7.0/10

The motel is conveniently located close to the main strip of Gatlinburg, offering easy access to attractions like the SMNP, aquarium, and the Gatlinburg strip. The rooms have some issues with maintenance and cleanliness, but overall, the friendly service and peaceful location by the creek make it a decent choice for a stay. The dining options are limited and come at an additional cost, slightly impacting the overall experience.

Rooms

7.0

While the rooms were quite spacious and overlooked the scenic creek, I did notice some maintenance issues like a crack in the bathroom ceiling and peeling paint on the walls. There was also a lingering smell, possibly from the old carpet.

Service

8.0

The service was accommodating and friendly, with staff open to addressing any concerns, including bear sightings. However, it felt like there could be more investment in maintaining the facility to improve overall guest experience.

Location

9.0

The motel is nicely situated close enough to the main activities in Gatlinburg, although driving may still be necessary for some. Sitting by the creek behind the motel is relaxing, and the outdoor amenities like swings, chairs, and fire pit are a nice touch.

Dining

5.0

The dining option at Brookside costs an additional $5 per person and offers a basic breakfast that may not be worth the added expense. However, you can enjoy Colombian coffee for an extra energy boost each morning.

Facilities

6.0

The motel has limited facilities, and while the outdoor area by the creek is pleasant, there is room for improvement in terms of overall maintenance and additional amenities.

Although the rooms were a little cramped and outdated, they were clean. The service was superb throughout despite some minor oversights. The location is very good with a babbling brook outside, convenient trolley stop, and close proximity to Gatlinburg. The dining experience was mediocre, and the hotel facilities were acceptable.
