Only stayed one night, looked for a place in central downtown, and wanted a clean room. We got all of this at Econo Lodge. The room had a king bed with refridgerator and microwave, was clean and quiet. We were in the middle of downtown and walked everywhere we needed to go. Check-in was very easy as well as check-out! Would definately stay there again.
GREAT PRICE,LOCATION,PLACE

Don't let price fool you. Excellent hotel - just clean,neat, friendly. Not a high end hotel. Excellent for walking to downtown - a SHORT block away. Just great!

I don't know if I got a bad room or what. I stayed here based on previous ratings and was very disappointed. The staff at the motel were excellent...very friendly. The location was exactly what I needed. My problem was with the room. When I first walked in, the smell was terrible. The room smelled of urine and "old". The carpet was so stained that I diidn't take my shoes off until I got into the bed. The toilet seat wasn't clean...I cleaned it myself. There was a damp, wrinkled washcloth hanging on the bar in the outer bathroom area. There are several great restaurants close by...highly recommend Puleos Grille. I won't stay here again because if the other rooms smell like that one I don't think I could stand it for another night. Beware of Room 208!
Just close enough...but not too close!

My boyfriend and I just returned from Gatlinburg, where we spent most of our time hiking in the park and walking the Parkway at night. The Econo Lodge Inn & Suites was the perfect location for us--just a very short walk from the Parkway at the corner where Ripleys Museum and the Space Needle are (so we were close to the heart of Gatlinburg) but it was also far enough to have peace and quiet when you needed it. Everything was as advertised except for the wi-fi acess. We were unable to connect from our room, so we had to go to the hotel lobby to access it.
And as others have said, the continental breakfast consisted of two types of cereal, bread/toast, apple and orange juice, donuts and coffee which is usually suitable. If you want something a bit more healthy, you can pack your own food (as we did) or if you prefer, there are PLENTY of pancake houses and familiar fast food restaurants close like McDonalds, Wendy's, and Burger King that you can eat at--even pick it up and head to the Park to eat, if you'd like.
We were definitely pleased with the hotel and will definitely stay there again. It's a value stay that doesn't make you feel like you sacrificed anything to stay at an economically friendly hotel.
Great location...

This was our first trip to Gaitlinburg. The location was great! Well within walking distance to all the shops and activities. The hotel itself needed remodeling in the bathroom area. The shower head was very low. Breakfast was not good. Doughnuts, cerel and toast. The pool was certainly never crowded, and it was far enough back that you had a little privacy when by the pool. I would suggest to get in the first building. We had a wonderful view of a dilapated building on the balcony. But on the other hand, we had a balcony. Great for when one smokes and the other doesn't. The Ramada is right next to this hotel as well. All in all, it was a good hotel for the money.
