While the property isn't the fanciest, the rooms are clean and the location was perfect for us. The river view rooms do face the street so you will hear traffic during the day but it quiets down significantly at night. The Motel is right at the beginning of Gatlingburg shortly after the first traffic light. Even though its at the edge of town, it was a great spot for us to be able to walk the entirety of Gatlinburg center and not have to worry about finding a parking spot. If you walk straight down it takes about 30 minutes to get to Crockett's breakfast at the opposite end of Gatlinburg. Being just north of the center of town its a little less chaotic and yet still allows for easy access to all the shops.

This place was an okay place. I’d say average. I did have higher expectations from the pictures of the room and the property. The staff were exceptionally nice though so that made up for that.!
