Comfortable Stay with a great location.
I stayed at the Econo Lodge Inn just a couple of days ago and had a good experience overall. The hotel is conveniently located close to Gatlinburg downtown, which made it easy to explore the area without having to drive far. The highlight was definitely the beautiful lake view, adding a peaceful touch to the stay. The bedding was comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well, keeping the room cool and pleasant. The hotel is a bit older, but it’s well-maintained and clean. The service was great; the staff was friendly and quick to accommodate my request for an extended checkout. Breakfast was simple but a nice addition to the stay. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel close to downtown Gatlinburg with a nice lake view and decent amenities, Econo Lodge Inn is a solid choice.

This travel lodge is showing its age and needs a little makeover. But the coffee was really good, we loved our balcony over the river and triple rested well. Staff was friendly and hospitable!

Good for a night.
This motel is an older motel that has had some updates. It was clean, but there was some mold stains around the tub area, and the bathroom floor needs replaced. But let me stress, for the price it was ok for one night. It is conveniently located close to town.

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. It was very relaxing having a patio with a view of the river out back. We started most mornings sitting out there to enjoy the sounds. We liked that it was equal parts quiet and walkable to downtown. Would definitely stay again!
