Place is small, no frill just basic hotel. However, the room was clean, bedding was nice, decor is ok. Everything worked. Hot water was really hot! Which is great. It looks like they are trying to upgrade things. Would stay again just not for more than 2 nights. No pool.

Can’t wait to stay here again!

It’s a great hotel, short walk into town but in a quieter area than staying right there. The owner was super responsive and always making sure we had what we needed. It’s a simple hotel but met all of our needs and they still are continuously updating and adding more. We come to Gatlinburg decently often for vacations and will definitely stay here again.

The hotel needs gutted and rebuilt

Avoid. This is NOT a 3 star hotel. It is a beat down motor lodge with nasty stained carpet, stained bedding, dead bugs, and a musty smell. Door had gaps in weatherstripping so anything crawling around outside comes in. Sent photos of the disgusting carpet and bedding to hotels dot com, but fighting with property over refund. Hotel offered a different but equally disgusting room. Hotels dot com so far is only offering a quarter of what I paid as one key cash. I didn't stay in the room and ended up with a 3+ hour drive back home in the dark and rain. Trip was ruined.

Our stay in Gatlinburg

We had to wait for someone to show up to check in. We finally checked in. Rooms very basic. Needing a lot of attention especially the bathroom. We stayed 4 nights and requested the room to be made up everyday. It never got done. We had to request clean towels on the second night. The shower was good then the water went really hot. Overall disappointed

I didn't like anything about it but the convenience of the location but the experience was terrible!! The coffee pot still has coffee in it,there was an empty liquor bottle in the dresser,the heat didn't work and we didn't figure that out til 1:30am and we checked the filter and it hadn't been cleaned in months. We contacted the owner she said we could move rooms but the manager on duty just brought us a space heater said this is all I can do all the rooms are dirty,no occupied but dirty!! Why couldn't he clean one so we could have heat???? We left a day early due to it being really cold and they didn't want to provide a source of heat that actually worked. I'm very disappointed in my experience

Disliked: Amenities
For the price, it was not a horrible stay. When we arrived, There wasn’t anyone in the office, however the owner/manager came out of their living space shortly after to greet us. The manager was very friendly. All the rooms are non-smoking however, guests are allowed to smoke right outside there room. And how this lodge is set up, we walked through numerous clouds of smoke to get to our room and the smell follows into the rooms.. Due to there being large gaps in the doors. We would have appreciated a designated smoking area away from the rooms. Entering our room, it was very clean and tidy. The room itself was older and you can see they are doing their best to update the rooms. We didn’t have any towels in our room upon arrival, and staff was quick to get us towels. We stayed for 4 days, we did not get room service any of those days. The hot water was probably the most frustrating thing about our experience. It went from Scolding hot to freezing cold.
