Girls Birthday Trip

I booked two rooms for me, my two daughters, daughter in law and a friend. A birthday trip for me and my two daughters. Great location. Loved balcony overseeing the river. Was able to see my first bear. Food area was just enough to get coffee and a little breakfast. Accommodations were good - clean and comfy. Easy access to Smokey Mountains. Also close to Pigeon Forge (Dolly Pardon Stampede) and Asheville where we visited Biltmore Estate. Will definitely stay here again.

Our stay was a wonderful one and we will definitely be back. Access to downtown was great, you just take the road by Ober Gatlinburg and it is the next block down. The creek behind was beautiful, and if you are in the pool, you have a beautiful view as well! The motel is not new and that’s the only reason for the 4 stars, as I would not want someone to expect a 5 star stay. My only complaint would be no counter space in the bathroom, but that’s just my personal preference. The staff was OUTSTANDING and made the stay that much better. Definitely worth the price for a stay in Gatlinburg!

This was a very nice Econo Lodge. It did appear that our front door may have needed to be repaired from an earlier incident otherwise we felt safe and it was a quiet place. The balcony and the area around the river was great. We didnt get a chance to use the pool but it appeared to be in need of an update. I would stay here again!

Never again

Stayed in room 106. My husband woke up with bites on his legs which appear to be from bed bugs or fleas. The room was dingy and stinky. I wish I would have read more reviews before booking as it appears others guests experienced issues with bed bugs recently.

Property is older and hasn't been updated in a good while. Ac units take a long time to cool (but it was 95 outside and we checked in early evening). Loved the balcony overlooking the river. Good location, it is outside of the super busy tourist traffic.

Great but needs some work

Great location with balcony overlooking the river, with sounds of the rapids. Large room, comfortable bed, and good AC. Nice to have micro and fridge. Bathroom has mold in places, rust on light fixture and shower rod, and only one towel bar.
