Gatlinburg hotels near Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Cons: Took forever to get breakfast

Cons: Didn't realize I didn't receive my hilton points when booking through a third party. That was what I was told by the staff.

Cons: Check in staff not so friendly, no morning room service, not as big as other Hilton’s we have stayed at

Cons: You all are doing well. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

Cons: River edge? No. And the balcony was about 6 inches above a parking lot. No view and no river.

Cons: When neighbors opened door it caused the adjoining room door to rattle very loud! Sounds like someone is trying to open it in the middle of the night.

Cons: The hotel was very dated and needed a lot of repairs. The shampoo was in small packets instead of bottles and our toilet paper and tissues were left empty when the maids cleaned our room on the second day. If you can get the room for under $50 it is worth it due to the location. The room itself is not worth more than $40 per night.

Cons: condition of hotel

Cons: The room was damp and moldy. The bathroom was seriously outdated. The air conditioner adding work very well. I got what I paid for. This was not a good deal.

Cons: The shampoo was not good. I should have brought my own.

Cons: Could have been a bit more quite and clean. This is an older, slightly run-down motel.

Cons: Carpet could use a cleaning.

Cons: nothing

Cons: Needs bigger TV different bed spreads and a little face-lift.

Cons: No coffee in lobby

Cons: We arrived late at night, after 2am, and there was no one at the check in counter, only a sign saying "be back soon". After sitting in the lobby for more than half an hour whole the security guard stated at me and at his phone, a desk clerk finally arrived to check us in. Parking was limited, but they were accommodating by basically not enforcing any parking rules as long as we were not blocking someone in. They put us in a handicap room, which wasn't a problem in itself, but the bathroom door slides open and shut for ease of access and unfortunately it wasn't well oiled so we weren't able to ever fully open or close the door. I did report the problem, but don't know if it was ever fixed as we were only there 2 nights.

Cons: The second you walk in the room, we opted for the poolside option as we were planning to spend time in the pool with our two small children, all you could smell was chlorine, not to mention the room was about 87 degrees when we first walked in. While looking around our room, we found lots of great treasures, old Broken Oreos in the carpet (carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in about a month) , the bathroom was disgusting you had to hover above the toilet, the shower curtain had something streaked down it, looked like makeup maybe?? Who knows. There was brown matter streaked on the wall I could take a guess on what it was. It looked like feces. The tv kept cutting in and out with sound and picture so that was a no go when my 3 year old asked to watch cartoons before bed. We decided to check out the beds to see what they were like since the rest of the room was absolutely disgusting. On one of the blankets there was red lipstick. And on the sheets there were big black hair. In more spot than one. So I'm guessing the sheets hadn't even been changed? Needless to say we grabbed our bags and our two small children and got the heck out of there, we didn't even stay the night. Then the whole trip was spent attempting to get our refund back as we ended up having to spend money on a different hotel for our trip. And then they tried to tell us that we had to pay for the first night even though we didn't stay. We will not be back. Waste of money and time out of our trip.

Cons: There were a few things broken in the room, the walls are thin, and the pool shouldn't close so early or should have an adults only time. The children spoil the trips

Cons: It is no fault to the people that work there, but the building itself is in need of some TLC. You can tell that is what they are working on, but I couldn't help but notice

Cons: Pool area and hallways were hot.

Cons: Pool area needs upgrade and was glad to see its in the plans for the coming year There were no towel racks in the bathroom and the water never got hot.

Cons: Beds are very uncomfortable. Our room balcony was in the pool area and it was at least a 100°+ when you walked up to go to our room. I just believe you should know that. And the pictures looked a whole lot nicer to me.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Pool was ice child

Cons: Very small rooms. Pool was dirty. Hot tub was so disgusting we didn't dare get any where near it. Hair on our sheets when we first pulled them back.

Cons: There were ants in our room. The minifridge became unplugged sometime when we were asleep the first night and ruined our food in the fridge. When you entered the room the smell was unpleasant and somewhat over powering, took a while to adjust to it.

Cons: The pool wasn't very easy to access at all, our room we were given at check in had not been cleaned up from a prior maintenance job but the front desk took care of us right away and put us in another room. We ended up being by the creek which was really nice.

Cons: Too many children screaming.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Our room was very small and smelled like mildew/mold. The hotel is very outdated and not very clean. The Wifi did not work most of the time and the shower water kept going from scalding hot to cold without touching anything. We also were put in a "pet friendly" room, which I would NEVER stay in again. If I had known that part of the hotel was "pet friendly" I would have never booked there. We will never stay at this hotel again.

Cons: There were roaches in room. Staff was nice but we won't stay there again.

Cons: It's not very fancy or new, but if you're not a fancy person then you'll love it.

Cons: Parking needs some work

Cons: The hotel was in need of some repairs and could use updating

Cons: N/A

Cons: The Wi-Fi only worked at the main building and a bit beyond. Did not see any breakfast options available but a fantastic pancake house was nearby. Bathrooms needed updated.

Cons: Walk down to town was okay but coming back up the hill was rough.

Cons: Bathrooms could use a few updates. It was also a cold walk outside from the indoor pool to our room but that's just part of being an older/motel-style establishment.

Cons: False advertising on booking site. I booked a room with a hot tub and fireplace... No hot tub and (although it was late September) the fireplace didn't work due to it being "out of season". Bathroom was super tiny and the tub/shower was very slippery. Creepy-looking people hung-out outside of hotel's laundry mat (which you have to walk through to get to the elevator).
