Pros: Everything was wonderful and the price was also great

Pros: It was very clean and staff was very helpful and nice

Pros: Pool

Pros: Pool and lounge facilities were top notch. Beautiful building. Amazing view. Because of the view though, you end up quite a ways outside of Gatlinburg proper. Also the bed was akin to a hammock, which my back objected to

Pros: I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Its literally by the water front, the room has an incredible view of the mountains and the local hotels are neat and the town is very tourist friendly, there are local trolleys to help you get around. It's beautiful and full of cute shops, definately worth exploring.

Pros: Clean and cozy hotel. Staff was attentive and went above and beyond my expectations to ensure a pleased visit. The balcony and view was awesome! The pool was open 24 hours, and was very very clean. Conveniently located to multiple shopping/restaurants areas. Breakfast bar had a variety of options and was pretty good. :)

Pros: It's got a beautiful view of the water

Pros: Balcony on the river, comfortable beds, indoor pool, fire pit

Pros: Breakfast was a really nice feature of the hotel. Great views right on the river.

Pros: Staff was super friendly, breakfast every morning in the lobby was more than expected, and river views from room are amazing. About two blocks from town, shops and dining. There is a trolly right outside hotel if you don't/can't walk a lot. The stream sounds were fantastic!

Pros: Baymont Inn is a decent location just off the main drag which was nice as it was away from the majority of the noise and nightlife. The room was clean and had a fireplace and a patio. Everything in the room was spacious except for the bathroom. Breakfast was good and they kept it stocked throughout.

Pros: Very nice place and convenient to Gatlinburg and all attractions. Free breakfast was good. Kids enjoyed the indoor pool. We will stay here again.

Pros: Crystal at the front desk was so nice. The room was so spacious and was much nicer than anything we could have expected. This place definitely deserves a higher rating than is shown here.

Pros: The room was nice, the bed comfortable, clean room, quiet. Trolley stop in front of motel, had good breakfast room and nice amenities.

Pros: The room was clean and service was good.

Pros: Brookside Resort has a good location but that is about the extent of what I consider a recommendation. The room was very dated....the sheets were dirty and the bathroom is dark. Requested clean sheets which were delivered promptly. The stream behind the hotel was awesome. This could be a really nice place but it will take a large sum of money for this to happen.

Pros: The creek behind our room was wonderful! The room was quaint, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. Check in was quick and hassle free.

Pros: decor, being next to brook, availability of hot breakfast

Pros: hat I liked about brookside was the location. It was right across the street from flapjacks and walking distance from the strip! Great location without being too congested. I liked the rolling creek right outside of back door it was very nice. I liked that they had free breakfast although it was very basic and minimal, the oatmeal was very dry. Staff was nice, not too friendly at times. I walked in to check out and the front desk guy just ignored me and sat on his phone until I was helped by someone else. They also charged my credit card twice but did refund it immediately.

Pros: The Staff was excellent. The rooms were very clean and accommodating. It was peaceful to walk out the back door of our room to the balcony to listen to the stream. The complimentary breakfast was wonderful, the variety of items will fill even the hungriest of appetites. They have lots of amenities at their resort. I would recommend this resort to everyone..

Pros: I really like that the fact the room had a fire place, room was clean, and it's mins drive from gatlenburg.

Pros: Loved how rustic and quiet the resort was but still so close to everything in Gatlinburg. The pool was an amazing feature and if we were there during the winter definitely would have used the wood burning fireplace. Loved that the back patio faced the big creek too.

Pros: Great staff, very friendly. The staff were the highlight of this experience. The rooms were average with the standard motel options. Location was close enough that you could walk to the main attractions. For the price it was worth it.

Pros: Rate and location

Pros: We enjoyed the following... Big, warm indoor pool Creek directly under room balcony Comfortable beds Friendly staff Location On-site breakfast Quiet rooms

Pros: Our stay was great. We would definitely stay again. Rooms were very nice and clean. Staff was friendly. Pool area was great as well. Best thing was it's location to downtown we were able to walk every where just about. Only complaint would be that their towels were to small.

Pros: After reading some reviews after booking our stay I was worried... we arrived & the staff was very friendly, rooms were clean, a/c worked great, ice machines worked. I found no merit to some concerns addressed in others reviews. Yes this is a older motel but not rundown & I would stay again. We were courtside (across the street) & it was very peaceful.

Pros: The cleaning staff was very nice and the riverfront was a plus.

Pros: Ask for the creek side rooms with balconys! Hearing the creek from your room was great. Their indoor pool is what sells this place for me and my family. It's a fun pool, with waterfall and hot tub. You can't beat the value for the location and amenities.

Pros: The pools

Pros: Very affordable, close to the shopping strip & attractions but a little more of a walk than I expected especially with small kids! I think our kids liked the pool more than they liked the actual vacation itself! I was happy to stay there though!

Pros: it reminded me of Gatlinburg when I was growing up. Simple, clean motel. Off the parkway so it was nice and quiet, but still just a short walk to the main drag. AMAZING pool!!! Unbeatable price, and super friendly staff. We will be back!

Pros: The location and the indoor pool were great.

Pros: The staff was extremely friendly and the pool was great. The location was perfect with a trolley stop right out the front door. Creek right under our balcony was amazing. Very nice flat screen and lots of channels.

Pros: It was clean and comfortable. Will get again for the location didn't spend much time there on the strip most of the time

Pros: Location and convenience

Pros: No breakfast

Pros: Location was the ONLY this good about this hotel.

Pros: The stay was good. The other reviews I read about the walls being thin are true. You can here people in the other rooms and especially in the halls. I enjoyed the stay and the location is awesome. I am sure during the busy season it would be very noise inside the building. I would stay during the off season

Pros: Right by the main strip, but it is Gatlinburg. Small town, so everything is in walking distance.

Pros: Love the listening to the creek when I open the door.

Pros: Clerk at front desk was very friendly and suggested some good restraunts in the area. Room was nice, and clean.

Pros: We only had a very short stay when arriving we had a good ways to walk to the room with luggage opened the door and the smell of mold was so bad I started choking. When I told the clerk she was like ok, so she didn't care anyway.

Pros: Location was great. Quiet area.

Pros: The bed was comfortable; but it was supposed to be a king-size, yet it was shorter than my full-size bed at home. The hot tub was nice.

Pros: This hotel is the right around the corner from the entrance to the park, so it is a great option for those who plan to do some hiking. It is very affordable and provides all necessities.
