Motel 6 Gatlinburg, TN - Smoky Mountains

Room 114, was filthy and smelled like dogs had been in there for months. The only light left on for us was the 1.5 inch gap on the bottom of the door letting cold air, sunlight, and rodents in. $157 for one night in a place where we felt like we needed to be vaccinated. No lie, we never walked on the floor without shoes and thank God we brought our own sheets and pillows.. NEGATIVE 1 star!

PETS ARE FREE!!!! And bears show up every night! And if you go in the right spot, you can see the Little Pigeon river below. And, it borders the GSMNP. Otherwise, this is very much a second-rate motel. Expect no frills, and much old and run-downess. But the beds are good. And did I mention, PETS ARE FREE!? Because of this, there are a lot of other pet lovers there, and pets make for good human social interaction. Therefore we stay there over and over with our dogs! If you don't travel with pets, you have little reason to stay here. If you do, then you have many good reasons to stay here, especially if you have an old dog that you need to carry, because the grassy area is at chest-level with a wall that you can walk up to and place your dog on the grass. Our old blind dog loves it!

You had me at pets stay free! However, upon check-in, I was disappointed. I stayed this past weekend in room 243. I understand it is a busy time of year, but to book someone into a room with only one hand towel. No wash clothes, bath towels, and a broken bathtub. You have to do better, especially charging customers over a hundred dollars a night. Customers should at least be able to shower. The room was not very clean either. Floor was sticky and dirty. I was disappointed, and to be honest, not comfortable. I checked asap the next day.

Location wise it is very convenient to downtown, but super sketchy with abandon buildings in the area (police questioning a person when we were arriving). Room floor & walls were filthy - we would not take our shoes off. HVAC smelt like filter has never been changed. The sheets on the bed, the vanity area & bathtub were clean and the only reason we stayed 1 night (we drove all day to get there and got there after hours). We canceled the other nights we had booked.

VERY GOOD

The room was somewhat updated, but property still rundown. The lighting in the room was terrible and the floor needed mopped.

I would not recommend.

need a workable ice machine and the water pressure in the shower could be better

Very unhealthy conditions.. would rate it -10.. being someone comingb in from out of state.. will be calling corporate
