I read about a 100 reviews of more than 30 different hotels before choosing Old Creek Lodge. It was at the far end of the strip, but I liked that because we did not hear ANY street noise from our room. Our view of the stream was nice, even though across the stream was another hotel that had used it's... More

We stayed here for two nights as a mini vacation for our family (me, husband and 3 yr old son). Checked in and were pleased to find a beautiful, good smelling, CLEAN room. I worked in a hotel for many years at the front desk and management so I notice when things aren't "right". The beds/pillows were very comfortable. We... More

After my husband and I found this place in Gatlinburg he refuses to stay anywhere else. It's a jewel in the middle of hotels and motels that are dreadfully in the need of modernizing. This hotel is perfect in every area. The first time we stayed here we received a free aquarium ticket. The exterior is beautiful but, the interior... More

This is my favorite place to stay in 'Old' Gatlinburg. I stayed here when it was Fairfield Inn also, and it is improved........along with that is ahigher rate, but what can you expect? Pros -- I love the fact that every room has a fireplace, a balcony and is RIGHT on a stream with trees at your fingertips -- no... More

Upon checking into my room I found the toilet didn't work. Front desk came to my room and handed me a plunger and walked off. Room was not cleaned properly. Ice makers and pop machines did not work. I have stayed at this property for the last ten years under the Fairfield brand and felt I got what I paid... More

Stayed here several times when it was Fairfield Inn , we were excited that it had been "renovated". I was disappointed to find that the place was converted not renovated. The only changes to the place was the logs that were put up to make the place look rustic and mountainy. Cheaply made log furniture in the rooms. Fireplace in... More

My family started off by staying at another hotel but it turned out to be a nightmare. The Old Creek Lodge was just what we were looking for! The staff was pleasant, the room was nice and clean and having a stream to look at and hear right outside of our balcony just put the icing on the cake! We... More

Our visit started off a little rocky...the room hadn't been cleaned properly from the last guest. But the problem was quickly resolved and we loved our stay! The beds were super comfortable and the creek was lovely to listen to. The fireplace was nice and warm and the jacuzzi hottub was perfect for relaxing. It was a quick walk to... More
