Econo Lodge,

1149 Smokey Mountain Lane, Newport, TN 37821

"The room is very large. It also has high ceilings. The bathroom has a new vanity. It’s very pretty. Everything else is pretty much older but the bed is comfortable and the lady at the desk is genuinely friendly. I’m just passing through but I definitely recommend this hotel."

"We were staying in Pigeon Forge the week of Christmas to go to Dollywood. By the 3rd day the prices had gone up quite a bit in that area. We found this Econo lodge about a half hour away. The drive was very easy. The hotel was fine, Steve at the desk was very accommodating, breakfast had a good assortment. Our room was one of the older ones but my mother in law had one of the updated ones which she loved. Turns out we were also by the Bushes Baked Bean factory which we ended up visiting and loved it. I am so glad we found this little affordable gem which was perfect for our needs. We will definitely be back if we are in the area again."

"I often overlook places like this. But we broke down on the side of the road and had very limited options. However, this place exceeded anything I could’ve imagined. Your immediately welcomed with clean smelling air upon entry. The rooms were clean, smelled clean, and had nice clean fluffy towels and clean bedding. We stay at many many hotels, and this motel is better than some of the mainstream hotels we often stay at. If you’re in the area, it’s safe to stay there."

"Room is terribly dirty, stains everywhere. Glad I brought my air mattresses to sleep on. Will never visit again. Terrible service as well. I've ordered 15+ different hotels over the last 5 years and not one single issue using Expedia. Took an hour to check in because Econo Lodge said I didn't have a reservation yet I proved to them anyways I paid for 6 nights and showed them. Spend an extra $100 a night elsewhere if you have too"

"Bed and pillows were fantastic!! I really don't have any complaints with this hotel other than the cleaning stuff they spray is overpowering and the bare floors will turn your feet black... other than that no problem, I would stay again"
