This used to be my favorite place to stay until they stuck me on the ground floor of the parking garage. Surrounded by cars, no view, and a back door that opens to a cement wall with a fence. The laminate floor is on a cement pad so it’s cold and cracks when you walk on it. The ceiling is a drop tile ceiling. I’m certain these rooms were storage or utility rooms at one time. Not pleased that I’ve paid $100 a night for this hole. Pics attached are the “view”
Out the doors. Receptionist was less than friendly and sent me to third floor room even though I specified first floor in my reservation. I pointed this out and she assigned me this gem. Please treat your customers (especially repeat customers) better than this. I’ll not be returning for awhile. There are many other choices in Gburg.
I could hear the toilet flushing from the people upstairs through the wall, constantly. Garbage dumpster located outside my window, the truck came every day around 4am, it was extremely loud. Room was old and not clean. No lock latch on the door, so I couldn’t lock the door, the cleaning people just came in when they wanted to with little to no warning. Constant bathroom faucets leaking. Worst hotel I have stayed in, will not stay at another one.
Nice family stay. The only problem I accidentally forgot to add a day. So went back to edit hotel.com wouldn’t edit my stay called customer service they wouldn’t edit my stay I had to book through the hotel for double the price. I was already book for 5 days at Econo Lodge and I admit it was my mistake on dates. But I feel Hotels.com.com could have helped me out or hotel. Highly disappointed. The interesting thing is we had a family staying they that was booking 4 room for 6 days each!!!! Guess money more important than customer satisfaction
We always stay at econo lodgeif Regan Ed in Gatlinburg it is convenient to all the shops and restaurants. It was beautiful weather and we got snow for two two days but never stopped us. This 5th year of staying here and never a disappointment
This was a perfect location for us to walk into downtown Gatlinburg and enjoy everything. It was a perfect sized room for 2 and we will be staying here again

Great location
We got a room in a different building than we usually stay in. It was ok. Clean. But beds were so uncomfortable we couldn’t sleep a full night. People yelling up and down halls. And could hear everything the people next door said through the walls. I do like how close it is to everything.
We stay here almost every time we come to town. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything. About one block off the main drag so parking is easy and no street noise

Horrible customer service, horrible room
We asked for a room in the main building, clerk said they didnt have any available but yet there wss hardly if at all any rooms occupied and the parking lot was empty at night and during the day.
We asked for a room in the main building because there was constant noise from the side of the building, people banging on crap, dump truck or some kind of loud banging noise at 5:30 in the morning. Neighbors were constantly yelling and screaming in their room and on the balcony all hours of the night. The front desk said Sorry, nothing available. Poor poor customer service, bad guest experience. This place seems to have gone down hill. Oh the hot water wasnt working either, it would go on and off!
The hotel was very convenient for walking to all the shops and attractions. There was never a need to drive the car. The bed was comfortable and the cost was very affordable.
I liked the spaciousness of the room, it was clean and it was a convenient walk to area shopping and dining. The things I disliked was the ice machines didn't work and the bed was hard.
