the tight campsites, also the site we were placed was pretty much in the entrance and next to the busy pool, I just knew I was going to be mad the whole week. But by day two I felt this was one of the best campgrounds in the smokeys and suited our needs perfectly! The staff was awesome, the facilities were clean, and proximity to everything was perfect. The bus stop to Dollywood or Gatlinburg are right there, a park (Patriot Park) and food (Old Mill), the strip, the river are all within walking distance, and finally a dog friendly park. The smokey mountains is a very popular place and so from what I noticed all campgrounds are tight. But what sets this place apart are everything I mentioned, no need to look elsewhere. I am not easily impressed but I was pleasantly surprised and after my initial feelings about this place, I'll admit I was totally wrong. - Edouble

A very nice campground located close to everything Pigeon Forge has to offer. Sites are concrete/black top and level. All hookups are well located and everything worked without any problems. Restroom were spotless as were the showers. The only negative was the pull thru sites are too close.
We have a 29 foot travel trailer with a full size Ford van as a tow vehicle making it a little difficult to pull out when leaving when a long coach is in front of you. - ANDYO1

We stayed here for 12 days on vacation. Me, wife, girls ages 7 and 12. It was our home base while we explored the area. We stayed in the sites by the stream - which are nice due to the shade. There is one site in the back of the property closest to the stream which has a lot of space and privacy - nab that one if you can. Trees are not huge but are growing. Well maintained property. Beautiful restrooms (did I mention beautiful!)! Nice pool. We actually enjoyed that one better than the one across the street that you can use. That one was dirtier and really busy most of the time.
No activities - but that is what Pigeon Forge is for. Due to the nice bathrooms everyone uses them so by the end of the day the showers may be in need of cleaning. They clean them in the mornings and do a nice job of it.
Internet was terrible. Office people were friendly and helpful.
Very good location. Close to everything but not on top of the main drag like some of the other parks. Did not feel like you were in a busy area at all (and Pigeon Forge is VERY busy). Would DEFINITELY consider staying again if in the area. - T.Butter

Park is clean. Right in the center of town, so it's very convenient. Getting a reservation by phone is very frustrating if you get the person who doesn't speak very good English. (He's a very nice man, but should not be allowed to take reservations). Park has no pool, but is on a creek. We stay here often. The staff is very friendly and the location of the park is great. - BethAnne

The RV park is in an excellent location for visiting the Pigeon Forge area. There is no pool or playground in the park. The cable TV and Wi-Fi worked well. Many of the sites, but not all, have a concrete pad. The restrooms were clean and the staff was friendly. - Oakman

We stayed here while attending a concert at Dollywood. This is a quiet, nice enough park. Riverside sites are nice, although a bit tight. Sites are situated mostly perpendicular to the road which makes a little challenging for backing in a big rig. Bathrooms and showers are "OK", nothing special. I gathered that they cleaned the restrooms and emptied trash once every 2-3 days. This facility hosts many gospel events and rallies, and they have a church service at the pavilion on Sunday morning. The staff we encountered were polite and helpful. Based on other options in Pigeon Forge, we would stay here again. - classact

Apr 2015 - $50.00
Sites are rough, not paved, dirt and grass and the one we had was very elevated in the rear making leveling nearly impossible. Not real sure if I would stay here again or not? You are extremely close to the parkway, in fact the park borders the parkway and you get all the traffic noise all the time.
Look close at the site BEFORE you stay here, I am sure they have some acceptable sites but still going to be very close. - GA-RVers

Very nice park. We stayed here for the first time 12 years ago. We have stayed at other campgrounds and cabins since but came back this year due to needing 2 sites side by side and having waited too long to make reservations. The bathrooms were resort/spa quality and the grounds were clean. I only gave it a 9 due to the fact that to get a 10 you have to be perfect. This place was very nearly perfect. Electric fluctuated between 118 and 123 all weekend and the place was packed so that is good. Had it been hotter and everyone running AC it might have been different. The roads and such are tight but there is adequate space on the spots and nobody was denied the opportunity to deploy slideouts and/or awnings. If you come here you really have to watch kids on bicycles, they are everywhere. I am not complaining as it is fun to see kids running around having fun without the worries of adulthood, I just want to warn you so you don't have any unfortunate accidents. Will stay here again. Nice shady spots and very good cable. Wi-Fi is spotty at best. - Godsey97

