Cons: The breakfast wasn't very good. The biscuits were hard and eggs were dry. I wish they would have offered water in the breakfast room as well. Other than this everything was perfect. We just ate at the Atrium for breakfast

Pros: Great view of Mount Le Conte. Above, and away from all the activity in Gatlinburg. Very friendly, and helpful staff. Clean, comfortable rooms.The restaurant was very nice; good service, good food. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. And the cookies at the front desk!
Cons: We stayed for a week, most people/families don't, which means that there are a lot of rooms to turn over every day. House keeping has more than they can handle, and on two occasions our room was not cleaned until 5:00 P.M. Check in appears to take a while (that wasn't the case for us), not sure why.

Pros: The hotel was pretty clean. The location to downtown Gatlinburg was fantastic. The continental breakfast was more than the cereal and muffins that you get in other places. The staff was as helpful as they were allowed to be.
Cons: The bathroom was tiny and crowded as was the room. The walls were so thin that we could hear the phone conversation of the man in the next room as well as the female that was on the other end of the phone line. The "Mountain-side View" that we were supposed to have was the employee parking lot and a steep hill with a lot of trash and debris on it. The Kayak website leads you to believe that you can get a Smoking room, but you are not allowed to even smoke on the balconies of these rooms as it is a "No Smoking on the Grounds" property.
Excellent
9.7
Pros: Breakfast was delicious with many options. Staff was great and had toothpaste (which I forgot). Fantastic location. Less than a five minute walk to the aquarium and the strip is one block over with easy access. The hotel is on a very quiet street and there is a really nice sitting area down by the river.
Cons: The only complaints I have are minor. The parking garage has some weird parts to it. It's clearly conformed to the mountain behind the hotel. Also the lamps between the beds didn't work, but the staff probably would have fixed it if I had let them know. Also there were plenty of other lights in the room.
Okay
5.1
Pros: Staff was nice. Walking distance.
Cons: Pool was under construction and the website should have told that. I chose that one because it had an indoor pool and hot tub and pause about $50 more a night since other hotels had seasonal ones that weren't open this time of year.

Pros: You can walk to everything in gatlinburg. It's a perfect place to stay if you don't need a very romantic get away.

Pros: Baymont Inn is a decent location just off the main drag which was nice as it was away from the majority of the noise and nightlife. The room was clean and had a fireplace and a patio. Everything in the room was spacious except for the bathroom. Breakfast was good and they kept it stocked throughout.
Cons: All rooms are accessed from the outside (no internal hallways). You don't have to go into the lobby to gain access to the stairs up to the room. The pool was warm however, it was over chlorinated like most hotel pools. Bathroom was very small and I could tell the place was slowly being updated. I think that the price for this hotel was a lot more than it should have been. This hotel would fit most people's needs its not the best nor the worst.

Pros: Staff was super friendly, breakfast every morning in the lobby was more than expected, and river views from room are amazing. About two blocks from town, shops and dining. There is a trolly right outside hotel if you don't/can't walk a lot. The stream sounds were fantastic!
Cons: When walking into the room for the first time it was damp. We turned the fan in the bathroom on and opened the balcony door for a bit to let it air out. It never really seemed to 'dry out' in the room. That's okay, there was so much to do in and around town, we mostly slept there. You can hear traffic from parkway in the room.
Excellent

Pros: I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Its literally by the water front, the room has an incredible view of the mountains and the local hotels are neat and the town is very tourist friendly, there are local trolleys to help you get around. It's beautiful and full of cute shops, definately worth exploring.
With a stay at River Terrace Resort & Convention Center in Gatlinburg, you'll be a 3-minute walk from Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies and 7 minutes by foot from Gatlinburg SkyLift Park.

Pros: We liked the location. It was within walking distance to almost everything. Loved to restaurant and the outdoor eating by the river. Service was poor but the atmosphere was worth it. Room was clean and spacious. Great view of the mountains. I would return again even though the pool was a disappointment.
Cons: The pool was so dirty that we couldn't even swim in it. My granddaughter threw a swim stick in and we couldn't even find it. At night when the pool lights were shining, you could see bits of white floating all over.

6.5
Pros: We needed extra linen for my mother-in-law. She caked to the front desk for some and am employee arrived with some within 5 minutes of her hanging up.
Cons: Check-in isn't until 4 and check out is at 10. I have checked into a lot of hotels before and they've been busy at times, but the wait to check in here was unbelievable. I think it took about 15-20 minutes to finally get to the desk and walk out with keys. We had the pleasure of leaving just before 10 and noticed the housekeeping didn't have any new linen on their carts. Maybe there is a separate one that comes through but we were under the assumption that the sheets aren't changed after each stay.

Pros: Fact the location was in town and scenic overlooking the Little Pigeon river. Could and did walk to venues around town easily.
Cons: Was Christmas day when we checked in and being the holiday I can understand the strain of maintaining levels of service. were given a room on the 6th floor which ended up having not been cleaned. Walked in to someone else's mess, guess the room had been cleared off the computer so as to be let out again. So we hauled our gear back down to the lobby got another room that worked out fine for our 2 night stay. Couldn't find the TV remote there which was found later under/behind the bed headboard. Before finding called desk about it. Maint. man brought one in less than 4 minutes. Wow! Was nice/pleasant as he programed it to work. Overall visit was good with a few bumps. Enjoy.

