When i first arrived i was greeted very nicely and checked in like normal, everything went just fine until i got to my room and realized i had been given the wrong room. I called and the desk clerk put me into the right room almost immediately.

The front desk was amazing! We stayed here after a rough experience with another hotel and couldn’t have been more pleased with customer service, room accommodations, and location. The room was clean, the front desk was beyond helpful and kind, and the pool was so fun and clean.

Everything was great, but they really should have a time for the children to exit the pool for adults cause I could not enjoy my swim due to so many children in the pool but we will be returning

My husband and I booked a little “getaway trip” to Gatlinburg! We were satisfied with our room at Sydney James Mountain Lodge. The room was a bit dated and could have used updates, but overall was good. We booked the jacuzzi/fireplace king bed room. Everything worked as it should. The Lodge is far enough away from town that you can’t hear everything going on when resting, but also close enough you can walk to town! I would book again with Sydney James Mountain Lodge.

Our stay was phenomenal exactly what we needed. Everyone was very kind, I would personally like to thank Audrey! I had reserved the room and was charged but my bank didn’t let it go through, so I called and she reassured me my reservation was still saved. I was able to get it to go through, she was incredibly kind and helpful to my husband and I throughout our stay! We will definitely be back this time next year to it all over again. Thanks so much for everything! It was definitely a trip for firsts saw a baby black bear 🐻

GREAT location, friendly service, clean and comfortable rooms. The indoor pool is really a hidden gem at this hotel! Best indoor pool I think I've ever seen. My kids LOVE to swim, so we always try to stay at a place with an indoor pool, but the vast majority of them are just your average square pool in a room. This pool has a waterfall, a little "grotto" to swim around, and the hot tub is up on a platform in a "rock" formation. Front desk staff was very friendly. We did not try the restaurant. Bathrooms were sparkling clean, which is a must for me. My only complaint, and I know this may sound petty, but I had to find something to complain about - the sink in the room was this seashell shape and it's totally flat on the bottom. So when you're brushing your teeth or doing anything in the sink, the toothpaste/whatever doesn't go down the drain. It just kindof languishes in the sink. I hate that. The location cannot be beat. Less than 1 mile from the main "strip," and the Log Cabin pancake house is a 5-minute walk away, if that's your thing. I'm so glad I found this little hotel and can't wait to go back!

Rooms were outdated but nice. No microwave in our room. I thought that was odd. There was one in lobby to use. Pool was amazing with hot tub and sauna. Would definitely go back… about 1 mile from downtown Gatlinburg. We had a creek side room. A bear visited parking lot across the creek and we had geese right out our balcony!

The app rated it an 8 was more a 6.5 maybe a 7. The guys in the Cafe were awesome and the food was good. Room could use an update some cracked tiles and the shower rod hanging by 1 screw. Not a bad walk to the main strip. Was ok for the price.

The lady who helped me was lovely, but nothing was updated at the hotel nor on the Expedia app for this hotel. She told me to stay out of sight with my dog-made me nervous. I tried to call Expedia to say they don’t allow dogs my pet’s size and the fees were not clearly written on there and they do not include breakfast at this hotel. The phone didn’t work in my room and the bathroom faucet leaked. The carpet was brown dirty to the touch and a bear got on my car (and I traveled with 2 little children). Not cool.

The room that we received was very spacious. I loved the layout with the bedroom being an upstairs loft. I looked clean and quaint with an old fashioned look to it. However, we booked a three night stay. We didn’t return until after 10 pm nightly. The upstairs toilet had issues with the tank not refilling. Then, we saw a roach on night one while watching television. On night two, we saw seven roaches throughout the room. Needless to say, we cut our trip short and checked out the following morning. The management refunded my money without any issues. If it hadn’t been for the roaches, that room would have been a nice place to stay since it was quiet.

It was an affordable, clean place to stay that allowed our pug to stay with us. My kids and I loved the pools and hot tub. The room was basic, exactly as described, but all we needed. The breakfast at the poolside cafe was delicious. We will definitely be staying here anytime we bring our doggy.

Took us 12 hours to get to the hotel. We drove with our special needs son, beagle and tabby cat. Get to the hotel at 8:30pm. Only to be told ESA ( emotional support animals) are not allowed on the property. We can bring our beagle but cat no. We got a refund and spent almost another hour or so finding a place. Thanks for nothing!
