Don’t plan on coming back.
Pros:

The location was good, not in town but close enough to walk to town

Cons:

The room that was reserved was not what we got. A lot of construction going on near our room. There seemed to be a lot of unsavory people hanging around. Someone was sleeping in walkway. The room we were given had a half inch gap by side of door and a one inch gap at the bottom. Exterior could have been cleaner.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Worst place I've ever seen in 65 years. Trashy people live there. Man sitting outside office drinking beer. Broke down cars in parking lot. Broken windows with plastic on them. Room stunk so bad. Refused to stay there. Would not return my money. Absolutely a shit hole.

It was amazing good value for what you get
Pros:

Despite how the exterior looks, the interior was amazing, clean and nice, the price was amazing for what you get!

Cons:

I do feel that the pool could’ve been netted out more but otherwise the pool was clean, also pets are allowed there so expect to smell pet urine outside your room, I did watch people’s dogs peeing on the wall’s exterior but that isn’t the fault of the motel but the fault of bad pet owners

What a great holiday weekend getaway!
Pros:

This is our very favorite place to stay when trying to be located near downtown Gatlinburg….and not break the bank! We love…love…love this pool and the way it is positioned right above the creek providing soft and peaceful sounds of the water!

Cons:

It was a holiday weekend so it was more expensive than usual.

Pros:

Staff was exceptionally helpful as I forgot my wallet in Florida with my drivers license to check in. The receptionist was able to help us with that and was so kind about the whole ordeal….i can’t thank her enough! Walking distance to the strip with a trolley stop for non walkers. Price is affordable!

Good for the price, could be better
Pros:

The room was clean and had a TV we could use to watch our shows on while staying. Staff was nice, and we had fresh towels daily.

Cons:

Our room was next to rooms under construction, our toilet was wobbling and not mounted. Contractors were going in and out outside our room during the day.
