Check in was easy and the gentleman who checked me in was SO nice and friendly! Hotel in easy walking distance of the strip and was perfect our overnight birthday celebration. Room with panoramic mountain view and needle. Quiet. Room was huge with two double beds. Hotel is a little older so not all of the bells and whistles but that's what made it special for us! Couch in room. Fridge. The heat had been turned on for our arrival and that was so nice as it was pretty cold outside. Hotel is on a hill by itself so parking was easy. Check in was at the Econo Lodge at the bottom of the hill and this is also where breakfast was served. Balcony with some chairs to sit in and take in the quiet, beautiful view in the evening or morning. Definitely keeping this place on my list of finds. If you like fancy, this is not the place for you. If you like friendly, adequate, and easy access to the Gatlinburg strip, this is perfect! Simple place for simple, fun family time! Also, was able to book one night here since we stopped on a whim. It was one of the only places I could book one night so that was a big plus!
