“As Advertised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Don't be misled into thinking this is a Hilton based on rankings as it is not. However, I don't believe they put themselves out as one. Nice place with a good location.If I was planning on spending a lot of time in my room I would consider somewhere else, but that is not what I go to Gatlinburg for.Bottom line would I stay here again and I definitely would. Convenient to GSMNP and Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail is about 5 minutes away.

“Always A Top Choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

We choose Jack Huff's because it is always the same, meaning clean and reasonably priced. Never any complaints. Great and Friendly Staff. Our favorite place to stay. There are other places in Gatlinburg we have stayed and they have been O.K., but we tried Jack Huff's and have never considered anywhere else.

“Will Return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

10/26/2012-10/29/2012 Excellent choice for another yearly visit to Gatlinburg. You cannot go wrong with this Motor Lodge, unless you want to spend an arm and a leg. And are a upscale person. Clean, Everything you need to make your stay pleasant. Nice view, quiet,safe,outside pool, close to the Villages. Comfy and homey feeling.... outside private Balcony with chairs. We are completely satisfied!!! No parking fees, walk to all of the shops and restaurants.
Oh and they have hot tubs,which were very clean and I darn it forgot my swimsuit!!!

“You the heck would stay at a motor lodge?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

The name sounds sketch. They have no web site. When you call them, they ask you to mail them a check (no credit accepted). I almost didn't book, but I we were trying to save money so we just went with the flow. We were so glad we did.

The place is clean, the people are friendly. The rooms are huge, have a balcony and the bed was comfortable. The biggest plus to this place is the location. We were walking distance from the all the tourist attractions on the main drag. We walked to dinner, the aquarium...pretty much everything.

We loved Gatlinburg despite it being a little on the trashy/touristy side. It is basically Myrtle beach of the mountains, but it is a great place to go with kids.

To top it all off, when we checked out...they gave us a refund because I sent them a check for too much. I am giving this a five star even with the mentioned annoyances, because we had a great stay and felt it was a wonderful value.
