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 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.

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.

Very comfortable in perfect position in Gatlinburg
A lovely historic hotel which is perfectly placed in Gatlinburg. Our balcony overlooked the Skylift, which was an added bonus. Our bed and pillows were wonderfully comfortable. Breakfast each day was always home made and tasty. Shame about single use plastic cutlery but the cups were sustainable, so hopefully recyclable. Room soundproofing could be better but appreciate the age of the building. We'd definitely stay again.

I always check every place I stay for bugs. And this hotel was COVERED with stink bugs. It was so disgusting. They had their maintenance guy come in and clean them. They offered no compensation and honestly did not care one bit. They just said they didn't have other rooms. And even their maintenance guy said he'd never seen so many bugs. Thankfully I didn't find bedbugs. If I had, we would have left regardless. But we only needed to sleep a few hours before heading to our next destination. On top of that, it looks like this place hasn't been updated in 30 or 40 years. Whatever you do, pay more and stay somewhere else!!!
