We were on our way to North Carolina and were just going to stay in Gatlinburg one night. I found this hotel on line and called to make reservations over the phone. I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. It was pretty much what we expected. The room size was nice (we had two queen beds), however the bathroom was VERY tiny. It was a little inconvenient for changing clothes because my 15 year old son was with us and the bathroom was almost too small to dress in. Also, a previous review mentioned the low shower head and fluctuating water temperature. I am 5'8 and thought the shower head was extremely low (maybe for a 5'5 person?). The water pressure is good, but it takes a while to get the temperature right and the hot water is SCALDING hot, so be careful. Other than some super thin towels, I can't complain much. It was as clean as most hotels rooms. We had no problems with cooling off the room as the other reviewer did. We actually liked the AC unit being near the bathroom so it was not blowing directly on us and making a bunch of racket. I would stay there again for the price and for a night or two.

After days of searching for a cheap, family owned motel we chose this one. We had a coupon that made it $39 a night and we were not charged for the 3rd adult staying in the room. The employees were very friendly and gave excellent restaurant reccomendations. The room was a basic motel room with 2 double beds and a small table and chairs. The tv was larger than you normally see in a motel room and appeared to be fairly new. The bathroom and sink area both really needed some attention. The tub had dirt streaks and hair in it. The ceiling in the bathroom was a little mold and the floor needed swept and mopped. There was dirt in the sink and it kind of smelled. The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the parking lot and the rooms next to you. There is no free breakfast here but that really was not a big deal for us as we would rather go to the pancake places anyway. There were alot of people hanging around outside on the balcony but they really seemed like they were just relaxing and trying to enjoy their vacation-most were elderly.
The price is great if you don't mind doing a little cleaning yourself.

This hotel was terrible. We pulled up and i was so disapointed. People were hanging outside the rooms as though it was there front porch.
The room was old,dirty and outdated. The a/c is located next to the bathroom and was to far away to cool the sleeping area properly. the bathroom was moldy and dirty. I had to go the store and buy cleaning supplies before i could give my 2 year old a bath. and even then i made him sit on a towel in the tub.

we had a room with a king bed and a fold out sofa. the king bed was comfortable enough but the bed spread had a large rip in it. the pull out sofa (for my 8 year old) was not made up (we had to do it ourselves) the mattress had a huge (what looked to me like blood stain on it there was no matress pad. I had to lay out towels over the matress before putting the flat sheet (not a fitted one) on top of it. I doubled two flat sheets to make sure her body didnt touch the matress. we were awaken at 5 am with sounds coming from the next room. shuffling and moving around noises. I assumed that the people next to us were moving around

. I found out later that the room next to us was a storage room and that the sounds we heard were probably rats. (this came from a man that was lounging around outside as though he either worked there or lived there???

the only good thing about the place was the location. We stayed 2 nights (we were scheduled for 3 but couldnt find a vacancy at another place until the 3rd night)

yucky, yucky, yucky do not stay here if a clean place is important to you!!

We stayed 6 nights here the second week of July and we were very pleased. We had a King room with a Sofa pull out and it was a decent size room. We loved having a fridge and microwave. The fridge is also a larger "small" fridge so we could fit lots of soda, snacks, etc which was important for us since we had 2 adults and kids - 11, 9, 3, and 7 month old. There was also a lot of storage space by the fridge. The bathroom/vanity area was a bit outdated, but it didn't really matter. More importantly - everything was clean and stayed clean. I know in previous reviews they state problems with cleaning staff. My husband was in a conversation with the hotel owner one afternoon and she said they were replacing the cleaning staff that week becuase they were not happy with them. So that may take care of any previous cleaning issues. We actually had no cleaning problems.

The pool was also well maintained and it was great that the kiddie pool is actually built into the larger pool so my 3 yr old could interact with me and the older kids while we swam. There was a second pool that looked nice too but it wasn't near our room.

Another nice bonus was an on-site washer and dryer.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Lastly, it is an excellent location. It's only a block from the main strip on the Aquarium end. It's far enough away from all that congestion and noise, but still close enough to walk to the strip.

This place is not a new and fancy chain or exclusive individual hotel, but it was one of the 5 cheapest I found (and I looked at almost every one!) and considering the number of hotels to pick from this is a good price. (I saw several for the same price range in Pigeon Fordge, but all had reviews of 2!) But more importantly - it's a decent place to stay. Clean, friendly, pool, fridge, good size room, and great location.
