Throw back to the 1970s which was ok. A little smell when you first enter room but it quickly went away. I think it was like a wood smell since there is paneling on the walls. A little dusty but overall a comfortable and clean stay. Would stay here again. Very convenient to all of the activities and stores. Didn’t need to move car until we left.
The breakfast was very good. The only negative I had was they had fox news on in the breakfast area. Local news or weather channel would be better. I don't like to watch anxiety producing shows while eating.
The Inn is clean and the people who work there are very nice. Their breakfast is awesome! You are within walking distance to most everything downtown Gatlinburg.
Looking forward to visiting again after another update. Bathroom was fantastic, except water pressure in shower. The wood paneling was a bit below expectations for price. Staff was great and breakfast room very pretty.
The property is perfect if you aren't going to spend much time in your room. It's walking distance to everything downtown Gatlinburg has to offer. The lobby is super cozy, the breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we've had. The rooms were dated and the bed was so firm my back and hips were not very forgiving, but as I mentioned, if you arent wanting much time in your room and love the idea of not having to pay for parking or drive everywhere, this is the perfect place!
Our family stayed here for the first time and absolutley loved it . Staff was super friendly , the look and feel of the hotel was like being wrapped in a warm blanket. The Complimentary breakfast is the best we've ever had! Eating breakfast with a mountain view every morning just can't be beat ! Thanks to all of the staff of the Gatlinburg Inn.

We expected an old hotel (historic, after all), but were surprised that there were so few conveniences. No microwave or refrigerator, no fans at all (a ceiling fan and a bathroom fan would have been appreciated.)
The breakfast was much like I think it would be at an assisted living facility. Only fresh fruit was very green bananas.
When we reported that our room hadn’t been cleaned or restocked one day, no one really cared.
Just a bit disappointed, given that the price was higher than others in the area and the Expedia write-up looked good.
I love the location and the ambience of the Gatlinburg Inn. Breakfast was on point. Staff was always friendly.
My complaint would be… the carpet in the room that I was in 107 needs it to be replaced along with the chair. Old and dirty looking. Also it would be great if the shower had a wand shower head.
This was a wonderful older Historic Hotel. Friendly and helpful staff! Clean, convenient wonderful full breakfast. Definitely will stay here our next visit which is already planned
This place was amazing!! Right in the heart of shopping and dining. The breakfast was awesome. I would go back again and this would be my choice for lodging!!
This hotel is like taking a step back in time! It really is charming! Unfortunately, the pool is currently closed due to a leak. And the pull out bed was not at all comfortable. The hotel itself was clean, quiet, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was very good. I believe everything was made from scratch (gravy & biscuits especially). We loved hanging out on the front “porch” area in the rocking chairs in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine at night. It was the perfect way to wind down after a busy day.
I am so glad we were able to stay here. I have wanted to for years but never worked out. The breakfast is awesome. The staff are friendly and give you great restaurant ideas. We will be back.
It's been there since 1937..but we absolutely loved it! So laid back! There was music on the beautiful front entrance one night and cloggers the next. The bed are very comfy and the breakfast was amazing. Also, its centrally located so you can walk everywhere. We walked as far as the moonshine coaster..its better than sitting in traffic! When we parked on Friday we didn't get ba k in the car til we left on Sunday! I will never stay anywhere but here.
We loved everything. Staff was extremely helpful and professional. Rooms were clean and quiet. Breakfast was awesome

Historical property so don’t expect updated facilities. It was clean & great location. Bedding was also comfortable. Bears around the parking lot so that was kinda cool😎
