Very nice to find an old school hotel that uses real keys and real hospitality. I know eventually it will turn into corporate high-rise hotels or whatever, but it was really nice to stay with local people.

Just needs to be updated. I did not like the fact that you could see daylight under the door! Beds were SUPER comfortable though. Bathrooms shower needs updated. I personally think that it should be a law that all bathrooms should have shower wands! I would stay here again though.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
OLDER motel WAY LESS expensive than others in the area. Beds were clean and comfortable. Room needs upkeep/maintenance/repair. Wall paint chipped/cracked. Very small refrig's inside was almost completely block with ice. Sink faucet nozzle filter possibly partly clogged as thin stream only comes out of one side of nozzle. Stairwell light to 2nd floor rooms burned out/not working. Location is very good as only about 2 easy walking blocks to center of main drag in town. Plenty of parking space. Upon checking in - room key was in envelope with name taped to outside of office door (several other people's reservations also). Office was closed. Most other hotels/motels in area were sold out or almost and according to Expedia and I got the last one at this place.

I loved that it was downtown gatlinburg. Easy access to the strip for walking. But the hotel is out dated. The spray painted ceiling tiles to cover the water damage was definitely odd. The plumbing was a nightmare. The beds were comfy enough for a few days. Price was steep for what it was.

The only thing that ruffled my feathers was that they have new location for the office and when you actually use gps it takes you to the old office. Late check ins have no idea that there is another office to get their room key. That was upsetting but it all worked out at the end.
