We have 5 couples making a loop through Gatlinburg the last week of October. We plan to stay for 2 to 3 days before moving on. Any hotel or motel that anyone would recomend? Thanks in advance.

 

Look into Pigeon Forge which is just down the road.I stayed there last year and it was a great location with good access to ride the Dragon,Cherohala and BRP.There are plenty of food choices there as well.

 

Try the Park Grove Inn in Pigeon Forge. Nice place & they will let you park the
scoots right in front with the camera at the front desk watching it.

 

I prefer to stay in Townsend. Not as crowded but quick access to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or the Smokies.

 

I stayed in Gatlinburg this April at the Rocky Waters Motor Inn
http://www.rockywatersmotorinn.com/ It's down from the main drag and you are in walking distance of most everything. If you are going out to dinner and like fish try the Trout House....excellent! Be sure to share some pictures when you get back!

The Pancake Pantry...(at The Village...On the strip.

These are our favorites

 

Been there many times and usually stay in Gatlinburg. Holiday Inn is OK, some of the other older motels have smaller rooms and accomodations, but have good locations to restaurants and shopping. (Pigeon Forge has some good places as well, but I still prefer Gatlinburg) Where ever you stay, I would make the reservations asap. Town is extremely busy that time of year.
