This days inn, on the west side of Gatlinburg (the side like you're going up towards Newfound Gap / Clingmans Dome) (when busy bring the Gatlinburg bypass up to avoid the traffic) is an older building, but it's very clean, bed is comfy, it's right on the strip which makes walking convenience & excellent. You can smoke out on the balcony. They have self serve breakfast, with a coffee machine 24/7. There is an indoor pool behind the lobby / breakfast area. The ONLY downfall is if you stay in one of the front rooms along the street, you hear all the noise from vehicles & motorcycles reving their engines. If you set out from 1115pm onwards on the balcony you will see random bears coming across the street looking for food. And they are decently priced. I would definitely stay again, but not in one of the front street rooms.