90% permanent occupants with old tacky rigs. The people next to us had a very loud pick up that came and went at all hours of the night. They tied their dogs outside at midnight and they barked. Their description in Passport America book was very deceiving. No cable, no pavement. - Jeff59

Most disgusting campground we have ever stayed at!! I thought perhaps it was slightly shabby per the other reviews, but no, this place is nasty! Dirty, junk piled everywhere, dogs and children running all around, filthy bathrooms that reek of cigarettes, pool looked like a health hazard. We made sure to lock the doors and roof of the Jeep, a safe neighborhood it is not. Stay here at your own peril. - clm29

We lost $50 because we paid before looking. They do not give refunds at all. We should have looked before paying. I felt very uncomfortable, so we drove around and found another campground that was a 1000% nicer. Shady Oaks is very shady with a lot of permanent dwellers that have very run down campers and mobile homes. The bathrooms are dirty and run down. They have a lot of stray dogs running around. The owners are very old, and I guess they just can not handle it anymore. Would not stay here. - sambasstuff

We stayed in #73 which is in the middle, 3 spots from the entrance. Nice, but small playground, laundry, and half bath along with the office are at the entrance. Our 3 year old loved the playground. No real view of the small river from our spot. The pool and kids "pool" are in the center of the park and were in great condition. Trolly stops at the entrance and pool. We did not bring a car and relied on the trolley which was ok. Good location. Concrete pad and patio. - foosh

This park is okay but seems over-rated. The main good thing going for it is location. But then they pack every available space with an RV including putting RVs on car parking spots on the east end of the park. Some RV spots back right up to the bathrooms. All the sites along the river slope excessively towards the river. We saw RVs unable to level their rig and other 5'ers with the nose landing gear completely retracted trying to level. I wouldn't be able to sleep on a slope like that hoping my chocks hold. As other reviewers mentioned, these more expensive river sites don't have much of a view either since there's a construction zone or a multi-story hotel just across the river. We stayed on the back row and found those sites longer and mostly level. Camp wifi had a strong signal but dropped offline frequently. Cable TV worked fine which was good since trees blocked satellite access. Both Verizon & ATT had good signals. Price reflects a weekly rate. - Danno
Mar 2015 - $35.00
I don't completely understand the high rating for this campground. It was clean and well maintained, but had several negatives. If you pay premium to be on the stream, you look into a three story motel on the other side, or have a construction site in your back window. The sites were very unlevel. There was over a foot difference between the front of the rv and the rear. The WiFi was almost nonexistent. We could occasionally connect in the mornings, but it was not reliable and was extremely slow. When I tried to use the laundry, there was a sign directing me to the office for change or soap. The problem was, however, we never could find anyone in the office. I think we will look for another campground the next time we are in the area. - nomoreteaching

This is a beautiful park, off the main drag so it is very quite but very convenient to everything in Pigeon Forge. They were very welcoming and made us feel like they were very glad we were there and would bend over backwards to help us out anyway they could. There is no bathhouse here but that didn't bother us at all. They are doing some upgrades but they made sure that all of their equipment was out of view and they were not working on it while a lot of campers are there. This park will be even nicer once that is done. We would definitely stay here again! - jenkins620

We stayed at this campground the first year they opened and were so impressed that we came back again in 2015. The second stay was disappointing. We stayed here for more than one week and the long grass had not been mowed nor were the shrubs trimmed. I am hoping this was a fluke because the park is only a couple miles to the main strip yet is very quiet. There are no amenities to speak of, but if you are self contained and don't have kids, it doesn't really matter. I don't know if we will camp here again on our return trip or try something different. - Tammy7

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This is a beautiful, wooded oasis of peace and calm within 2.5 miles of Pigeon Forge, which must be the loudest, most commercialized and garish place east of the Mississippi. What a happy surprise! UpTheCreek is bordered on 2 sides by creeks so there are lots of creekside sites. All sites are roomy. You must be fully self-contained, as there are no bathhouses. Also no store, playground, pool, all of which means the rates are reasonable, and the campground is kept pristine. There's also a leash-free dog walk, and $4 firewood bundles. - roydogs

