Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
I've been staying in Gatlinburg since the 1990's and have tried dozens of places. My previous stay here was much more pleasing. The room quality and comfort was decent for sure. But staffing was spotty and non-existent after 6 PM or so and the property was very dark for quite some time before the lights came on. There was a sizable gap between the door and the floor and a lot of leaves blew in while I was in town. Certainly nothing offensive but there are so many places in Gatlinburg to choose from that quite frankly, offer a more satisfying experience. I really do like the location because it's quiet and yet very close to the center of town.

Not fancy, inexpensive, safe. Close walk

This was a brief get away for 1 night in Gatlinburg. I loved how close it was to the main strip, free parking, and a in room coffee maker. It served it's purpose of having a place to lay our head for 1 night. It's not fancy, and definitely dated, but for $100 it is good! Check in was the fastest I've ever had! Would definitely stay there again

Nobody was ever at front desk. Room was filthy. Didn’t have a remote to the tv and took a day before I finally got ahold of someone to bring the remote. Bathroom was awful. Door was falling apart. Bath tub drain didn’t have a stopper and the shower handle was broke. Absolutely no water pressure.

Still using metal keys. No telling how many keys are out there. Office is closed like 5 pm to 9 am. Any problems your on your own. No one answering room phone ; least they could do is have an answering service pickup. Photos not of this office area!!! If you arrive late your key is in envelope taped to door. I thought this was a tourist motel but there are a lot of local living there full time. I feel this Property is totally misrepresented!!!! UNSAFE!!!!

We just stayed 1 night. Just to sleep. We left a day early for our trip. The hotel we had booked didnt have any rooms for our day early. The room and especially the bathroom was dirty. The heater/ air conditioner sounded like a freight train. It woke us up throughout the night. We used to stay here all the time a few years ago. It isnt clean now and definitely needs updated. The 2 pools outside are very dirty. Im sure they would attract bugs and bacteria.

Excellent cheap hotel for Gatlinburg strip walking

Stayed for 2 nights to walk around Gatlinburg. Absolutely no issues with parking or walking to the strip. The check-in/check-out clerk was very nice. For $70 a night after taxes, fees, and whatever else it was well worth it.

I wouldn’t stay here again. I arrived later than expected and my key was taped to the window of the office with my name on it. The bath tub looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. The best thing about the room was that the bed was fairly comfortable. It was one roll of toilet paper in the room and that was half way gone when we arrived and there was no number to dial to get more so we went to the store for toilet paper. It just wasn’t the best choice of place to stay
