For over 12 years we have stayed with this most graceous FAMILY...We have taken about 30 others family and friends about three visits a year from Mobile, Alabama 536 miles! All these others continue to return with their family and friends because of the reasonable cost right in the center of Gatlinburg. The trolley runs until midnight and drops you... more

I stayed at the Bales motel the first week of May 2008. The location was great as it was off of the very busy Parkway. The room had a kitchen in it the we used at least twice per day. This saved a ton of money as it is expensive and time consuming to eat out in Gatlinburg and Pigeon... more

We stayed here for a family trip. The room with kitchen was clean and comfortable. The motel is an easy walk to the strip. If you want a room to stay while running around Gatlinburg and the National Park this is the perfect place. The room with kitchen was well worth the price more

Nice

We decided to vacation in Gatlinburg at the last minute. We didn't have alot of money to spend on an expensive hotel. So after readind the reviews on tripadvisor, I we decided to go with Bales. I call the hotel directly and got a great low rate. When we arrived, I didn't like the look of the hotel, kinda country... more

I read the reviews of this hotel and though OK i can do this. I wanted a clean inexpensive hotel. What I got was more like the BATES MOTEL. Our room, on the end towards the back was in shambles. The staff was very nice but the room was scary. The beds were very thin, there were holes in wall... more

I was a little disappointed with the motel after reading the great reviews. The room we had was clean but a little musty smelling. Beds were pretty hard and the biggest disappointment was the swimming pool. My kids were looking forward to swimming and when we went to look at it after our arrival- it had dirt clumps in the... more