Very small campground, but will accommodate big rigs easily. Also a Passport America find, we paid the PA rate of $22.50 per night for entire stay. Water, sewer, 50 amp electric, free Wifi, cable TV, laundry room, bath house. The bath house was very old and quite dirty, with cobwebs, leaves and spiders everywhere, but the showers were large and wearing shower shoes helped. Owners live on site and are very friendly and helpful. A few residents, but mostly people came and went in the nine days we spent here. Washers were a little pricey at $2.00, but I checked a local washateria and found $2.50 there. Trolley stop right in front. - clongest

This is a very small (35 site) private campground, but the owners are extremely helpful, friendly and have done a lot of work making this a pleasant place to stay, including lots of little treasures to feast one's eyes on. The sites are relatively small, but the owner expertly helped guide us in. The sites are gravel with a concrete pad next to it with a table and chairs, so we have stayed in much tighter spaces. Although the RV section isn't much to look at, the office area and behind it is very nice, with a creek running there (to swim and fish). There's a beautiful deck and a few scenic sitting areas. They also rent the most adorable cabins! - cherylbrv

Rate is PPA. Previous reviews all highlight small, tight spaces. Yep. Closest we have been to others living since we were in Japan living in town. That was unsettling. But, in driving around, most of the parks in this area are like that...crammed and jammed. You are on the edge of the Smokies and Dollywood is the big draw. That aside, folks were very pleasant, restrooms clean, WiFi fast and easy, cable TV appropriate choices. The trolley stops at the park entrance so for $0.50 you can ride into town, or around and another $0.50 gets you to Dollywood. If you are here for the entertainment, not relaxing in a campground and nature, then this is a good choice. - Too-wow

Excellent experience!Posted Oct 13, 2015
Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing that we could think of.
Location: Located right on the Riverwalk with many sites including the Alamo within walking distance.
All the extras (breakfast, kickback happy hour including food, wifi) for no extra charge! Reasonably priced parking right on the Riverwalk. It was exactly what my wife and I had hoped for.

Great hotel with historical feel and value.Posted Oct 3, 2015
This was our second time to stay here. This time we were able to get a suite. But both times it was clean and comfortable. We love the feeling of this hotel because it takes you back in time a bit. Yes there are new hotels with modern looks, but this is historical hotel. There aren't too many of those left and kept in such a shape as this one. The breakfast is great and there is always plenty to go by. The complementary drinks were also great, we really enjoy this feature. The staff is very nice and attentive, all of them. There is a bit of a wait for the elevators at times when it's busy, but one has to remember that the elevators are smaller than the modern ones, and when the hotel is really busy there will be a lot of people in them. Patience is the key, or take the stairs if you're not too high up. But it's part of the charm of this hotel. We love that we can just walk right out to the river-walk from it, and it's in a very good location.

On the San Antonio River walkPosted Sep 21, 2015
Pros: Rooms are very roomy.
Location: View from pool on roof is nice. Outdoor and indoor pool and hot tubs. Terrace view of San Fernando cathedral very cool. River walk is at your door.
Access to the river walk is easy and secure. Major restaurants and attraction close by. Don't need to drive anywhere. Everything is close by, easy walking distances, and there is always something happening somewhere close. La Vallita, River City Mall, museums, all close. 5:30 pm "Kick back" is awesome with food and drinks provided. Breakfast (provided) is plentiful and very good. All staff are friendly and courteous. Easy check in and check out.

Best HotelPosted Sep 21, 2015
Pros: everything. I have no complaints about anything.
Cons: nothing
Location: We were on the river. we only took our car out once we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Alamo, Travis Park and everything on the river.
The staff was friendly and helpful. All we had to was and our needs were met with a smile. and the breakfast was great. the Kick back in the afternoons was good as well twice we made a meal of it and saved money to spend on other things. The view from the roof where the pool is beautiful at sunset and at night.

Drury on the river walk is our favorite!Posted Sep 19, 2015
We love staying at the Drury on the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Staff are friendly and so helpful. Rooms are clean and beautiful. Breakfast can't be beat and the 5:30 hourderves are great! And the Riverwalk is right outside the hotel. It's the only place we stay!!