Pros: Easily walkable to downtown Gatlinburg and the mountain views were incredible. Didn't spend much time in the room so these pluses made up for the hotels short comings.

Pros: We enjoyed that it was downtown close to all of the attractions and shopping, but it was also had a setting that you could enjoy the sounds and beauty of the mountains. And the staff were extremely nice and helpful every time we had a question for them. They were wonderful would definitely stay again.
Cons: The drive up to the room was very steep, was unaware that there were steps or an easier way to walk back to our room until the last day. Wish when we checked in they could have told us that. But that is really the only complaint I have about our while stay.

Cons: Everything else was nothing I would ever go back to. The staff was more then helpful however the rooms themselves were completely dated with box TV's, hard beds, hideous bathroom interiors and no water pressure. We had a couple problems with a few bugs in our room. One on the ceiling one in my folded hotel towel when I opened it and one on the floor. Needless to say between the uncomfortable bed and bugs we did not sleep at all.

Maintainence man told me if I didn't like it to go to a different pool. Terribly disappointed. Wasted so much money. I'd never use this site again.

Cons: They overbooked and sent us to WildBear Inn, a two star hotel at Pigeon Forge. Before that, they sent us to a better one, which is operated by the same company as WildBear Inn, and took us almost one hour to wait for check-in, but that hotel told us they sent us too the wrong one, since they also overbooked. We paid much more than the price for a two star hotel at that far, but finally we could only go there and just got two free pancakes for they mistake. Who need to pancakes!

Cons: When we got there the woman could not find our room. I booked through kayak which sent us to getaroom.com, the staff at getaroom handled the situation well considering the mistake on someone's part. Either way it took an hour to check in. Then one of my kids got 23 dollars stolen out of his pants. When I reported it the lady (at the hotel) disregarded it saying the maid thought it was a tip....but it makes sense, every maid should take what they want from kids pockets. Really though for the money I just expected decent humans working for them and none were found. Find another hotel its Gatlinburg, there are plenty.

Pros: The resort is pretty and is in a great location for walking to the strip on Gatlinburg. Perfect for us wanting to walk around and not have to venture too far away. For the price I couldn't complain.
Cons: The room wasn't as clean as I hoped. The floor was a little sticky. We also had made reservations for two double beds but only had a single king bed when we got there. I called the front desk about it and they said they were booked, sorry about our luck basically.

Pros: Great Location! Very close to the strip!
Cons: This is an older hotel. Could use some updating, but for the price it's great. I have noticed other comments about the steep hills & walking...so you have to keep in mind that you are in the mountains! :)

Pros: We have stayed here once before. We like the location. Nice View Rooms are large. Good experience both times. WE enjoyed the Karaoke at Drafts bar. We went with a group who stayed at other hotels for a friends 60th birthday.
Cons: Check out time should be later. Check in is 4:00. Check out time should be at least 11:00.

Pros: Brookside Resort has a good location but that is about the extent of what I consider a recommendation. The room was very dated....the sheets were dirty and the bathroom is dark. Requested clean sheets which were delivered promptly. The stream behind the hotel was awesome. This could be a really nice place but it will take a large sum of money for this to happen.

Pros: The room was nice, the bed comfortable, clean room, quiet. Trolley stop in front of motel, had good breakfast room and nice amenities.
Cons: The only problem we had was the microwave, there was something wrong with it and it would burn up anything you put in it in just a few seconds. I reported it to the staff and they said they would take care of it quickly. Had a great stay.

Pros: Loved how rustic and quiet the resort was but still so close to everything in Gatlinburg. The pool was an amazing feature and if we were there during the winter definitely would have used the wood burning fireplace. Loved that the back patio faced the big creek too.
Cons: Only knock on the place was the A/C unit didn't work super well and the bed wasn't the most comfortable I've been on.

Pros: hat I liked about brookside was the location. It was right across the street from flapjacks and walking distance from the strip! Great location without being too congested. I liked the rolling creek right outside of back door it was very nice. I liked that they had free breakfast although it was very basic and minimal, the oatmeal was very dry. Staff was nice, not too friendly at times. I walked in to check out and the front desk guy just ignored me and sat on his phone until I was helped by someone else. They also charged my credit card twice but did refund it immediately.
Cons: I did not like that fact that on their website it has a lot of false advertisment. They said they had high speed Wi-fi, it was so slow and wouldn't load anything we had to disconnect and use data. They also said that they have a state of the arch fitness center.. Far from it. It literally had nothing and was very old and run down. The room needed renovations and mens toilet didn't work. The bench press didn't even have a bar!? Overall it was a quick stay so for 3 days what they offered was enough. Although I think next time we will find something nicer and cleaner and more up to date. Overall it was clean but very outdated. The room looked old and the furniture too. Found a few hairs on the sheets..The sheets would not stay on the bed either! I had to readjust them many times.There was a huge rip in the bed skirt. There were no blankets in the room just the sheets that came on the bed.. The shower head was so low that it would be great for someone who was 4 foot tall. We had to squat to shower and that's not fun for my 6' 2 boyfriend and me being 5'5. There was no DVD player so headed up if you brought DVD s. We had to go buy one to hook up. There as a mini refrigerator and microwave and coffee maker so that was nice.

