The building was older but very clean and quiet. The little river running through the back was relaxing. The trolly pick up spot was only about a block away which made getting to the main area easy and convenient.

Everything was great about the place except for in the room the majority of the outlets available to plug in to would not hold a plug. Very loose inside the outlets. Kind of frustrating. All in all a good place to stay.

The workers were so nice! However, when we checked in, our room had a weird smell and the lamp shades were stained. That night we went to take a shower and there was no hot water. We called the front desk and they told us to let it run. I kid you not, after 25 minutes of just letting the water run it FINALLY got hot! Also, we could not stay connected to the WiFi. It kept dropping. Honestly the rooms should be cheaper!

The river and updated rooms were nice. There was a smell that I saw on reviews before going and I did see one water bug next to this shower this morning. The room itself seemed pretty clean other than that. The laminate floors are way better than older carpet. Balcony was nice, but smoking cigarettes is not allowed on it which would have been nice to do on our ground level balcony instead of having to walk outside of the hotel to smoke. Overall was a nice 3-star hotel for Gatlinburg. Convenience was great!

Great little Motel by the Mountains. I think they were in a period of renovations, as our closet wasn't painted and finished, but very nice and convenient.