Friendliest StaffPosted Sep 15, 2015
Pros: The most outstanding feature of this hotel was the outstanding quality of the staff. Everyone was helpful, friendly and accommodating.
Cons: Very poor elevator service; hot tub not fully functioning and while ceiling fan in room was very nice, you could not adjust the speed.
Location: The hotel is at the end of the San Antonio River walk, but has a close proximity to everything it has to offer; just expect to walk.
We had a good stay (3-day weekend). The hotel includes a hot breakfast buffet & happy-hour. Don't expect GREAT food though-it is marginally okay. They also served the same exact thing two days in a row. The happy hour time includes 3 free cocktails/beer/wine, which is very nice. The hotel did not appear to have any type of restaurant or bar or offer any room service, so you MUST leave if you want food any time other than the morning breakfast or afternoon happy hour. The staff is outstanding; however and that makes up for a lot. Good rooftop pool, but the hot tub was not fully functioning. There are two hot tubs, but the other was in use; I don't know whether it worked well or not. The location was good, though at the END of the riverwalk ... if you're going to be on-foot, you're better off walking on the street instead of the slow, winding, crowded Riverwalk. You are forced to use the valet parking (no self-park available), but the $21 per day fee is worth it ... the valets are quick, courteous & will offer directions. We were there on the weekend and only had a VERY short wait each time we took our vehicle out. Again ... extremely friendly and courteous! Overall our stay was good. I will look into this particular hotel chain to stay in other areas the next time I travel and compare the cost & accommodations to other hotels first.

I have already talked with several of our friends about our great experience. The Hotel is now our favorite and we will be going back. The staff was wonderful, "Gabby" checked us in and treated us with such respect. A wonderful experience for our anniversary, Thanks so much. Tony E. Houston

* A unique UDK (Unreal Development Kit) Tutorial game level in which you can learn and experiment together with over fifty exercises to help embed your knowledge * Twenty tutorial videos to support your development * A library of hundreds of sound effect files to get you started * Regularly updated links to articles and further resources to keep you at the cutting edge
A practical, straight-forward introduction to implementing sound in games - this book fills a gap in the marketplace for sound professionals and students who want to design, implement, and produce game audio, all covered in one essential guide - with 20 added video tutorials and several hundred sound files students can plug right into games!
Better use of audio makes for a better game. Whether you're a sound designer, composer, or game designer, you are responsible for the audio experience.

Table of Contents
Chapter 1 : Basic training
Readers will be introduced to the chosen platform for demonstrating the principles within the book, Epic Games 'Unreal Development Kit' (available to all readers for free at http://www.udk.com/). They will learn about the importance of ambient sound in adding character and immersion to game environments. Via a number of simple tasks they will learn how to navigate the UDK interface and how to implement basic sound ambiences.
Chapter 2 : How big is the van ?
This chapter will deal with the issues of memory when developing audio for games. A number of solutions to non-repetitive design will be discussed, illustrated and accompanied by tasks to embed knowledge. These techniques and principles are particularly applicable to platforms where the memory is a significant restriction such as the NDS, PSP, iPhone or other mobile devices, but are also equally important for other consoles such as the Wii, XBox360 and PS3 albeit on a different scale.
Chapter 3 : Making it sound real
This chapter will deal with a number of acoustic principles, as applied in games, and their implementation. It also will discuss the need to create a realistic, consistent and believable sound world through the implementation of sounds to accompany the physical interaction of gameplay objects.
Chapter 4 : Making it sound good
This chapter will deal with the crucial issues of how sound can support gameplay and narrative not only through adding characterisation to objects and characters but by also being reactive to game events via the use of interactive mixing.
Chapter 5 : Music systems
This chapter will cover music implementation in games. It will deal with a number of different approaches going from simple crossfading systems to more generative techniques.
Chapter 6 : Dialogue
This chapter will begin by looking at some of the tragic history of dialogue in games and posit some reasons for these continuing crimes, before proposing some suggestions and techniques for improving things in the future.
Chapter 7 : Advanced Sound system design
This chapter deals with complex interactive systems for game sound design such as vehicle and weapon design. In this chapter we will dig beneath the usual user interface of the game development tool and look at some of the key concepts relating to the scripting and programming that go on under the hood.
Chapter 8 : Next steps
This chapter will look at career opportunities within the games industry. It will include interviews with industry practitioners, advice on the roles available within industry, and advice for creating an appropriate demo reel.
Appendix A :Sound FX design
This chapter will look at practical sound FX design for games. Taking the reader from basic recording principles to processing and digital audio manipulation for the creation of sound FX.
Appendix B: Sampling and resampling
This demonstrates the application of this important technique via a freely available audio editor package.

