The Howard Johnson in Gatlinburg is unbeatable for the price.The maids were very helpful, nice, and respectful. Super close walking distance to all the attractions in Downtown Gatlingburg and less than 5 minite drive from the National Park. Everyting in the room was up to standards, very clean, good water pressure. spacious and comfortable overall. Also all the cable and streaming channels one could ask for. The only negatives were that the mattresses were a bit hard and uneven. Also, some of the guests were a bit unruly in other rooms at night time, but not at all a reflection of the hotel quality itself. Would stay again and highly recommend to others.
