Beds were extremely uncomfortable and there were bed bugs. When we told staff they just asked which room didn’t offer an apology at all. Overall would not recommend staying at this hotel

An older property that has been renovated. Easy walking distance to all the shops etc. along the Gatlinburg TN strip. Not Five Stars - but if you just want a place to sleep, shower, and go have fun it works. Front desk was accommodating.

Wonderful view. Close to everything Gatlinburg.
Our room was spacious and clean. Bathroom could use a little update but the room appears recently renovated. Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. Easily walk to most attractions and restaurants.

Excellent location with balcony overlooking the creek. Far enough away from the strip to not be right in the action but go a few blocks and there you are. Check in was friendly and quick. Free breakfast was also good, they offer waffles and quick grab and go items, my grandson had the waffle and said it was delicious! My only complaint was that the bathroom could really use some attention, there was dirt in the tub and in the corners. The rest of the room was clean and bug free. We would stay here again in the future.

The sidewalk next to the river had a sign for employee only access that seemed odd. The parking lot was very small and having to park along the edge of the building left the rear of my truck in the road with two other trucks.

Comfortable Stay with a great location.
I stayed at the Econo Lodge Inn just a couple of days ago and had a good experience overall. The hotel is conveniently located close to Gatlinburg downtown, which made it easy to explore the area without having to drive far. The highlight was definitely the beautiful lake view, adding a peaceful touch to the stay. The bedding was comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well, keeping the room cool and pleasant. The hotel is a bit older, but it’s well-maintained and clean. The service was great; the staff was friendly and quick to accommodate my request for an extended checkout. Breakfast was simple but a nice addition to the stay. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel close to downtown Gatlinburg with a nice lake view and decent amenities, Econo Lodge Inn is a solid choice.

This travel lodge is showing its age and needs a little makeover. But the coffee was really good, we loved our balcony over the river and triple rested well. Staff was friendly and hospitable!

Good for a night.
This motel is an older motel that has had some updates. It was clean, but there was some mold stains around the tub area, and the bathroom floor needs replaced. But let me stress, for the price it was ok for one night. It is conveniently located close to town.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was very relaxing having a patio with a view of the river out back. We started most mornings sitting out there to enjoy the sounds. We liked that it was equal parts quiet and walkable to downtown. Would definitely stay again!
