Karns Vacation Packages

Bath very small, and everything is outdated.

If you're looking for a more affordable hotel room that can be your home base after a full day in Gatlinburg and the surrounding area without worrying about finding parking on the strip, this is your place (as long as you're ok with killing bugs yourself). If you're looking for a nice hotel where you can spend time inside with your family, this is not your place. Expedia says breakfast is included, but you probably won't want it. Pros- The staff was nice. The double queen room we stayed in had a nice amount of floor space, with a dresser/desk combo and a 2 person table. We liked the proximity to the Gatlinburg strip and that parking for our vehicle was included in the price. We walked everywhere along the strip instead of worrying about finding parking. Cons- There were parts of the room that they had missed cleaning. Our fridge set to the warmest setting froze most things we put into it. The tv remote didn't work. The shower floor seemed to have a bubble between the flooring and the base of the shower. We were on the second floor, which walked out to the parking lot, and the first couple nights we had to kill centipedes, millipedes, pill bugs, and ants that kept appearing in the bathroom. All of the units seem to be walkable to the Gatlinburg strip, but be aware some of them require you to walk up a very steep incline if you plan to walk. The included breakfast is a joke. There were greasy muffins, granola bars, lite yogurts, orange juices, oatmeal packets, and a keurig.

Pool was not open outside. Room floors were dirty. Our feet were black from walking around in the rooms. One elevator was inoperative during the Memorial Day weekend resulting in long waiting times for moving items in and out of our room. Balcony was very dirty.

This is our second time staying (family of 5). The staff is very friendly and the price is great. I appreciate the addition of protein to the breakfast! The kids enjoyed the pancakes and waffles also. The creek out back is adorable. The pool is neat. There is a trolley stop out front but the trolley app is unreliable (nothing to do with the hotel just a note) The rooms are clean, but I liked the rooms on the side closest the city better. The room we stayed in this time was fine, but not super functional for a family with lack of hooks and a trashcan in the bathroom and lack of a kitchette with a sink. There was a mini fridge and a microwave so we could prepare things in the room but some of the rooms on the property have a kitchen sink and a kitchenette. Maybe it’s described when booking and I didn’t pay attention. Overall a great place.

Was able to pay extra for an early check-in
