Candice, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Right behind the strip. Nice, Clean and Cheap stay.
Lloyd R, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was right on the river. I felt safe, as a single traveler. The room was clean. The front desk staff was always friendly. Breakfast area was clean. The location is perfect to be close enough to walk to the strip but just far enough away to have peace and quiet. I spent lot of time on the balcony, listening to the water and the geese would come by for a visit at least twice a day. I’ll definitely be back.
Lisa, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good location and a quiet area but the rooms need remodeling.
angel, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a nice property and I have stayed here before.
Donald, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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!
Amanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great clean place. We stay there every time we go to Gatlinburg.
William, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Tracy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Our stay met all our needs and I would stay again. Rooms older but neat and clean and breakfast limited but price great.
Dale, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Heather, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We liked every single thing
Yunia, 4-night trip

Great deal
brian, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Mike, 1-night trip

My room on the river was Awesome, Clean, and just what I was needing! A peaceful break!
