Clean and Noisy

The hotel is updated with a nice presentation and clean rooms. The rooms are fairly small however. The indoor pool area and jacuzzi is very nice and clean as well. The staff was great and the hotel overall was pleasing to the eye, especially for an inexpensive stay at Econo lodge. However, this hotel had to be the noisiest that I have ever stayed in. The road traffic wasn't too bad, but you can hear other guests' every move. The maintenance closet was also behind our room and one night it seemed that the maintenance people were in there all night bumping around. Of course, the hotel would be quieter with the right guests, but you don't have much control over that. Wonderful appearance for the price, wish they would have taken more steps to eliminate some of the noise. Great hotel for someone who stays on the go and doesn't spend much time in the hotel.

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

The Village in Gatlinburg downtown has a nice little, locally owned German cheese shop and deli that is fantastic. You can have a great sandwich and a nice German (or American) brew that goes well with the meal. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but it is right next to the donut friar. When you walk in, take the stairs and it is a cozy little spot.

very friendly, clean, free breakfast

Very nice staff had 1 small glitch, was sent to the wrong room but was worth it, got a free upgrade to a pool view room with 2 person jacuzzi in room with a king bed. Close to Dolly Wood and 2 miles from Walmart lots to do and you can take a tram to Gatlinburg many attractions and shops as well as ober ski resort and mall.

Comedy Barn was a great day out on a rainy night. Also if you enjoy birds check out Parrot Mountain by Dollywood, great place for the family.

Overall, not bad for the money...

We were there just one night, but be sure to get a riverview room because of the noise on the parkway. The parking lot lights didn't bother us but they kept the birds up all night again making a lot of noise. There was a maintenance issue with the toilet in our room not wanting to flush, but other than that our room wasn't too bad. Keep in mind you get what you pay for. The desk price was exactly the same as [...]

Don't go walking looking for something to eat. About the only thing close was a Burger King.
