I've stayed at many hotels and motels in Gatlinburg and this place was bad. To start, you pull up to the hotel, check in, and are given a map and told to drive to the location marked on the map. Drive down the road, turn up the hill and try to find a place to park. The correct building has a small sign that says something like"Hilltop". A crowd of people were wandering the parking lot also trying to find the right building and their room. Cleaning crew advised us that elevator wasn't working. The room was pretty dated, looked neglected and furnishings were severely used. The shower curtain was barely hanging on. The towels were super rough. The back door handle had a large screw holding the handle on and it looked like the upper locks were pulled out of the wall. Balcony area was covered in leaves and also dirty. An old hog wire fence and post are laying on the ground 4 feet way. Vending is on the 2nd floor, machine wouldn't accept $5 bills, found change and machine dispensed wrong item. It is pet friendly but dogs barked until late, some were on the balconies barking at approaching guests. Carpet had been used as a pet toilet and hallway smelled. Continental breakfast was off property at the lobby. Just an overall rough place. Dirty and worn down, inside and out. I would not be comfortable with my wife or daughter staying here alone. Definitely better places to stay for $138/night.

Awful. Absolutely disgusting room. I didn't even stay because of how dirty the room was. Upon checking into the room, it stunk like moldy air conditioning. It had clearly not been vacuumed or mopped because there were muddy spots and dog food on the floor. There were dead bugs along the floorboards, and hair on all of the sheets. You could lift up the sheets and see dog hair and human hair, which indicates that the sheets had not even been changed. We complained, and we're assured that the room would be cleaned right away. We came back in an hour, and no one had been by. We checked out because it was so disgusting. Absolutely zero Stars, avoid this place like the plague.

Got pictures of the two rooms we were placed in, but they hardly do this mess justice. Absolutely atrocious. Floors torn up, stuff hanging off the walls, bugs everywhere, mold growing in the lampshades, curtains falling off. One room the receptacle plate was missing, lets hope no ones children get shocked/electrocuted. Fireplace did not work. Lights outside of bathroom didn't work. Room 134 the door wouldnt even shut fully, comforters were stained and disgusting, smoke detectors were falling off the wall. Room 240 was trashed and had wet towels on the bed when we were given keys. When addressed, staff was rude. We definitely feel completely robbed, and will not recommend this place.The only remotely alright thing about this hotel, was the location. Definitely expected A LOT more from a Quality Inn. My wife or I would love to speak about experience with someone, but we were told the manager wouldn't be around, and the number given to us was bad. Driving cross country to have this stain our vacation right away was definitely a huge let down. 0/10
One of over 10-15 that had to be thrown out before my wife would sleep in here.
This is not nearly a good enough picture, I asked my wife too and she only got the one bed, the other was filthy and still had a wet towel on it, and an overflowing trashcan
More bugs beneath the safe, all over the ac unit, and curtains.

This was my fourth time staying there and I was very disappointed when I went to breakfast to find out the elevators were not working and have not worked in 10 months therefore you have to walk all the way out to the main strip down two blocks to get to breakfast and up that hill coming back, the staff seemed unconcerned that people with disabilities or wheelchairs would have a problem going up that hill and back and no way to cut through. Needless to say because of that reason I will not be staying there next time I visit

My wife and I will never stay at The Quality Inn Creak Side in Gatlinburg, TN again! I usually don't fill out these surveys but my 7 day stay at the Quality Inn was horribile. The main reason for picking this hotel was they had an elevator. When I got there I found out that both elevators have been out of operation for months. My wife has a disability in witch makes it very difficult for her to walk up steps. The 1st floor of the Inn is above the parking garage. The best they could do for us was a room above the parking garage witch required my wife to painfully negotiat a staircass. Once we got in the room we notice that the ceiling was falling down. The entrance door had such a huge gap you could see daylight through it. The door to the balcony was so hard to open and close. Once we did get the door open we were greated by spider webs across the door jam. There were bugs on the wall next to the fireplace. The shower curtain had what appeared to be mold along the bottom section and the list goes on. It was so disgusting! The worst hotel room I had ever seen. I complained to the manager and after some debate he put us in another room on the same floor. At first glance the room appeared to be better. They had just cleaned it and the floor was still a little wet. It turned out this much better then the last. Here's a list of issues. The microwave didn't work, Fire place didn't work, Room heater didn't work, Light next to my bed, Shower didn't drain, Mold on the shower curtain
Bugs in the light fixture.

Never again!

I don't know where to start. The room wasn't ready when we got there at 3. We had to wait for an hour to get in, then the room was not what we reserved. I reserved a mountain view room, that had a couch and a table to st at to eat. What we got was a very dirty room with no couch and no table. The picture that was on your website is definitely not what i got. I would have left but i reserved with the no refund option. I will never stay at any Quality Inn ever again. I thought when we booked through your site that you would make sure if the rooms were acceptable.
