Room was a little dated but over all nice. Mattresses need to updated were very uncomfortable sleep in.
Good stay with easy access to the National Park. Loved being next to the creek- it was like white noise. We did not have bfast since it started at 8 am and we were in the park by that time each day. Price was right for what we wanted.
Beautiful setting. The outside balcony was next to the brook. Easy access to the trolley stop right across the street. The room was a little older, but I felt that added to the atmosphere.
Nice quiet area .
Was disappointed with food offered for breakfast .Same food every morning

We've stayed at this hotel.many,any times and always enjoyed our stay. But the last 2nd visits we were put in the older section. Behind the office on the right.
Both stays were disappointing. We are well aware of the bear issues and the precautions to keep them from trying to get into cars etc. So we were surprised to find the bathroom window would not close all the way and we were unable to lock it. And the dead bolt was broken on the front door. Didn't discover either issue until after the office closed at 11pm. The breakfast was meager and unappetizing. Good coffee though. We are frequent visitors to Gatlinburg after 2 disappointing stays, may stay elsewhere. We enjoy the creekside rooms and fireplace, but disappointed how the facility has declined.
Nice older hotel. Room was comfortable
the breakfast was good.
staff was very friendly and helpful.
Easy access to the free trolly for trips to main street.
Brookside is a very unique and special place to stay. I love the fireplaces. I love the stream, and I like to open the door when I have a good fire going, so I can hear the water and the fire at the same time.
Will definitely be staying here again. The room was nice and clean, off the back balcony was a cute babbling brook, and there were breakfast lunch and dinner options all right across the street.
The staff was great. If you like the sound of rain, you’ll love staying here. The sound of the creek behind the lodge mostly drowns out the noise from the road.
Back door leading out of unit unsafe. No trash can in bathroom, no hangers, coffee pot not working, railing falling apart leading to second floor and exterior in poor condition. Carpeting in room disgustingly. Old and unkept property.
