Floors had not been adequately cleaned forever. You only had housekeeping service, if you requested it, and if you needed towels and washcloths, you had to take your dirty ones down to the desk to get more.

Property was clean and we saw a bear twice during our visit! Located right near the trolley stop for easy access to downtown without having to deal with parking fees, or was close enough to easily walk also.

There were roaches in the bathroom and the staff was not very friendly. But other than that decent. We loved being by the creek and got to see a big black bear.

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

It was a very nice place to stay. Was within walking distance. In the evenings while relaxing on the balcony was able to see nature and had the chance to see a few black bears.

Overall great experience
Hotel was close to everything, beds were comfortable, and the stream right outside of our room was beautiful. Only downside was the floors weren’t the cleanest, but everything else was fine. The reviews about the bears are true however you are in the home of the bears. If you go to Gatlinburg be prepared to see bears, don’t let the other reviews of the bears scare you away. The hotel was pretty nice for the price.

As always, Bear Creek Inn delivered! My favorite thing about Gatlinburg is the bears and they were beautiful and up close this time! The beds are super comfy, the staff knows me, and there is nothing negative I can say about this little hidden gem.

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.
