Affordable and clean with a nice staff. Bear sightings from hotel! Great stay for my family!
Pros:

Although an older hotel it was comfortable. The breakfast could have more variety. I Loved that the balcony overlooked the river.

Cons:

The air conditioner drained right into balcony leaving a puddle so you had to watch every time you went out on balcony to sit. The water from the room above ours would drip from their balcony and splash onto our balcony getting us wet. The carts used for luggage could have been better.

Decent spot for a quick stay if you need something in town.
Pros:

The hotel is in a good location tourist wise. The balcony view is beautiful on the creek.

Cons:

The pool area is right next to the dumpsters and there were stray cats everywhere. The breakfast was not great. Food was cold, watery eggs and the dining area was not clean. The staff was very cold and unwelcoming. One of our beds did not have linens and I was told to wait while he washed & dried some, it was already past 10 pm. The table offered in the kitchen area was so wobbly and unstable we couldn’t even use it during dinner.

Surestay in Gatlinburg is going to be my for "sure stay" :)
Pros:

Everything about it was perfect 🙂 I did not get to eat breakfast but, everything was clean. Pleasant smelled good. No bed bugs!

Cons:

More soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner would have been nice. But I'm sure I could have asked and they would have given to me 🙂

It was a good price so I understood it wasn’t going to be perfect but even so, the price was too much for what it was.
Pros:

Loved the location and breakfast was pretty good.

Cons:

- We put our “room service requested” sign on the door and no one ever came. It was up all day morning to night until bedtime. That was disappointing.

- A couple stains on the bedding, nothing huge and it still looked clean but it was concerning.

- The floor felt very damp when we walked in and turned our feet black.

- The pool was okay, kind of dirty but it’s outside so we understood. Smaller than originally thought.

- Our balcony light did not work so we had to sit in the dark if we wanted to be on it after child’s bedtime.

- I felt the photos looked a whole lot better than the actual room itself.
