Another great stay at Brookside for us! Was very pleased to see eggs and sausage added to breakfast in the morning. We had more than enough to get us started for the day. Stayed in the honeymoon suite again and we love the fireplace, balcony and big soaking tub. It is spacious and clean and gives us a cabin feeling without the high price or or inconvenient location. Staff has always been friendly. We had everything we needed to have a relaxing getaway, but I have no doubt that that they would have taken care of any needs we could have had. The only let down was that we didn't get to see a bear this time. We will try again when we return in a month or so!😀

Stayed many many times, really loved these rooms so spacious.. when we checked in I was informed there is now a $5 per night for parking when I asked when did start. The clerk said about a month ago 😞 I asked why and she said so they could Black drop and reline parking spaces.when we first started coming to brookside all 4 floors had ice machine then the first and third flór. This stay no ice machine worked at all when I asked they me they were all cut off but there was a machine in the pool house. So we will be finding a new hotel to stay.

Room was clean but someones bedroom slippers were left near the cabinet. No one ever came and got them after I called. They did bring a clean bedspread because one appeared dirty. My only real compliant was the beds were really soft. They need to replace mattresses. I would stay here again for the cost. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

The room was clean and the staff was very friendly. We loved our view of the creek off the back patio. My onlt complaint is that we were on the 2nd floor and the ramp to get upstairs was very steep and could be dangerous for elderly or handicapped people especially in inclement weather. I don’t think that’s something that could easily be changed, it’s just something to note for those who may stay here and to request a 1st floor room.

The property is in need of some updating and maintenance. There is no space in the bathroom to put a shaving, cosmetics or toiletries bag. Everything has to be stored outside the bathroom. One dresser drawer was broken and unusable. Water temp and pressure was good. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Breakfast is in a separate building in a huge room and the room was unheated, making our single breakfast visit uncomfortable. We drove into Pigeon Forge the other 5 days for breakfast. There is a downtown shuttle stop right in front of the hotel making it super convenient to get into Gatlinburg and avoiding having to pay $20-40 for parking. Parking at the hotel is $5/day that we didn’t expect. Not awful, not great and not nearly as expensive as the hotels in town.

It’s hard to find a nice place to stay near Gatlinburg that is also affordable. I paid more to stay here, hoping for clean and well-kept. Stink bugs, cob webs, peeling paint, bathtub enamel chips and slow draining, very sketchy elevator. Posted signs at breakfast are less than welcoming. Also charged daily to park in their lot. Motel is wanting a rustic feel, fell short from neglect.
