First time ever even making a review because it's the review I needed but didn't get ahead of time. We had to take freezing cold showers or scalding hot ones for our 3 days stay. I would let the water run in the shower for 15 minutes before getting in and it would never warm up. The "maintenance man" said it was because we were on the end and it takes a while. Fifteen minutes and no warm water is ridiculous. They never cleaned our room in 3 nights. We had to go to the front and ask for toilet paper. Our room was also charged to our card the day before, despite booking for "pay at location." Worst experience ever. Felt like at least a partial refund is warranted.

The Wander is now our go-to spot to stay when coming to TN. The staff was incredibly friendly, on top of anything we needed. You can’t beat the location, honestly, it’s right by so much and a short walk to the rest! Our favorite pizza place and Starbucks are just a 2-3 min walk from here. Now listen, the pool didn’t seem heated but was ok enough to swim in, the jacuzzi was down, there are some dated features and minor fixes that need done to the rooms, but overall for the location and price I couldn’t be happier with our stay!

Room was comfortable, but the hotel has definitely gone under renovations recently, there was water heard dripping in the wall, wall paper peeling, and cockroaches seen in the bathroom. We remained at the room, bought a small can of bug spray and sprayed the baseboards and didn't see another bug during our whole trip of 4 days.

This hotel is the best. It is in walking distance to a lot and is on the strip. It is pet friendly and a good cost per night. The front office staff is awesome. Will definitely stay here again.

I recently stayed at The Wander Hotel in Gatlinburg and had an overall positive experience. The location is fantastic—close to the main strip but still quiet enough to relax after a busy day exploring the area. It’s a great base for visiting the Smoky Mountains or enjoying the attractions downtown. The room was clean and modern, and I appreciated having a king-size bed. However, one downside was that the fitted sheet didn’t actually fit the mattress—it kept slipping off during the night, which was a bit frustrating. A small detail, but one that definitely affected comfort. Other than that, everything else was smooth. Staff were friendly, check-in was easy, and the atmosphere was laid-back. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and stylish stay in Gatlinburg—just maybe bring your own sheets if you're picky about bedding!

The bed were comfortable the bathrooms were clean the refrigerator could’ve been a little colder. The staff was friendly. Breakfast was good, especially the girl who checked us in on Wednesday and checked us out on Saturday and every time she seen us asked us what we wanted and even called us by name. She had a very good personality.
