The door would not lock all the way so I felt unsafe. The ironing board legs were broken. The TV had lines going across the screen so you could not view it properly. The comforter was ripped and torn and they charged unexpected fees

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.

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.

The creek running along the back of the hotel was beautiful. The office was closed upon arrival, and it was loud throughout the night as drunk people returned to their rooms.

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 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.

Check in was great and gentleman was very nice and informative. Room much have been just cleaned as it was very strong smelling. The floor was not cleaned. Took a shower and by time I walked to bed feet were already dirty. Spider webs with spider in corner of bathroom. Bed comfortable. Patio nice with chairs. Quiet. Close to everything.
