Great location! A vast and delicious breakfast served in the morning. The bathroom has been updated and is a really nice shower - the beds were also very comfortable. It's an older building - but the things that you want nice are! Very friendly parking attendant. The front desk worker handed me a list of restaurants in the area, but didn't tell me the wifi password was listed on the bottom. The old phone in the room had no instructions on how to call front desk.

Our stay was great! I would definitely recommend. The hotel was very clean and the staff was wonderful. I would have to say that the rooms could use a bit of updating. I think keeping the vibe of the oldest hotel in Gatlinburg is great, but a furniture reboot could be done while keeping the vibe. The parking lot in the front of the hotel is horrible. It’s incredibly tight if you are driving anything bigger than a car or compact suv. I believe it should be required that all full size suvs, vans, etc be parking in the back. Otherwise, this was a wonderful stay!

We have stayed here twice because the location is ideal and the staff is wonderful. We realize that the goal is to appreciate the history of the property and absolutely do appreciate the lobby and common areas. The rooms however do need updating. The 70's paneling is not original to the property and the smell in the rooms is overwhelming. We kept our balcony door open while in the room but still suffered from headaches due to the smell. The bathrooms were updated and are very nice. It would benefit the ratings if the bedroom spaces were as well.

Never had to drive once. Could go play, eat, and drink and still make it back to my hotel. Great location and staff. Definitely one of the only places I'd stay at in the Gatlinburg.

We will be staying here again and again!!
The Historic Gatlinburg Inn was wonderful. Tons of history and you felt like you were back 50 yrs, yet had a modern feel to it! We had a balcony room and many of the furnishings in our room are originals in excellent condition. They had a free hot breakfast that was excellent. Fireplaces throughout. Great friendly people working there. We highly recommend this place for your stay in Gatlinburg!

Twenty minutes from the Appalachian Trail
Stayed here for a week in early February, and I’m a fan. It’s old and historic, as advertised, and though my room looked like a scene from a 1970s movie (possibly A Walk in the Spring Rain), it was comfortable and clean – cleaned every day, in fact, which is more than I get with my Marriott Platinum membership. I stayed here because of its history and proximity to the park, but as a first-time visitor to Gatlinburg, I came to really appreciate its central location on the strip, which gets choked with cars and crowds on the weekend, even in winter. Friendly staff, generous breakfast spread, and rocking chairs on my balcony reinforced the sense of southern comfort.
