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😎
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!!!
