Stayed at Zoders during offseason for first time after coming to Gatlinburg for decades. First of all the few negatives of Zoders. The location and difficulty of getting in and out of the hotel. Also if you plan on surfing the web it's got to be the worse internet connectivity in Gatlinburg. Now for the good which far outweighs the bad. The front desk staff was great. They were more than pleasant and accomodating. The hotel itself is super clean and the 2 double room we stayed in was a pleasant surprise. The stream noise outside balcony side was fabulous. I would definately stay again but probably would prefer our standard locations nearer the main parkway. But if you are looking for value and cleanliness Zoders is an excellant choice.

We were surprised at how nice the room was. Very clean and updated. Very romantic, and when we open the back porch door the sounds of the stream come pouring in. The continental breakfast is a weak, but we did not partake in it.

We stayed here in April, 2011 for four days and found it fine. Admittedly we like our timeshare better but for a motel, Zoder's is nice. It looks a little dated on the outside but the king sized room over the creek was updated and nice on the inside. My only complaint was no microwave in the room. We did like the free wine and kibbles each evening. If you want to stay in a motel rather than a condo or cabin, you cannot beat Zoder's.

Our three night visit at Zoders was all we expected and more. Our king room #116 was right on the stream, how nice to set on the balcony and watch the water rush by, so peaceful and relaxing even on the cool days. The staff was most helpful and courteous, they get an A plus. Our room was clean, plenty of linens and the bed was comfortable, all in all we had a wonderful visit. Our plans are to return to Zoder's on our next visit to Gatlinburg.
