Free parking, mini breakfast items were nice to have. Everything within walking distance. Could use some upgrades.

Pros (+) It's a good location, we have enjoyed it in the past
Cons (-) It was very dirty this time. Sticky floors, dark long hair everywhere, extra dirty bed topper, and when we woke up the next morning there was a cockroach on the headboard. Incredibly disturbing. In the past this has been an excellent value for the stay but the cleaning staff had clearly left things in poor standing. Also a burnt out bulb in the lamp stand and there is a gap running all the way aro...

Pros (+) I was very happy with the room I rented at the Econo Lodge Inn. The room was clean and very nice. I had no problems with anything in the room.
Pros (+) While this is an older hotel it was perfect for a nights stay. We were stopping in Gatlinburg for a night and we just wanted a room close to the main street. The hotel was about a block from the restaurants and shops. It was clean and had a refrigerator and microwave which was all we really needed. The bed was ok and it was quiet. Would've preferred a room with a king bed but that wasn't available...

Pros (+) The hotel was ok. It was located in a perfect spot. It was close to the park and right by the Main Street through Gatlinburg. The room was comfortable and clean. We had a balcony which was nice but the view was of a parking lot. This is a good hotel if you don't plan to vacation at the hotel. We used it to sleep and spent the days at the park so it was perfect for us. Free breakfast was a plus but...
Cons (-) The room and hotel were very basic and small. dinning area is very small so getting to the breakfast area early is a must. Hotel is a bit dated also. Nothing major is wrong with any of this and I would stay here again.
