Never AGAIN
Pros:

It was close to downtown.

Cons:

The door had a crack in it 2 inches wide. There were people staying in the room next to us that we could here talking loud and babies crying all hours of the night the walls are paper thin, they either hung out by the door outside or screamed on the inside. I spoke with the lady at the desk and she said she would handle it but they continued to be loud. We checked out one day early because of this. The bed was also hard as a rock.

Great little motel, on the peaceful outskirts of busy and touristy Gatlinburg
Pros:

I'm so glad I chose to stay in this motel during my trip through the Great Smoky Mountains. Whilst located conveniently in the commercial hub of Gatlinburg, it is on the peaceful edge of this busy, touristy and sometimes quite loud town. While a short ten-minute walk does get you into the centre of the action, I appreciated its quiet location and chilled vibe. The room was clean and spacious, and had everything I needed for a good self-catered stay - microwave, fridge and coffee in the reception.
