We got this room to go to the Gatlinburg parade. We usually just drive home but we wanted stay a night away for some couple alone time. The guy who we had to call to come to the office to check is in was nice. The beds were really small and when you laid in the bed your feet go up. The pillows are very small and flat. We ended up leaving and drove the hour home.

What a lovely hidden gem. All the rooms had balconies that overlook the creek so you dont have to worry about that. Check in wqs seamless and friendly. And let me just say those beds were the most comfortable beds ive ever slept in at home or in a hotel. Alittle sad i didn't spot a bear but thats not their fault

Property was somewhat rundown. Sink wouldn’t drain well. Small fridge was noisy. Pillows too small. Deck and stream were nice. Close enough to walk to downtown. Next door to a nice Thai restaurant

The balcony was so cute and view of the creek was lovely. The fridge worked well and the clean towels were nice. The tiles in the entry way were a little scuffed up but the staff was great! We'll definitely be back. It's right in Gatlinburg so very walkable to sites and downtown.

This little hidden gem is my favorite place to stay in Gatlinburg. The creek behind the property is soothing and this time of year the bear activity is abundant. Such a perfect place to get away, and the Parkway shopping is only a ten minute walk. Best of both worlds.

It was a very nice place to stay. Was within walking distance. In the evenings while relaxing on the balcony was able to see nature and had the chance to see a few black bears.

Hotel was close to everything, beds were comfortable, and the stream right outside of our room was beautiful. Only downside was the floors weren’t the cleanest, but everything else was fine. The reviews about the bears are true however you are in the home of the bears. If you go to Gatlinburg be prepared to see bears, don’t let the other reviews of the bears scare you away. The hotel was pretty nice for the price.

As always, Bear Creek Inn delivered! My favorite thing about Gatlinburg is the bears and they were beautiful and up close this time! The beds are super comfy, the staff knows me, and there is nothing negative I can say about this little hidden gem.

The Creek behind the hotel was wonderful. We really enjoyed setting on the balcony drinking coffee and listening to the creek run. There were several restaurants close by and everything was in walking distance. We will definitely stay again.

Had a Bear get in back of my truck and destroy brand new cooler!! Staff acted like no big deal. Also done heavy damage to a Suv on driver side . One lady took pictures of bear walking on second floor balcony and even filed police report!!

The hotel manager Greg B refused to give me his senior boss’s email, stating his manager lives out of state so he couldn’t give me an email - which makes no sense. I had very serious concerns regarding the behavior and lack of professionalism with the Hotel Manager. I was concerned he would enter our room in the middle of the night after being threatening. In addition, Black Bears are very comfortable at this property and walk up all the stairs to each floor, and are roam the property daily. The Hotel staff doesn’t acknowledge the bears being present, nor do they provide any bear safety information. The Bear Creek Inn is the only hotel property in Gatlinburg you will find horrible bear safety practices. This bear will most likely have to be put down due to the negligence of this staff. Horrid.

Seeing the creek was amazing it rained our whole stay seeing the water rise was loud and comforting. The bed and pillows were to soft for my bed not for me. There were webs everywhere just need to dust and mop. Not a bad stay overall.

The room was sufficient for our stay however the hotel is somewhat outdated. It is in need of some new paint, flooring and needs color. The beds were pretty comfortable but we had queen size beds but were definitely more like full size. One added bonus though was that we were visited each night of our stay by black bears.

Rooms were dirty and dusty. Especially the floors- Wear socks or the soles of your feet will be black! Rules to stay were given after check in. They only provide 2 towels per day. Toilet paper, and essentials are the responsibility of guest! INever heard of such! Night traffic in parking lot is quite suspicious. Beautiful hotels in the area for same price- Do your research

The room was pretty dark as the only lights in the bed area were the two wall mounted lights between the beds. Asked for a floor lamp but they didn't have any. No hangars on the closet rack so unable to hang any of our clothes. The room was pretty plain. Was fine for a few days but won't return with so many options in the area. No privacy from the balcony as neighbors were right next door and could peer down directly onto our balcony.

This hotel is pretty decent loved the location and price to the main strip where all the stores and restaurants are at. The balcony view was amazing to a little creek that the sound was extra calming. The only issue I had was that there was an extreme amount of spider webs in the balcony and no mater how many times we cleared it the next morning it’s back so I barely went out to the balcony and we did have one come in one night I tried limiting my husband going outside but he continued and a moth came in as well. The room was clean the only issues I didn’t like that they didn’t make the bed they only replaced towels and that the toilet is in a location that is slightly uncomfortable if your a plus size person. But I had a few friends see my video when I arrived and they were in awe of the view and how peaceful it was.

The room was very hot and must when we arrived. The floors needed to be moped, they were dirty so we didn't walk without shoes on. The balcony was very nice but also needed cleaning there were cobwebs in the rails everywhere and on the chairs. They need to uncover more electrial outlets you had to move coffee maker to bathroom sink area or across the room with the table to sit it on outlets had plates over them. They didn't replace coffee everyday. It was in a nice area very peaceful and walking distance to eating and shopping Needs a good cleaning.

Hotel was clean, staff was nice, at the price point it was a great place. I would definitely stay here again. The only bad thing I can say is bring your own pillow. The pillows on our bed were very small and flat.

Our stay was very pleasant. The surroundings were peaceful and outside of the touristy craziness of a half mile away. One comment: the floors looked like they were given a cursory mop. They could stand a good cleaning especially the sides near where it meets the wall. Also, check the microwave and coffee maker. Someone had overflowed a dish in the microwave and it had hardened. I cleaned that before i used it. All in all it was a very good stay. Thanks.
