This motor lodge is one of the first built in Gatlinburg. It is old, but clean. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The location is superb! In the heart of Gatlinburg. One concern we had, there was mold growing on the wall above the sliding glass door. We will stay again when in the area.

Established in 1925,this motel definitely doesn't appear to have a desire to change to be modernized to present times making it a very charming older motel in gatlinburg. The motel to me seems like being in a maze with so many ways inside to manuver around the place once inside.The floors leading to the room creaked being obviously wood.Once inside... More

The hotel cost for one night was $90.00..this room was at best $30.00..why?/ cuz it is in the heart of Gatlinberg shopping. The walls are paper thin(snoring heard from the next room) and the room above us..the floor was soooooo thin sounded like the Russian army was goose stepping through the place. We could not maintain an average temp with... More

Very old / historic places can still use some maintenance / TLC from time to time - Moldy & this place is falling apart!!!!!!!! Very Sad.

We have stayed at this hotel a few times. Each time we stayed here an employee named Mark has checked us in. I have stayed in many other hotels in the Gatlinburg area, but I have yet to find anyone as nice as this guy. He makes you feel like family right from the moment you step in the hotel.... More

It has only been within the last four years, the same time that I have begun to travel for business on an international level, that I have learned some very important travel facts. First, each traveler is very unique in what he or she considers the most important. Second, every traveler has a different degree of tolerance when those important... More

BUT if you can afford the extra money for a nicer hotel, do it!!! Very clean but outdated, dark, and tiny rooms filled with low end furniture. Went to take a shower and there wasn't even a shower head-- just a pipe with water sticking out of the wall. Two of the 5 sources of light in the bathroom and... More

My family has been going to Gatlinburg since the late seventies and every time we always stay here. We stayed at a couple of other places when The Riverside was full but didn't have the experience that we have there.

I stayed 3 nights at the Lodge from May 3-5 2012. The hotel is old but they keep it clean. No continental breakfast but the do have coffee. The parking can get crowded especially on weekends. The location is very good and you can enjoy yourself without driving. Shoneys is right next door and there are many restaurants and gift... More