Cons: False advertising on booking site. I booked a room with a hot tub and fireplace... No hot tub and (although it was late September) the fireplace didn't work due to it being "out of season". Bathroom was super tiny and the tub/shower was very slippery. Creepy-looking people hung-out outside of hotel's laundry mat (which you have to walk through to get to the elevator).

Pros: Ask for the creek side rooms with balconys! Hearing the creek from your room was great. Their indoor pool is what sells this place for me and my family. It's a fun pool, with waterfall and hot tub. You can't beat the value for the location and amenities.

Pros: Very affordable, close to the shopping strip & attractions but a little more of a walk than I expected especially with small kids! I think our kids liked the pool more than they liked the actual vacation itself! I was happy to stay there though!
Cons: The pool wasn't very easy to access at all, our room we were given at check in had not been cleaned up from a prior maintenance job but the front desk took care of us right away and put us in another room. We ended up being by the creek which was really nice.

Pros: The location and the indoor pool were great.
Cons: Our room was very small and smelled like mildew/mold. The hotel is very outdated and not very clean. The Wifi did not work most of the time and the shower water kept going from scalding hot to cold without touching anything. We also were put in a "pet friendly" room, which I would NEVER stay in again. If I had known that part of the hotel was "pet friendly" I would have never booked there. We will never stay at this hotel again.

Pros: The website says the hotel is 2 blocks from the strip but that is still .4 miles. It's a lot further than the website made it seem. We received an earlier morning wake up call both days that we DID NOT request. But the worst was the water temperature in the shower. It would get scalding hot with no notice. I let management know when we checked out but he didn't seem very concerned. Wouldn't stay there again.

7.4
Pros: The rooms were sizeable, the water was hot, the location is great whether you're checking out Gatlinburg's tourist district or catching the trolley to Dollywood. Although we didn't go for a swim, the indoor pool looks amazing and I'm sure it's fun regardless of the season. I did note plenty of young families enjoying it while we were there and the air doesn't overwhelm with chlorine.
Cons: We arrived late at night, after 2am, and there was no one at the check in counter, only a sign saying "be back soon". After sitting in the lobby for more than half an hour whole the security guard stated at me and at his phone, a desk clerk finally arrived to check us in. Parking was limited, but they were accommodating by basically not enforcing any parking rules as long as we were not blocking someone in. They put us in a handicap room, which wasn't a problem in itself, but the bathroom door slides open and shut for ease of access and unfortunately it wasn't well oiled so we weren't able to ever fully open or close the door. I did report the problem, but don't know if it was ever fixed as we were only there 2 nights.
Mediocre

Pros: The location was the center of downtown Gatlinburg. Would have been a great proximity if we had stayed.
Cons: The second you walk in the room, we opted for the poolside option as we were planning to spend time in the pool with our two small children, all you could smell was chlorine, not to mention the room was about 87 degrees when we first walked in. While looking around our room, we found lots of great treasures, old Broken Oreos in the carpet (carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in about a month) , the bathroom was disgusting you had to hover above the toilet, the shower curtain had something streaked down it, looked like makeup maybe?? Who knows. There was brown matter streaked on the wall I could take a guess on what it was. It looked like feces. The tv kept cutting in and out with sound and picture so that was a no go when my 3 year old asked to watch cartoons before bed. We decided to check out the beds to see what they were like since the rest of the room was absolutely disgusting. On one of the blankets there was red lipstick. And on the sheets there were big black hair. In more spot than one. So I'm guessing the sheets hadn't even been changed? Needless to say we grabbed our bags and our two small children and got the heck out of there, we didn't even stay the night. Then the whole trip was spent attempting to get our refund back as we ended up having to spend money on a different hotel for our trip. And then they tried to tell us that we had to pay for the first night even though we didn't stay. We will not be back. Waste of money and time out of our trip.
Okay

Pros: Pool was very nice

Pros: I liked the location, it was nice to be able to park the car and walk to where we wanted to go.
Cons: We got to the hotel around 1:00 Friday afternoon to check in. When we walked in the lady at the counter was on her cell phone, on a personal call, she did not end the call to help us, instead she continued her conversation and helped us after she finished her call. In my opinion that was rude. Then while we were checking in someone called the front desk and requested help with their shower, she told a gentleman to go help them "because they couldn't figure out how to work the shower." Her attitude about that situation was wrong and she should not have spoken so rudely about someone who is paying money to stay at your hotel, especially in front of other guests (being myself).

The beds were so uncomfortable that our backs still hurt from sleeping on them. The breakfast in the morning did not make it with the stay at all.