I will be 33 weeks tomorrow and was put on modified bed rest today due to my high blood pressure. I am really upset because of the bind it puts us in financially so soon. I am a high school teacher and was supposed to start the 2nd semester tomorrow with my new classes. I was hoping to work until March and then take the rest of the year off. Now, I will have to come back at the end of April which is always difficult with high school students. I just feel so helpless right now. My poor 3 year old is going to have to deal with this. Just needed to vent I guess.

Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Both Gordon Wittenmyer and Paul Sullivan are reporting that Alfonso Soriano will return to the Cub lineup without an intervening rehab assignment and that, according to the manager, Soriano will also step right back into the leadoff role upon his return, on or around May 1st.
From Wittenmyer in the Sun-Times:
Alfonso Soriano won't be hopping down the rehab-assignment trail, but
he will jump right back into the Cubs' leadoff spot when he returns
from the disabled list in another week, manager Lou Piniella said
''We want to make sure that he can do all the things that a leadoff
hitter needs to do,'' Piniella said. ''We don't want to take any
chances here early in the year, bringing him back too soon, and all of
a sudden we've got another problem on our hands.
''But, yeah, when he comes back, he'll go to left field and lead off.''
Sullivan of the Tribune, obviously sitting in on the same Q&A with Lou, offers a slighly more nuanced report:
...when asked if he planned to insert Soriano back into the leadoff
spot next week, Piniella paused for a few seconds before giving his
"Yeah, we'll put him back in left field and lead him off," he said. "We
want to make sure he can do all the things a leadoff hitter needs to
do. We don't really want to take any chances here early in the year of
bringing him back too soon, and all of a sudden we have another problem
on our hands.
Lou seems to pause at least a few seconds before answering most questions, but what I'm going to read into this particular pause--and the reason, I think, that Sullivan even chose to characterize Piniella's answer that way--is that Lou is leaving himself the latitude to declare upon Soriano's return that in order to ease him back into the flow of things, the Cubs will be moving him down in the order, at least temporarily.
Arguably, this would accomplish two things:
- Protect Soriano from pushing himself too hard and reinjuring the calf.
- Minimize the disruption to a lineup that has shown the ability to score many, many runs, even without Soriano in the mix.
For the record, here's what our various leadoff men have done so far in 2008:
|Leadoff Man
|PA's as #1
Forgive the question in the middle of a fabulous hot streak in which the Cubs have looked positively fearsome and supremely confident--did anyone doubt they were going to come back from that 5-3 deficit last night in Denver?--but wouldn't Brian Roberts still look awfully handsome in blue and red?
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
He'd be a decent addition, but not if we have to give away the farm (literally) in order to get him. Screw McFail, let's see how we do with the team we already have at present.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Where does Roberts play on this team? I probably get flamed for saying this but...... I'd rather let DeRosa and Cedeno play.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
That's stupid.
Re: Where does Roberts play on this team?
A team can never have too many short speedy overpaid bald-faced liar PED junkies.
Just ask Dusty.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
This doesn't bother me a whole lot, to be honest. The 3-6 combo of Lee-Ramirez-Fukudome-DeRosa has been working very, very well, and I'd be wary about screwing with the mojo by sticking Soriano in there.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
From the previous thread...
I honestly don't want Soriano to come back. This is a TEAM right now and Soriano is the farest from a team player there is. All he cares about is himself and getting what is best for him. If he didn't he wouldn't insist upon hitting lead-off.
This is how the Sammy Sosa had bad attitude started, from people like this spreading bullshit that wasn't even true and eventually was written down as fact.
Now in the last couple days i have been seeing people trying to start this crap with Soriano. Who by all team-mate accounts is one of the most liked players on the roster. He comes to play everyday with a youthful energy and smile.
But because he makes alot of money and isn't hitting (right now, when has he not hit?), suddenly he isnt a "team player" and he is "selfish." Its like the Sammy Sosa attack play book word for word.
I can say this is a fact...if you don't want Soriano back then you aren't a Cubs fan much less a baseball fan. A player capable of a 100 runs scored, 30 HR and 90 RBI isn't playing LF and I want that offense in the lineup ASAP.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Don't get too worked up Mike. I don't think that what was written there is any indication of the feelings that fans have towards Soriano. Just one new TCR guy spouting off.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
I said he wasn't a team player and he was selfish last year too; even when he was hitting in September. It has nothing to do with how much money he makes or with the fact the Cubs are rolling without him.
