Belle Aire Motel

it could stand to be cleaned up in front of the rooms. there were old cigarette butts and dead plants in front of the rooms.

You’re only staying here for its proximity to the strip. Everything about this place sucks. The bathtub still had hair in it, the room stank, tons of broken furniture. The only positive is that the bed was comfy.

Not was horrible dirty no pool no breakfast would never stay there again ever

It took forever to get checked in

Overall, I think this place could be an absolute gem without too much money. It's in a TERRIFIC location - close to the parkway, but far enough away to feel peaceful. It's on the end easiest to getting into the park. There is food a short walk away. It could have a cute/groovy retro vibe, but it looks like no one has cared about it in so long, but they just let it limp along. First, there was no one attending in the lobby - it was locked and empty. There was a sign with a number to call for "check in or emergencies." That said, it was very easy to check in and get a code for the door. But it's weird to know there is no one on site. I've never experienced that before, and I didn't love it (althought nothing bad happened). I think whover is managing it is doing so with multiple properties, and in this economy, I think they are making the right choice to save money. BUT-with some interior choices like paint and artwork, this place could be seen as more cool/retro and "nice" than it is. The photos in the ad are obviously of the nicest, best room, but our was much more drab. Small things: Our faucet needed a new aerator and the door of the bathroom was pretty beat up. Weed smell. Oldl wood paneling was in great shape, but could have been upgraded with a color wash or paint. Overall, it felt drab, tired, and ignored in there, which gives you a "stale" feel while you're there. Exterior maint. a must. Plus: large minifridge, microwave, TV, Internet -all good. It could be amazing.

We chose not to stay. There were many safety concerns and the room had a strong smell of mildew.

Just very quiet peaceful clean and close to downtown gatlinburg

Very clean and friendly and it was in a nice quiet area

I had to call a number to check in. It rang for close to 5 minutes before someone finally picked up. After a 12 hour drive i just wanted to get into my room.

The door was taped. Door was completely broken. Room smelled like there was mold. Floor was not vacuumed. The bed was hard as a rock. Desk clerk was even in the office when we arrived. You had to call a number to check in. The clerk acted like I was the problem when I didn’t want to give my credit card for there $1 holding fee. Very sketchy. You could barely understand what he was saying. The lobby what you could see looked like a dump. Multiple missing light bulbs. 4 bags of trash just setting behind the counter. The only marking lot had no light. More holes in the parking lot than Swiss cheese. It had rained so our feet were soaked because you couldn’t tell where there was water an not. Because the parking lot was not lit. We had to get another hotel because of how gross this hotel was. Will not ever return.
