We did not have any maid service, said it was still due to covid. The place could use upgrades, but the view was beautiful. It made up for the room, it's wasn't the nicest place I've stayed but it was OK.

Very private. Comfortable beds, but flat pillows. Nice kitchenette, but no coffee. Some fireworks or gunshots at one point was a bit scary, but overall good stay.

I absolutely loved sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee while enjoying the riverview. Staff was friendly and helpful. I really liked that our suite had a wall separating the bedroom from the living room/kitchen, which gave it a more spacious feel. We also enjoyed the fireplace inside the living room which we used every day.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Carr’s. I kinda gambled and made this reservation based on the reviews and I was not disappointed. This is an older motel that has been freshly painted and new flooring installed. We enjoyed listening to the creek from our balcony. This is a no frills motel that is quaint, clean and off the beaten path. In terms of walking distance to town, I would not advise it. There is a very steep hill going into the property that makes walking to town almost impossible. We would easily stay here again.

This is a great 5 star, 3 star hotel. By that I mean that this hotel of course isn’t your typical 5 star hotels with all the bells and whistles, but it’s exactly all you need for a nice comfortable stay. Beds are comfortable, bathroom is what you would expect from the pictures. If you’re not picky and just want a place to shower and sleep, this is your place. The workers are polite and check in is smooth and easy. Would definitely stay again. No complaints.

We enjoyed our stay very much--first time in the Rockies. The staff were friendly and the room was clean. The room itself is could use some renovating.

Rooms need a deep clean - the area is nice and the hotel could be wonderful if updated and cleaned

From the pictures we were expecting a semi secluded cabin. It is situated amongst other rentals and privately owned properties. However, our stay was pleasant and our cabin comfy. Walking distance to downtown saving us daily parking fees. Also, for added bonus, visited by a momma bear and cubs daily!

The description for room stated it was a cottage. It was not even close to being a cottage it was more like your atypical hotel/condo. It was pretty outdated. Almost every set of blinds was broken. It was just okay, walking distance to the strip, quiet and right next to the water.

This is an older motel that we’ve stayed at multiple times beginning about 20 years ago. Furniture is retro, put the place is clean and staff were friendly. It’s peaceful and off the strip so your able to
Unwind and relax!

Unit 501B had bed bugs, and the lobbyist was friendly but her manager was really no help, saying that we would have to contact Expedia for a refund (Expedia was wonderful during all of this!) and did not offer an apology or ANYTHING. This was midnight after driving 4 hours and we were just plain tired. Not a great start to a trip.

Rooms were clean river accesable short walk to downtown

We had a large apartment style suite with plenty of room. Bathroom had been updated and plenty of hot water. Could use some updating but we enjoyed our time there very much.

One night stay for trout fishing. Friendly staff, clean rooms, quiet.

Weak shower pressure. Plenty of space in room. Refrigerator. Quiet area. Parallel to hustle and bustle. Did have to drive everywhere. Near Alamo steakhouse. Near Food City for groceries. Near Mad Dog's for ice cream. Near Geno's for pizza. Near Gas 'n' Go for fuel up. Adequate bed comfort (when tired, anything works). No frills, older. Stayed in cottage not the hotel portion. Multiple entries to property (a maze). Loved the balcony creek view and sounds. Peaceful. Room decor was cozy bear designs.

The property was a little older but I didn't care a bit. The room was rustic, comfortable and quiet. There were 2 La-Z-Boy recliners, which was wonderful because I often sleep in a recliner due to lower back problems. We had a small kitchen with a door that opened up to a little balcony/patio area that looked out onto a creek. Where we were, the water was running a little faster and the sound COMPLETELY drowned out the traffic noises and we found it very relaxing. We stayed 3 nights and I would absolutely stay again and try to get the same room!

Carr's is a quaint atmosphere with rooms overlooking creek area for cookouts, firepits and enjoying the sounds of the water.
It is located a short walk from downtown Gatlinburg.
Rooms are not perfect but that is part of its charm. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make your stay great. Their pricing is wonderful!
If your all about "keeping up with the Jones", this place is not for you! If your looking for an opportunity to spend time out by the creek with your family and don't care about perfection in a room, this is for you.
A very affordable place to stay! We will go back!

We stayed at Carr’s three nights. This is an older property but the room was large and clean. We enjoyed the balcony overlooking the river and the riverfront seating just outside our room. It’s close enough to the craziness of Gatlinburg to walk and far enough to be away from the noise and traffic. Close walk to restaurants. The staff was welcoming and had great suggestions for us.

Friendly staff. River in the back yard. The unit was a little outdated, but well taken care of. We would stay there again.

It's a throwback to the old motel and cottages that aren't so common anymore. The property is set by a rushing mountain stream with with quaint, clean and cozy rooms away from the noise tackiness that Gatlinburg has become.
3.0
Older rustic motel. Basic. Efficient and pleasant check in. Great river view. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit on the river’s edge in 57 degree weather at 8 pm in mid-February. Comfy chairs provided at fire pits and on room balcony overlooking the river. Beds were comfortable and it was quiet. Great value for the price. Will stay again!

We stayed a cottage. It was perfect for a girls weekend. It was very tidy and had everything we needed.
3.0
We really loved staying at Carr's. The 2 bed cottage on the creek was absolutely perfect! We fell asleep each night with the rippling of the water. It was so peaceful and very private. The cottage had a nice mini kitchen that had enough of everything for us to make our own meals when we didn't feel like going out to eat. It was very cozy, clean and overall pretty comfortable. The only thing that could have been better was the mattress and the pillows. The pillows are a bit too large (maybe new?) and left our necks a little stiff. Other than that, we had a wonderful time! I would definitely recommend this place and stay here again.

This place was convenient to downtown Gatlinburg. Checking was easy. It was clean for the most part and we enjoyed our night stay there. However there was no breakfast served other than coffee so just be aware of that.