Do you really believe people in D.C. think he is a team player? Everyone seems to forget that he threatened to sit out an entire year in D.C. because he wasn't going to play the position that he thought he could get the most money for in the free agent market. He actually sat two games out because he didn't want to play left field, until he was told by Diego Bentz that he wouldn't be relieved of his contract if he sat out the whole year. He thought he would be of more value on the market in the winter of 2007 as a second baseman than as an outfielder, which is why he didn't want to play left. He really should have thanked Frank Robinson on his way out of D.C. But yes, I can see how that is helping the team win.
You are right, he doesn't say he MUST hit leadoff. But he does use not hitting leadoff as an excuse for when he struggles hitting in other parts of the order. I don't care how many solo homeruns he hits batting leadoff, anyone who has struck out nearly 4x more than he has walked in his career should not be hitting leadoff. Yes, he half-heartily tells the media that he will hit wherever Lou wants him to, but then when he struggles hitting in other parts of the order blames it on not hitting leadoff.
Don't say that I am not a baseball, or a Cubs, fan because I followed Soriano before he got to Chicago and I know how many selfish tendencies he truly does have. Just because some of them have yet to come to light in Chicago does not mean they are not there. A key word in your rant is 'capable'. Yes, he is 'capable' of those numbers, but I would bet a large sum of money he never puts those numbers up again. I hope I am wrong because if he does then that means great things for the Cubs, but I really don't think he ever will again. His legs are getting frail and he strikes out a lot; move him down in the order (let him adjust for a month) and let him drive in 100+ runs, where it is OK to have a lifetime OBP of .326.
Don't get me wrong, I want to see him succeed because that will help the Cubs win, but I would take nine guys like Mark DeRosa on my team before I would take nine guys like Alfonso Soriano on my team any day of the week.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
I said he wasn't a team player and he was selfish last year too; even when he was hitting in September.
Please explain how Soriano was selfish last year.
Being a bad leadoff hitter ≠ selfish.
I would take nine guys like Mark DeRosa on my team before I would take nine guys like Alfonso Soriano on my team any day of the week.
Heh. And you would have a worse offense. And possibly a worse defense.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
It seems monumentally stupid to have a slugger with a .269 OBP in the leadoff spot. Johnson's average will eventually get back above the Mendoza Line, and his OBP is phenomenal considering his average. We need that selective eye in the leadoff spot.
...unless we get someone better and have someplace to put him. :P
Re: nohit
Let me get this right, its "monumentally stupid" to have Soriano bat leadoff because his OBP is 269 after 2 weeks of the season - ignoring that he has a career OBP of 340 batting lead-off.
Meanwhile, Johnson's OBP is "phenonmenal" considering his average because he has 2 walks, compared to 4 hits in his 26 plate appearance? Its only a big gap because its a worthlessly small sample.
I suppose you can assume Johnson will start hitting above 200, (even though you've taken Soriano's 269 OBP as an unchanging fact) but he's not going to keep getting 1 walk for every 2 hits. His career OBP batting lead off is just 10 points higher than Soriano's.
I'm not saying Soriano is the ideal leadoff hitter, and personally I would like to see him hit down in the order, but Soriano hitting first is not the unforgivable sin that some are making it out to be.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Actually, given the production of the current players out of the number one spot, having Soriano come back into it would be a huge potential upgrade. He just needs to take it really easy so he doesn't aggravate his legs again.
Screw Brian Roberts. We need to upgrade the starting pitching.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Something about the fact that I agree with a guy named Porno Dave, makes me laugh.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
I wouldnt mess with the lineup at all. I like having it producing from top to bottom. That is how we are running up teams pitch counts and taking a bunch of walks.
This is the way I see it. If 1-4 do nothing the 1st inning then your leading off with Fuku, DeRosa, and Soto the next inning. It's like having 2 top of the lineups in the same lineup...if that makes any sense.
I like how the lineup is stretched out and is tough to pitch to. I know Theriot is a whipping boy but he is a tough out for a pitcher.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Theriot's a particularly tough out right now. .402 OBP through 74 AB's.
Obviously won't keep up for the full season, but he's got it going right now. If he goes through another uber-slump like last year, then we'll talk. But, if cools off just a little bit, it won't be that big of a deal.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Well he has passed one part of the Soph test. Can he hit to start of season #2? Now lets see if its a product of hitting mostly fastballs...like Alex Gonzalez.
Brian Roberts .281 .351 .408* .759 $6,300,000
Ryan Theriot .282 .347 .388 .735 $428,000
*slugging % puffed up on STEROIDS
Re: NUANCE THIS
Come on, dude. That's ridiculous. You're really unbelieveable.
First of all, nobody knows if the Mitchell Report is completely factual.
Furthermore, which steroids did he take? Ones to improve his slugging percentage? Ones to improve his recovery time from injury? Ones to improve his muscle reaction? You're just making shit up now.
Re: NUANCE THIS
First of all, nobody knows if the Mitchell Report is completely factual.
Roberts admitted that at least his section of the Mitchell Report was factual.
