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.

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!
