My husband, and a couple of our friends decided to take a overnight trip to the Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge Area. I use trip rewards, and at last minute notice this was the only place available for our size group. We did not get to check in until late the 15th. I was not impressed with this place at all. The carpets definately need to be replaced. The bathroom was very small, and not suitable for even dressing in. The sink and mirror sat seperately then actually in the bathroom. The beds also need to be replaced. In the middle of the bed was a sunken place. For what we payed for the room, it should of been in a lot better shape. I will not consider staying at this Days Inn ever again!

We stayed at this motel Sept. 6 and 7. I wish we had checked these website reviews ahead of time. We were "walk-ins" , choosing the motel because of its location. The location is very good, right at the edge of the national park and at the same time easy walking to town shops and restaurants. The motel was standard, but not well-maintained, and had a generally soiled look about it, both inside the rooms and along the outside of the building. The only area that seemed to be kept up was the lobby area. Our room was in a very dingy corner -- when we asked to change, this was not allowed. The walls and carpet were stained, there were no chairs (unless you brought in the very grubby resin chair off the balcony), no night table or lamp on one side of the bed, and the air conditioner was very loud when it came on (ours did work). Also, all the appliances in the room were plugged into an alligator extension on one outlet,probably a fire violation. I think our maid was probably better than most, as we did not have the problems with undone cleaning other guests complained of -- the things that were substandard were long-term maintenance things, not that day's cleaning. I would not say this motel was disgusting, but it did appear to be managed with low standards and little attention to detail.

I wish I had read this site before I booked my room. The hotel was uninhabitable! The room was filthy, the carpets were stained, the air conditioning unit was broken and written on with marker, the bathroom was disgusting, the toilet was dirty, the tub was stained and leaking, the sink was stained and there were hairs on the floors.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. The manager was impossible to deal with. I cancelled my reservation and went somewhere else. The manager insisted that I pay for the first night of my reservation, regardless of the condition of the room. It took 4 days to get my money back. The hassel nearly ruined my trip.
Save yourself and stay somewhere else!!! Anywhere else in town would be better than here!

We got to Gatlinburg around 7pm,tired from a long days work and drive, hungry as well. We like to eat at Calhouns, and this hotel was close. I went inside, inquired as to the rates which was 78.00 plus tax. It looked nice, outside is pretty, lobby didnt show anything I would be worried about. Paid money, went to park, dropped off luggage in room-first mistake was not looking at room real good. Went to eat and sightsee and got back to room around 1030-1100pm. NO deadbolt, NO air that you could feel unless you were sitting right on top of the unit-which by the way had in large permanent marker "FIX ME", and no knob to adjust the air anyway as we soon found out. Bathroom was tiny, with silverfish and waterbugs/roaches. No outlet covers on receptacles or lightswitches. Wallpaper peeling off wall behind bed(mold?), sheets torn, with greasy shoe prints on them. Bed is nothing more than plywood and eggcrate if that. Finaaly called maintenence. Maintenance's reply is that the unit is working due to seeing the water gushing out of the back running down the sidewalk, and that the room is too big for the unit. Our reply is that this is not our problem, and we want either our money back or a different room. We also explained that the door had no deadbolt and we were told if he could find a part then he could maybe fix it tonight. He went to explain this to the front desk, who called us back to explain that he no longer had "a room like ours" anymore and that they have us another one. At this point it is getting near mindnight and we pack up, go downstairs and get new room. It wasnt much better,just had air and that is about it! but at that point we took it, slept as best as we could and left at first light. Rude desk clerk so I didnt even speak a word, just gave back keys and hope that I never have to stay there ever! I have sent Days Inn an email voicing my displeasure adn probably the Chamber of Commerce, should also contact the Fire Marshall with all the code violations as well.
