"close to downtown"
I expected the hotel to be in the old location. The room was not bad,they need to update the curtains though. It was close to down town and very quiet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"not at all what i expected"
Pictures do not give you current looks of the jetted tub we had. The first room we were assigned had a filthy tub that had not been properly cleaned. It looked as if the ppl actually lived in a few rooms at the bottom row of rooms. Will defiantly not stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel is very dated. Elevator had broken ceiling tiles. Bathroom sink was broken (cracked) and had been repaired but there were purple stains as a result of the glue/repairs. Toilet was very slow to fill. Breakfast was okay...no fruit which was disappointing.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Howard Johnson is pretty outdated but the location was great and the staff was excellent.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nice Place to Stay!!"
Front Desk Office very helpful & Quality of service was good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just as expected"
The hotel staff was extremely helpful and wonderfully informative. The only thing was that the room hadn't been vacuumed upon our arrival. The staff told us they were having trouble with the cleaning staff and to call him if our rom wasn't clean, but we didn't feel like causing a fuss for such a small thing. Other than that, its a good place to stay […] if you're looking for something cheap that isn't completely run down. It's pretty well kept up. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Happy but not happy"
We had one of the cleaning staff members to steal one of my sons DS games. We turned the hotel room upside down looking for it. When we informed the front desk about what had happened the next day the game suddenly turned up where we had looked a million times. Needless to stay we will not be staying at the Howard Johnson of Gatlinburg TN again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice enough stay for the money."
This was the only hotel left for New Year's Eve so I was expecting it to be a dump. The price was far lower than the price every other hotel was charging. The management at the hotel was very helpful and our room was clean and warm when we entered. I also figured the continenal breakfast was a donut and coffee. It was cereal, toast, jelly, oatmeal, […] bagels, those waffles you make yourself (my favorite), donuts, coffee, and juice. The only downfall was that the walk was a little far to go to get to where the shops start. Overall I had a nice experience and would recommend this hotel. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Peeping Tom's Dream"
It is in an excellent location and within walking distance of most things. The staff is friendly, and the rooms are very clean. We were even able to check in early, and never needed towels. However, our curtain was too short and not hung correctly. We had to clip it closed with a clothes hanger and shut it in our door just so people could not see in […] our room at night. Even after that, the outside light at our door shined in from the top and lite up the room to where you could literally read by the light. It is very lazy and irresponsible for the hotel owners to expect people to stay in a room where anybody at anytime can see in the room. The curtains had been stapled shut by previous guest and the staple holes were still in the curtain. How can the owners expect people to feel comfortable with such a lack of privacy! They should have more pride in their hotel than that. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel for the money"
We stayed in this hotel just for one night. Location of this hotel was very convenient. Very close to all fun places. Room was clean and complimentary breakfast was good. So we have nothing to complain about, especially for the money we paid for the room.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great place for a family on a budget"
The room was clean and comfortable for my family. The staff was friendly and courteous. the location was great, I just parked and walked to retaurants and stores and for the price, I couldn't beat it.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Ok for price."
Decent hotel for the price. Although, the bathtub drain was 98% clogged...which made it difficult to take a shower. But that was the only issue. Staff was very friendly when I brought it to their attention.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel dirty, bad, old plumbing fixtures"
Hotel was dirty when we checked in, but staff cleaned it up the next day. Plumbing fixtures were all old, and water saaving so extreme you oculd hardly take a shower.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A few snags but was perfect!!"
We Checked in to our hotel Nov 1st around 4 pm. THe room was very clean the only thing was that we were missing a pilliow which they gave it to us the next morning. Not a huge deal. The Breakfast is small but was still a good Breakfast with waffles and ceral. We had a toddler so it was perfect. The front desk ladies were all so nice and helpful. Room […] was clean and smelled very clean, I would however suggest if you are in the top building. Pull your car down to the office when you walk the strip to avoid the big hill.. Or they give you a piece of paper to park at another hotel closer to the main strip!! We loved our stay and will stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"I wouldn't send my enemy to this hotel"
when we arrived, i told the front desk that my sister does not walk well, and she put us on the third floor at the end of the hall. The room looked like it had not been vacuumed and then I found a dirty sock under the table. the plug-ins did not look safe. the hair dryer did not work, the ice machine on the first floor, did not work, and they did not […] even change our sheets and we were there for three days. I tried to discuss this with the manager, and guess what, there was never a manager there. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"within walking distance of downtown"
The room was clean. Their were old burn marks on the carpet by one of the beds. The hotel could definitely use some updating and sprucing up. The free breakfast was terrible. The baked goods were packages opened and set on trays. The waffle maker needed to be cleaned. The syrup and baked goods were stale and old tasting. Probably will not stay there […] again.

"SMOKEY MOUNTAIN GET-A-WAY"
THE LOCATION WAS GREAT FOR OR VISIT TO DOWNTOWN GATTLINBURG. THE BEDS WERE COMFORTABLE AS WELL AS THE PILLOWS.VERY NICE LADY AT THE FRONT DESK.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Privacy issue"
Hotel and ammenities looked nothing like those displayed on website. The curtains had small holes in them and we had to tie them together to keep them closed from outside veiw of other guests walking by. Could have used more maintenance upkeep.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Shady"
We got back to our room from walking around, and the door was cracked open. First thought was someone was either inside robbing us or we had been robbed already. All our belongings were intact, including laptops, tablets, etc. No one was in the room. Door opened on its own while we were gone, shady.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"weekend trip with husband and best friend"
Carpet was dirty, stained..bathroom had hair/fuzz in bathtub..room was not accommodating to a person in a wheel chair. Couldnt even get my chair through door without help. Could not get my chair in bathroom. Other than that it was ok next time I will be sure to insist on an accessible room.. on a side note the view from our room was awesome.Genuine Expedia guest review
"not bad"
After reading some of the reviews I was little scarred to stay at the hotel but durring the time needed there was not many other hotels available. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpfull. The hotel is a little out dated but the room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. As for the bad reviews I had read. They must be very […] picky people because the hotel wasnt near what they said it was like. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"rod run"
I expected nicer rooms from a howard johnson.. had a awesome workout facility!Genuine Expedia guest review
The hotel is conveniently located in town. I basically needed a place to sleep during my weekend there and my room was more than adequate. It might have been an older room but it was well maintained and clean. The hotel has quite a nice gym (its an actual gym with paid membership fees; guests can use it for free). The outdoor pool was closed but I didn't […] have time to swim anyway. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Economical lodging."
The shower was terrible and desperately needed a drain cleaner put in the tub. I hate to stand in shower water almost up to my ankles! Beds had clean linens on them, but sheets were not straight and they were awfully wrinkled. Not a good first impression.Genuine Expedia guest review
"It was a mistake to book the hotel"
The moment we checked in the hotel, there was no internet in our room. Called the font desk couple of times and none of font desk executives are aware that there was no internet connection. After almost 2 days they finally said the router is damaged and they have to replace the router and there will be no internet whole night. Didn't have the internet […] for the whole stay in the hotel. Also there was a water blockage in the bathroom. It was mistake to book in the hotel, as there were so many options in the area Gatinburg, TN.Being stayed Howard Johnson in other places, this is as far the worst experience we have ever had. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Hotel is dated. The bed linens and towels were immaculate. The red shaggish carpet needs to go. I liked the soaps and shampoos they supply. The pool deck needs to be redone asap. The broken chairs by the pool should be fixed or thrown away. I was happy with it's location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
