This is not a 3 star hotel. The bed was comfy but the headboard was white except for the grip marks from hands. The towels had holes and was rough The shower needs repairs. Water drained extremely slow. Bottom of tub kept making cracking sounds if you moved as it was hollow underneath. It smelled old!!

Location was AMAZING and the fire ring was very nice. Staff was all friendly and every single day there were bear walking around the hotel. I did request a room not on ground level and booked this months before my stay. I got a ground level room that was dingy and a bit dirty but the location and bear entertainment made up for the lack of room awe

The slide didn’t work for a while. Floors were filthy, loud people outside till after 1 am, beds were very stiff, ended up buying mattress toppers and pillows, daughter had bedbugs in her bed so we left for another hotel 4 days earlier then our original check out date.

I asked for a room on the top floor and was told they put me down for one the day before and when I got there they didn’t have a room on the top floor. I called at 3:30 pm I called the front desk and asked for 2 more to towels he said he would send them right up at 7:30 pm I went to the office and picked up the towels. But other than that it was nice and clean.

Staying at Howard Johnson was SUCH a great experience. We had some trouble with booking because online it says you only need to be 18 to book but over the phone I was told differing numbers. Thankfully after talking to the manager Omar, we were able to book and check in with ease. The hotel was in a perfect area just a few minutes walk to the main strip and for the price point we loved it!

Great Time in Gatlinburg

The hotel is in a great location with great amenities. Easy walk to all the attractions. The only downside is the mattress is uncomfortable, however we are older so that could be part of it. Hotel is kept clean and you will see many bears while staying here.

Stayed here at least 2X a year for the past 7 years. Its location to the town of Gatlinburg is excellent and convenient & walkable. Short drive to SMNP, Dollywood & Soaky Mtn WP. Reasonably priced & never had any issues. Our typical stay is usually 3 to 4 nights usually in July or Aug and of course mid to late October.

My only gripe is that it has one of those ACs which is supposed to be climate controlled but actually just switches off after 15 mins and you wake up in the middle of the night feeling hot, annoying for people who are sensitive to heat but other than that it's a great place with good staff!

Room was dirty. Hair in the sink. Pulled back covers and there was hair on the bed. Called front desk and they said they had no other rooms and we should have called earlier. We didn’t walk in the room and immediately pull back the covers. Also room was next to pool and it was to close at 10. People still out at midnight talking loud. Will not stay here again.
