Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kodak East-Sevierville

If you plan on sleeping, this is not the place for it. The ways the hotel sleeping room doors are designed it seems like you can’t close them quietly. So when you close your door it is loud. Until they change this, don’t stay!

We came up to the Gatlinburg area just for a day trip and wanted to stay close enough from town to be accessible, but not too close to be insane. This hotel was perfect.
Pros: Very comfortable beds. Rooms were were clean. The lady running the counter at the front was nice and accommodating. The free breakfast was the same as all other Holiday Inns. Eat the cream cheese bagel and a cup of coffee and stay away from the mcdonald-​ish sausage and eggs.
Cons: None really.
We have stayed in many Holiday Inn Expresses all through the central US and this was by far the quietest and most pleasant stay.

My wife and I say here every time we go to the mountains of Tennessee nowadays. We discovered this place a few years ago, not long after it had been built. The staff is unbelievably friendly. They will go out of their way to make sure that you’re happy, even at 2 in the morning.
The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are always clean as a whistle. In fact, the whole place is spotless. We don’t eat the breakfast (we’re Cracker Barrel nuts — and yes, there’s one nearby), but it looks good and it sure seems like a lot of people enjoy it.
Having a good bed is important for curmudgeons like my wife and I. When we get to the room in the evening, we want to SLEEP. Added bonus: this place is QUIET. You might hear a muted thump at night from a late-​arriving guest, but I’m a very light sleeper and I’ve never had a problem there. Another plus.
If you check in after 6PM, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to get Sandy at the front desk. She’s the best!!! :)

Stayed here last night, Comfy beds! A little musty mess when we came in but once the AC was adjusted it was fine, breakfast is for the birds :/​didn’t make it bc they stop serving at 930 but the Crack is right down the road
