Staff was great, room looked to be recently remodeled and had basic amenities. Best part was the food across the street and a beautiful balcony overlooking a peaceful stream. 10/10 for the price and location!
Ariel, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Sleepy Bear is a great little motel off the parkway in Gatlinburg. Everyone was so friendly, you could get a fresh, hot breakfast, and they'd keep the pool open for a late night swim. It's in a great location, near everything, and you can't beat the rate. The rooms were nice, clean, and had nice toiletries and plenty of towels. Would stay again!

It was quite. The room was clean and the staff was great and friendly. My favorite part was sitting on the balcony listening to and watching the creek. So peaceful, just needed a rocking chair

Our room was clean and had your basic necessities. Beds were very hard and I would bring your own pillow. We stayed in a 2 queen room and I would say it has enough
angela, 4-night trip

Ohh we love our room with scenery. The room was clean and warm. We loved morning breakfast specially made for us as we are vegetarian. Ample amount of parking spaces were available and we used Citi bus which was free and to and fro from hotel to downtown.
