“I LIKE IT! I LOVE IT! I WANT SOME MORE OF IT!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

I have stayed at Carr's for the past 14 years. The service is fabulous. There is always fresh made coffee in the office. Each room has 3 beds and a sleeper sofa, Tv, kitchen area, bathroom and living room area. I have never stayed in a better place. It is worth every penny. I would recommend it to a friend in an instant. You can hear the Roaring Fork Creek which is located right in front of the motel/cabins. Pool is always open. The hot tub is great. It is in walking distance from Downtown. Gatlinburg. Nice little resturaunts in walking distance. Can book your reservations on the 1st of the year. Now you can book several years in advance. It is a must stay place for any Gatlinburg goer.

“Family tradition”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

person found this review helpful

My family and I have been coming here as long as I can remember. In fact, I now bring my kids here. This place is not a luxury facility, however, it's a perfect location to downtown Gatlinburg; it's right along a creek; it's private.

Room Tip: Pick a room along the creek

“"A New Tradition"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

people found this review helpful

My fiance and I have started a new tradition of celebrating New Year's in Gatlinburg, Tn. While visiting Carr's for the first time this year, we have decided to added them as part of our tradition, also. We had a great experience. The room was clean, the staff was courteous and I can't forget how economical the rate was,especially during the holiday season. I would recommend this motel to anyone.

“Worth it!”

the hotel was clean and the staff were friendly! The only drawback was that it was rather far from downtown Gatlinburg, that is walking of course.

“Good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

person found this review helpful

If you are looking for a clean and roomy place for a very reasonable rate, this place is for you. Our room was clean and spacious. The staff was courteous and helpful.

If you are looking for new furnishings and updated wall coverings or bath fixtures, I would not recommend this. All these were clean and adequate, but they were dated.

My only complaint was that we arrived on a very cold day in December and it took the heater a LONG time to warm our room... it was over four hours after our arrival before we started taking our coats off. Fortunately there is much to do in Gatlinburg while you're waiting!

Overall, a great value - we will be back.
