Really nice place in Gatlinburg, very affordable.
We had a great time in Gatlinburg. We saw several bears, even saw cubs. This hotel sits next to a stream and we could hear the water while in bed.

The property is like when you drink too much and you think someone is really cute but then you sober up and start looking at the details and realize that it is run down and dirty. Door to the balcony would not lock, dents/small holes in the walls, mismatched paint patches, dirty grout/baseboards, blown light bulbs, dirty glass light fixtures, shower curtain was fabric and stained, face clothes/towels had yellow stains, mold/peeling paint in the shower, curtain rod was disgusting, a previous guest's hair in the dresser drawers, freezer door was non-existent/freezer was a solid block of ice, blackout/privacy curtain did not cover the entire French doors which led to a bright beam of light in the room all night, air conditioner sounded like a diesel engine, coffee packets were already open and used, sheets were questionable so we slept wrapped up in our travel blankets for the night because there was no other place available, employees were helpful but not too thrilled to do it. NOT USA-operated. I'm not trying to be a Karen, but for the high price we paid we really expected much better. I don't need the Ritz but I do need a clean room at least. The only plus side to our visit to the Econolodge was the river view, if you can call it that. Won't be back to Econolodge again and Expedia should not recommend them on their site because it will hurt their ratings.

Good enough
This was a last minute 3 night stay. This hotel is definitely a "you get what you pay" for place. The good: Location is great for walking through town. It's on the end of the main street (1 block from Ober) but we didn't need to use our car except to go into the national park. The river behind the room is relaxing and made the balcony more enjoyable. We didn't hear any neighbors both above us and on the sides. Breakfast is basic. Grab and go pastries, microwaveable Jimmy Dean breakfast stuff, a single waffle maker, etc. The staff was all very friendly. We stayed 3 nights and had daily check-ins for housekeeping. We were kept well stocked with toiletries and towels. The pool was clean and open until 10pm. The bad: Our room was very musty smelling and papers in our room were damp by day 2. We had multiple centipedes in our room, mostly on the floor. The remote for the tv was very basic and nearly impossible to use so we ended up not even watching tv. Overall, I'd stay here again only because it was so budget friendly and walkable to everything without being in the middle of town. Within 15 minutes of checking in, we had a bear visit the hotel, walk across the top balcony, and wander around the pool area.

I was absolutely impressed with my entire experience with Econo Lodge Gatlinburg. The customer liaison at check inn was the most friendly and helpful person I have met on the entire trip. The room was warm and welcoming and as soon as I layed on the bed I did not wake up until 5 hours later. That’s a big deal for a female traveling alone .

Good stay for the money
The location and quality for the price I paid was great. We had a gorgeous view of the river. The beds are comfortable but firm. If you have issues with firm beds, they may not be comfortable for you. The rooms could use a good deep clean and the balconies could be cleaned but, overall, it wasn’t dirty or gross. This was a last minute stop for us and it was far enough from the hustle and bustle that it was quiet but it was still close to everything.
