Love The Appy. The staff is helpful, property and the rooms are always clean. Easy parking and close to downtown Gatlinburg. It is very convenient that the trolley stop is right by the hotel. I definitely recommend.

We stayed at The Appy Lodge last week for our trip to the smoky mountains. The lodge was beautiful with some rustic charm. The staff was warm and courteous and took care of any requests we had immediately. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools added to the stay. The breakfast options made it easy to start the day. The proximity to the mountains and the downtown made the stay even more pleasant and convenient. I totally recommend The Appy Lodge for your vacation to the smoky mountains.

The day shift front desk woman was not friendly or helpful. The evening shift man was great. Friendly and helpful. It was pretty clean. The property and pools were great. The room smelled musty and air-conditioner worked good, but was noisy. It was a great location and overall a nice place to stay. Hot tub was really nice too.

Hotel was clean, quiet, convenient, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great; everything fresh and clean, good quality. Only one thing would have made it perfect- small bottles of cold water or pitcher of water in breakfast area. Would absolutely recommend.
