We had reserved these rooms in order to come to Gatlinburg and see the Christmas parade, in which my grandson was playing in the marching band. The rooms are older, but the beds were very comfortable. The heat was a bit confusing and hard to get consistent. My daughter had turned it on before we walked to the parade (about 2 blocks from the stoplight in front of Ripley's Aquarium) and when we returned from standing out in the cold, it was very warm. She turned it back down for me, fearing it would be too hot, and we ended up being very cold the rest of the night. In her room, she noticed that there was a very large gap underneath the door, and placed towels under to block out the wind. She said that the door needed winterizing a bit better. The showers were hot and had good pressure, although the shower heads are a bit short (fine for me, not so great for my 5'9 daughter). We did have to park on the other side of the hotel since all the parking places close to our room were taken. The pool looked very clean. The hotel was decorated for Christmas and looked very pretty, the kids loved it.

Overall, we did enjoy our stay, it was within walking distance to the parade and it was clean. I liked the location at the end of a dead end road.

My husband and I, along with another couple, did a five-day motorcycle tour through PA, MD, WV, TN, NC, and VA back at the beginning of October. One of our days put us in Gatlinburg for the night, so I came to Trip Advisor looking for a place to stay. I found the Kingwood Inn and I'm so glad I did! Everyone at the Kingwood was very friendly and the room was perfect for our needs - a place to shower and sleep, wireless internet and cable so we could monitor the weather, well-lit parking just outside the rooms so we could keep an eye on the bikes and not have to make multiple trips with the side and top cases. The room was clean and everything was in working order. We enjoyed being so close to downtown WITHOUT being right in the mix of things (the Inn is one block up and one block over from the main drag). The Kingwood Inn's location is one of its best amenities - close enough to the action, but far enough away that it's quiet! We will definitely stay here again the next time our travels bring us to Gatlinburg.

Just returned from another visit to Gatlinburg, and stay with Kingwood Inn. I have never had a bad visit here. Mary and the entire staff at Kingwood are friendly and always ready to make my visit plesant. I have visited several times now and It is beginning to feel like a home away from home. I have stayed at many other hotels in the area in the past, and although the Kingwood is an older hotel, I think it is wonderful, and my daughter and I both have laptops and had no trouble getting onto the internet IN OUR ROOM!!. If you are looking for the most up to date hotel with a big screen TV, then you won't like this one. If your looking for a clean, affordable, friendly atmosphere then this is the place for you.

We stayed at the Kingwood Inn Oct 20-23rd. We really enjoyed our stay! The staff was very nice and helpful. Mary was great! The room was clean and comfortable; great water pressure in the shower, plenty of hot water, clean towels & linen, bed was comfortable, the wireless internet worked fine with no problems, plenty of doughnuts and hot coffee every morning; the neighborhood was quiet and a short distance to the main street of Gatlinburg. The trolley pick up was infront of the hotel. I liked how the hotel was tucked back in it's own corner of the block. Absolutely no traffic noise.
We WILL stay here again and would recommend this hotel to family and friends.