Re: NUANCE THIS
Alright then. I have no problems with people not wanting steroid users on their baseball team. But, just say that. "I don't want Brian Roberts on my team because he used steroids." Seems simple enough, doesn't it?
Saying that he hits more doubles, triples, and home runs because he took steroids (since, of course, that's what ALL steroids do, duh) just shows that the person in question is attempting to be an expert on a subject he clearly has no knowledge of.
Re: NUANCE THIS
I don't want Brian Roberts on this team because he's washed up/terrible. He's a marginal upgrade for a huge price.
I don't understand the Roberts love. Yeah in the past he was good. So were Sammy, Bonds, Big Hurt, Piazza...why don't we just pick one of them up?
Re: NUANCE THIS
Where is shit like this coming from? We're being bombarded by frat boy morons from THE Ohio State University.
Roberts' 2007: .290/.377/.432 OPS+ 112 SB 50 (out of 58 chances)
He's off to a bit slower start in 2008, but his OBP is still .080 points higher than his BA. And he's 8 for 10 on the basepaths. Not to mention he's got gap power and plays average/good defense, i.e. as good as DeRosa if not better.
I like DeRosa a lot, and I'm fairly indifferent as to acquire Roberts, but make some decent arguments when you're arguing against acquiring a player. Not crap like "his power came only from PEDs" and "I don't want him because he sucks".
Sheer fucking idiocy.
Re: NUANCE THIS
obviously Andrew is a Michigan alum...
Re: NUANCE THIS
Duly noted.
Re: NUANCE THIS
Yes and all he admitted was that he tried HGH once and never again.
Re: NUANCE THIS
Yes and all he admitted was that he tried HGH once and never again.
No, he admitted using anabolic steroids, but only after he denied using them.
The controversy surrounding Roberts' strange new power-surge started in 2005...
Then in 2006...
Three O's Players Deny Steroid Use
Clemens, Pettitte Also Rebut Grimsley
By Amy Shipley
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, October 2, 2006; Page E05
The Baltimore Orioles issued a statement of support yesterday for their three players accused of using anabolic steroids by a former major league pitcher as the players -- Miguel Tejada, Brian Roberts and Jay Gibbons -- denied the charges.
and then faced with the possibility of a federal indictment he admitted to using anabolic steroids
Re: Furthermore, which steroids did he take?
I'm pretty sure he took the kind that artificially inflates his salary.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
I didn't know an elite 2nd baseman like Brian Roberts is just as good as a DeRosa or Theriot.
Huh wow, i am sure all the experts agree also...
Roberts -- at what cost?
Roberts would have been nice -- but, DeRo is doing just fine afetr a very good year last year, and Gallagher is off to a terrific start in Iowa at the ripe old age of 22. If he keeps pitching like this (very early, I know), the Cubs could deal Marquis before his second half meltdown. Quality starting pitching -- you can never have enough.
Smardjza (sp) looking pretty good too.
Re: Roberts would have been nice
Why not pick up Barry Bonds too while we're at it?
Re: Roberts would have been nice
Our next strength and conditioning coach?
I think we should trade for
Pacman Jones too. :)
and I'm not kidding when I say this, I wouldn't trade Gallagher or him straight up at this point.
Re: I think we should trade for
I respectfully disagree. You can't just go out and get an all-star caliber player any time you want. If Brian Roberts is available, you try to get him. It's pretty much that simple.
Re: I think we should trade for
just think he's way overhyped, had a great year in 2005 and was the default Orioles All-Star in 2007. Not much else there when you look at the numbers.
Re: I think we should trade for
The asking price was my hang-up on Roberts. He would be nice to have but I think our prospects could be put to better use at the trade deadline.
We need a solid #2 starter much more than another 2nd baseman.
Re: I think we should trade for
I agree that it's the asking price that's the problem, not Roberts. Roberts gets on base at a great rate and he's a Reyes-type terror on the basepaths.
Lateral Move
If Brian Roberts could play SS or CF then it would probably be worthwhile. Unfortunately we are talking about gutting the farm in an effort to make Mark DeRosa a supersub. Lefthandedness just isnt that important IMHO.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
Last 3 years combined splits
Soriano lost a step?
According to Mike Quade on WSCR radio this morning he believes Soriano has lost a "step or step and half" since his leg injury last year.
And in the back of his mind he's always thinking "to be careful with Soriano" when he's on the bases so he doesn't "
blow something out."
Doesn't sound like much of a leaf off hitter anymore
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
When Soriano returns?
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
I'm just curious... why not Riot? He's swinging it great right now, and he's got a higher career OBP than DeRosa does (536 AB sample size for Riot), and he runs MUCH better.
If Theriot's going to hit, I see no downside to hitting him up there.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
DeRosa's career OBP is not really relevant, is it?
He has a .366 OBP of since the beginning of '06, which would seem much more indicative of his current abilities than his career number of .343.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
he'd probably bat Reed leadoff vs lefties if he does indeed move Soriano down.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
There's as good of a chance of Lou penciling Arizona Phil in the leadoff spot as DeRosa.

