My wife and scheduled this as an overnight stop and resupply in Gatlinburg during a 9 day hike on the Appalachian Trail. We hitched from Newfound Gap into town in the rain around 7pm. the front desk was courteous and had our maildrop ready to pickup. The hiker rate was excellent. the laundry room was nearly new. The room was... More

This is the worst place in the world to stay !! The room stunk like a whole football team had practice in there and never showered, Which they couldn't have because there was only one towel in the bath room and there was a shower head but no shower. The heated pool was drained so there couldn't have been any... More

We are backpackers and were headed to the smokies. Because of an unexpected I-75 closure, we arrived too late to head out on the trail. It was Saturday and the area was PACKED. We ended up here because we have pretty low standards when it comes to accommodation [I mean, we're people who voluntarily live in the woods for a... More

We asked for a none smoking room. The door had a non smoking sign on it, but the room smelled like the crappy place it was. Our jack russell would not even stay on the floor. You know you are in trouble when you find a sack of garlic hanging over the door, supposedly to the kitchenette, which had a... More

The pictures! There's no way, NO WAY that these are the rooms listed on the web site. Totally different layout. Bed bugs and bed bug feces behind the unattached head board. If you can imagine a motel rented by the hour this is it, And it has a for sale sign on it. To add the the nightmare they tell... More

This place is very outdated and needs to be fixed up a bit, but it is a great value. I stayed in the suite, which is about $75 per night on weeknights. This motel has a trolley stop at the parking lot, or you can easily walk into downtown Gatlinburg in about ten minutes. The area is VERY safe. Even... More

Booked the Grand Prix Motel at $46 + tax a few days before arrival. We were traveling with 2 small dogs and were looking for cheap, pet friendly lodging and that is certainly what we got. Yes, the hotel is old and worn, but, the location across from Family Inn and 1/2 block from the Bear Skin Lodge was fine... More

This hotel was just what we needed after several days on the AT. We had mailed a resupply box to them and it was there waiting for us when we got there. Harry and Sharon are both very nice people and very helpful in every way! The washer and dryer worked great, the computer was free to use. We had... More
