This was a very nice Econo Lodge. It did appear that our front door may have needed to be repaired from an earlier incident otherwise we felt safe and it was a quiet place. The balcony and the area around the river was great. We didnt get a chance to use the pool but it appeared to be in need of an update. I would stay here again!

Favorite part was the room overlooked the river with a patio to sit outside and enjoy the view. The room was very clean but could tell they were in the process of repainting.

Our stay was a wonderful one and we will definitely be back. Access to downtown was great, you just take the road by Ober Gatlinburg and it is the next block down. The creek behind was beautiful, and if you are in the pool, you have a beautiful view as well! The motel is not new and that’s the only reason for the 4 stars, as I would not want someone to expect a 5 star stay. My only complaint would be no counter space in the bathroom, but that’s just my personal preference. The staff was OUTSTANDING and made the stay that much better. Definitely worth the price for a stay in Gatlinburg!

Property is older and hasn't been updated in a good while. Ac units take a long time to cool (but it was 95 outside and we checked in early evening). Loved the balcony overlooking the river. Good location, it is outside of the super busy tourist traffic.