A long tradition of winning, huh?
Thanks, Len.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
i want soriano back...
the guy "earned" (not) his leadoff spot last year with a leg he couldnt even run on and now he's coming back from another leg injury and "earned" his leadoff spot back before he can even walk.
guy had more xbase hits than RBIs last year...he's got multiple leg injuries piling up...he's never had a good ob%...he can barely walk right now, yet he's got his leadoff spot.
if soriano wants comfort, give him a teddy bear.
Re: Lou Answers The Leadoff Question, Again
The question on Roberts is not is he an upgrade over DeRo or Theriot (I'm not sure why Theriot thing is a question anyway, unless Roberts is going to play SS or people are suggesting that DeRo or Cedeno be the starting SS), it's is the improvement you get from Roberts worth giving up Cedeno, Gallagher, Marshall and probably others as well? That's our 7th and 8th pitchers, both of whom are cheap and young and will most likely be needed at some point, our only backup SS and possibly our best SS option for what? A few more OBP points than DeRo, probably 30 more stolen bases (the importance of stolen bases has been debated in the past), and the guying doing that mostly from the left side? That's all assuming he'll be healthy and productive, too. To me, that's not worth giving up two good, young pitchers, a shortstop who could be better than our starter, and paying his salary.
Also, there is no question that Soriano typically cannot do what a leadoff hitter needs to do: his career OBP is what, .325? That's the most important stat for a leadoff hitter. Not only that, but the chances of him returning to top of the league base stealing form are low. Soriano would be much more valuable to this team if he would break his mental block on hitting in the 5th or 6th spot. That the Cubs are hurting for other leadoff hitters is accurate, but Theriot has a higher career OBP than Soriano, and so does DeRosa. Cedeno looks like he could vastly improve his OBP this year. If we had another lefty bat to hit in the middle of the order, I'd be thrilled with Fukie as a leadoff hitter.

based on what SF has been doing every other year lately, getting access to the postseason playoffs seems to be what's important. bring on dat short series!
that said, skipping the sudden death 1-game WC would be nice from here on out.
I know what you are saying, but I feel compelled to point out that there's no such thing as luck, curses, etc. The Cubs this year have as good as a chance as the Pirates to move on to the next round. If the Cubs proceed to the next round or not tomorrow, it will not be because of luck, but because one team outlasted the other. When/if the Cubs are lucky enough to make it to the league series, that's where they may find their biggest challenge. The Dodgers have a good, deep pitching staff.
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.
HAGSAG: There are only five advanced instructs squads left, and presently the only "co-op" team operating is the Angels/Cubs.
The league was originally established as a "parallel" league to the AFL (a sort of "junior AFL"), for players too advanced for traditional ("basic") instructs but who were unable to get placed on AFL rosters due to AFL player-limits.
