The location is perfect to walk around downtown or make a quick trip into Pigeon Forge for more activities. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the rooms and the upkeep of the facility have gone considerably downhill in the last couple of years. There was a half drunk alcoholic beverage still in our fridge when we checked into our room, and the floors and bed frame were filthy.

Great location

On the positives, the location is excellent for the main drag in Gatlinburg. The guy on reception was very helpful and friendly. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was fine. On the downside, the property is very tired and in need of an upgrade.

Within walking to downtown Gatlinburg. Beautiful property by mountain stream. Fantastic balcony with fabulous deck chairs! Quaint office with friendly, helpful staff. This was our 3rd stay in 4 years at this wonderful place! Room was huge! Trolly stop in front of office. Short walk to the village. Have stayed at 12 other properties in last 20 years and this is our favorite!! Pricing is great!!

The location of this property is very convenient for walking to downtown and for traveling to the smoky mountains in minutes by car. The hotel rooms itself are in fair condition, nothing extravagant and have small issues like our toilet not being sturdy and the patio door not staying closed unless locked. The room has the bare essentials which is okay for the price you pay. Would stay again if traveling to gatlinburg or the national park on a budget. Thanks

The motel is located within walking distance to the Pancake Pantry. My wife and I stayed in room 234 and it appeared to have been recently redone. The price is right if booked early and via one of the usual booking services.
