Belle Aire Motel

Not what I expected. Check in required us drive 15 min to another facility. No one told us this ahead of time. Clerk seemed bothered when we called to see how we could get our key. Room didn't look like listing. Furniture didn't match. Linens were thin. Expected a large "deep soaking tub", we had a shower that had burns or dents in basin. Desperately needs updating. Location was great! Loved the historic nature loop road by hotel. Also a nice park and great pancake house in walking distance. Pool filled in with dirt. Trash all around parking area. Limited lighting. Room wasn't clean. Found someone's clothes still in drawers. Dust and grime on door surfaces, baseboards. Linens were clean. Couldn't use microwave unless you relocated it first because there wasn't an electric outlet within the cords reach. I was not expecting a luxury room, just a clean, functional room with our arrival planned since we had a reservation.

Plentiful shopping, room mediocre, no hot water

The property location and parking was convenient, the tub was clogged. A little outdated and the cops showed up because of a disu

The pool was filled in with dirt. Nobody was in the office for us to check in, we had to call a number.

First room smelled weird and the carpet and bed were damp. Toilet would flush so we were finally moved. The second room was also damp and was NASTY. The lamp was molded. Ended up checking out within an hour of checking in. Was charged for the whole night 🙄

Not the cleanest motel but it gets the job done for a night if it’s just you.

The property is located close to downtown. Great for walking to if you want a close place. Don’t expect amenities or a luxurious stay. But it is clean and offers you a bed and shower. The price is great. I will always recommend it.

It’s a great little property just don’t expect to find a lot of luxury. It’s cute and quaint. Offers a bed and shower that’s it. You are close to downtown and for the price it’s a great place to stay. The staff is always friendly and wonderful each time I stay here.

There were 2 beds and the ac worked well. Smelled a little funny but it’s old. For the money, it’s fine for guys. Doubt I’d include the wife and kid on a stay here.

Run down. Weed smell dominating room and hotel. Waited 20 minutes for someone to check us in. Empty lobby.

it could stand to be cleaned up in front of the rooms. there were old cigarette butts and dead plants in front of the rooms.

You’re only staying here for its proximity to the strip. Everything about this place sucks. The bathtub still had hair in it, the room stank, tons of broken furniture. The only positive is that the bed was comfy.

Not was horrible dirty no pool no breakfast would never stay there again ever

It took forever to get checked in

Overall, I think this place could be an absolute gem without too much money. It's in a TERRIFIC location - close to the parkway, but far enough away to feel peaceful. It's on the end easiest to getting into the park. There is food a short walk away.
It could have a cute/groovy retro vibe, but it looks like no one has cared about it in so long, but they just let it limp along.
First, there was no one attending in the lobby - it was locked and empty. There was a sign with a number to call for "check in or emergencies." That said, it was very easy to check in and get a code for the door. But it's weird to know there is no one on site. I've never experienced that before, and I didn't love it (althought nothing bad happened). I think whover is managing it is doing so with multiple properties, and in this economy, I think they are making the right choice to save money.
BUT-with some interior choices like paint and artwork, this place could be seen as more cool/retro and "nice" than it is. The photos in the ad are obviously of the nicest, best room, but our was much more drab. Small things: Our faucet needed a new aerator and the door of the bathroom was pretty beat up. Weed smell. Oldl wood paneling was in great shape, but could have been upgraded with a color wash or paint. Overall, it felt drab, tired, and ignored in there, which gives you a "stale" feel while you're there. Exterior maint. a must.
Plus: large minifridge, microwave, TV, Internet -all good. It could be amazing.

We chose not to stay. There were many safety concerns and the room had a strong smell of mildew.

Just very quiet peaceful clean and close to downtown gatlinburg

Very clean and friendly and it was in a nice quiet area

I had to call a number to check in. It rang for close to 5 minutes before someone finally picked up. After a 12 hour drive i just wanted to get into my room.

The door was taped. Door was completely broken. Room smelled like there was mold. Floor was not vacuumed. The bed was hard as a rock.
Desk clerk was even in the office when we arrived. You had to call a number to check in. The clerk acted like I was the problem when I didn’t want to give my credit card for there $1 holding fee. Very sketchy. You could barely understand what he was saying. The lobby what you could see looked like a dump. Multiple missing light bulbs. 4 bags of trash just setting behind the counter. The only marking lot had no light. More holes in the parking lot than Swiss cheese. It had rained so our feet were soaked because you couldn’t tell where there was water an not. Because the parking lot was not lit.
We had to get another hotel because of how gross this hotel was. Will not ever return.
