My Experience

10 out of 10! Highly Recommend! 😊Self Service Check In/Out was smooth. Phone Number avaliable to call/text about any questions and concerns, very communicative and reliable. In the heart of Downtown, walking distance. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the Bathroom design (Unable to load Pictures. Sorry)! Spoke with the Owner who is really sweet, on Check Out day. He stated the Pool Renovations should be completed by Summer, along with other upcoming Lodge features. Will definitely book again in the Future! 👌

Gem In The ROUGH

This was a new place for me to stay this year. Apprehensive upon Arrival in the early AM(DARK).. NOT insecure but deserted looking. Exterior Needs some TLC...Please Cover OLD POOL.. But was VERY Happy to be accommodated with getting into my Room much earlier than the advertised 300PM. The Room was GREAT Very Comfortable, Surprising the Remodeling Job, Big Room, Great Bathroom and Bathroom amenities. Lighting Very good. and electrical outlets with USB.. Very Friendly and Helpful Gen Manager Rick(attentive to individual needs) Not on site all the time but on line Email and Text Check-In and Out was Awesome. And Very Important GREAT RATE... Much Lower than expected and Great view going up the side of the Mountains from Front near OBER INCLINE TRAM.. Very near the Heart of Gatlinburg Action, Convention Center, Lots of great Food and entertainment on Ski Mountain Dr. Amazingly Quiet except very early morning Gatlinburg Garbage Pickup. If an older motel and grounds doesn't scare you, Give it a try.. I will be back. Thanks tried to upload a photo but couldn't get it to work..

Over all great!!!

The place was prefect for my family of 7. We had everything we needed, and it was very comfortable. I especially liked the shower! The room wasn’t super clean it was just dusty, but the beds seemed to be clean. The floors were dirty, and there was dust kind of everywhere, but listen, we will 100% stay here again. My kids were impressed, and the beds were comfortable. They are already asking to go go back!

The room was just ok. The bathroom door would not shut. We didn't have enough towels for 4 people staying in the room, which I included upon booking. Room did not match listing picture. A/c didn't have a filter in it and was nasty. The coffee maker had mold in it. No attendant on site. Outside did not match listing pictures looked very run down.

The room was newly renovated, spacious and clean with micro fridge and microwave which was nice. The exterior bldg and grounds were in rough shape. Construction crews were renovating other rooms. Hopefully they will improve the exterior too. The location is great and walking distance to downtown area and tram.
