Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were friendly. There was no soap in our rooms bathroom and there was a dead bug in the bathroom as well. Expedia states no free breakfast but that is not the case so that was nice.
If you want a nice place, close to downtown Gatlinburg, this is your place. Extremely clean. Good pool and slide for kids. Clean indoor pool and spa. Sweet amenities like apple cider and cookies in the evening. A nice back porch area with tables. It feels like you are staying in a cabin. It actually looks like the pictures.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful as we were figuring out what to do. The property is fun with fire pits going, indoor and outdoor pools, and cute cabin style rooms.
Love The Appy. The staff is helpful, property and the rooms are always clean. Easy parking and close to downtown Gatlinburg. It is very convenient that the trolley stop is right by the hotel. I definitely recommend.
We stayed at The Appy Lodge last week for our trip to the smoky mountains. The lodge was beautiful with some rustic charm. The staff was warm and courteous and took care of any requests we had immediately. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools added to the stay. The breakfast options made it easy to start the day. The proximity to the mountains and the downtown made the stay even more pleasant and convenient. I totally recommend The Appy Lodge for your vacation to the smoky mountains.
Last minute decision to meet our kids in Gatlinburg and I found this place with great reviews! It exceeded our expectations and we will certainly be back!
PERFECT location! I didn’t even need my GPS once I saw how close we were to everything! The place was clean and staff very helpful! We could’ve walked to downtown Gatlinburg, but my teenagers weren’t having it lol! I will definitely be adding this hotel as our go-to when in the smokies again.
The day shift front desk woman was not friendly or helpful. The evening shift man was great. Friendly and helpful. It was pretty clean. The property and pools were great. The room smelled musty and air-conditioner worked good, but was noisy. It was a great location and overall a nice place to stay. Hot tub was really nice too.
Hotel was clean, quiet, convenient, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great; everything fresh and clean, good quality. Only one thing would have made it perfect- small bottles of cold water or pitcher of water in breakfast area. Would absolutely recommend.
Great hotel … has a Trolly pick up that goes into town! It’s at the edge of Gatlinburg so less noise. Great pools and hot tub! Very friendly staff! Breakfast was a very good mix of food! Would most definitely stay again. Only hiccup was the elevator stopped working when trying to check out ..… had to take bags down three flights of stairs. We really enjoyed our stay here !! Recommend for families !
It was our first time in the Smokies. We stayed here for 3 nights with our 9 hear old. The rooms were clean and the staff was great. Location was ideal to get to Pigeon Forge and into the state park quickly. Plus the parking ticket for the other end of gatlinburg was worth it's weight in gold. We'll.definitely be back
