Loved this hotel!!

Reviewed By shroog

Really loved everything about this place!! The room had plenty of space, was very clean, and nicely updated! Loved the pool area. Loved the balcony with view of the river and mountains. Loved the 24/7 snacks and drinks. Loved the free pancakes (or upgraded buffet) across the street. Loved the fire pit and smores each night, and entertainment/singing one night. Loved that you could walk to the Island. Loved the location. And, loved the friendly employees! We will definitely be staying here again!!

Great Location, right in downtown Gatlinburg. Got to park in the parking garage and walk through the hallway to our room that overlooked the river. Complimentary breakfast was great and staff was friendly at check in/check out.

Great view and location, but limited to vacation traveler

Reviewed By chipsawhoy

Great views, but Wifi quality was not suitable for remote work as the connection repeatedly cuts out. You’ll have to ask to have your room cleaned and you’ll have to seek out your breakfast elsewhere in town because their restaurant is still not open.

Dirty.

The room was cute. Upon minutes of being there, our socks were black. I bent over and rubbed my fingers on the floor and they were instantly filthy. Dusty, black and dirty. Two stars because management was very nice and immediately refunded so we could go elsewhere.

My partner and I stayed at the Inn for 5 nights. Everyone there was especially nice and attentive. The staff was warm and welcoming. Our room was spacious and clean. It’s just a nice place to stay. I wish there were more hotels with customer service like the Inn. I will definitely stay there again and I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area.

The Appy Lodge

The Appy Lodge is a locally owned and operated hotel in Gatlinburg and is an excellent choice for travelers enjoying the Smokies. The property was formally a Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott but underwent a $5 million renovation in 2018 with a new focus and story. The hotel is now based on America's most loved footpath, the Appalachian Trail. Guest rooms are named after shelters found along the trail and the halls are filled with pictures and stories provided by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, allowing guests to immerse themselves into the story and the history of the Appalachian Trail. Guests will find that the property is a family-friendly environment including many helpful amenities designed to enhance your stay. The Appy Lodge offers indoor and outdoor pools as well as a splash pad for younger guests. We have complimentary breakfast and refreshments in the afternoon providing a pleasant respite from your busy day. For guest convenience, free parking is available and a city trolley stop is located in our parking lot. The hotel is located a half of a mile from downtown Gatlinburg and at the entry to the spur that leads to Pigeon Forge. The Gatlinburg bypass for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is less than half of a mile from the property. We hope that on your next trip to the Smokies you'll decide to make The Appy Lodge your next home away from home!

Hotel was beautiful all the staff were very respectful and kind, my only complaints would be the breakfast would be much better as a hot breakfast and the pools are both small compared to how big the hotel is. I would definitely stay here again!
