Quality Inn & Suites Gatlinburg

Scene

Mountain hotel with simple and modern interiors

Apart from the beautiful mountain setting, Quality Inn & Suites Gatlinburg doesn't look like anything spectacular from the outside. The interiors are a lot more cozy and welcoming, with simple and modern decor. The lobby is small and formal, with wood laminate flooring, wooden reception desk, small business center in the corner, free coffee station, two elegant high-back chairs, and mountain-themed artwork on the walls. The outside of the hotel features strips of stone walls and red-fenced balconies. The breakfast room is quite plain in decor, though it includes a corner fireplace which makes for a cozy setting in the winter months. Overall, the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed, though some guests have complained of noisy dogs (as this is a pet-friendly property). The hotel attracts mainly couples and families, with a few business travelers passing through.
