Excellent

It was amazing loved the view seen like4 bears there. Had a grate time. Pool is nice made us feel like kids again. Breakfast needs MEAT....but was good also. Will be back.
The only good things about this hotel were the wonderful front desk staff and the gentleman setting up the breakfast and the location of the hotel being right by the river and walking distance to the town.
My low ranking is this hotel is very very dirty in general. The room was cleaned okay but the premises, balcony, elevator, corridors were very dirty. The hotel was very run down. I wouldn’t stay here again
Property was well placed with a creek in the back with the balconies overlooking. Pool was refreshing. Lots of places to sit and enjoy the view. Room was spacious and well equipped with a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Location was also an advantage with being half mile from downtown. Also, the trolley stops right in front. Highly recommend.
First room we were givin was not clean , hair in the tub and thc vape left on the back deck . But … they did upgrade our room for free and the next one was very nice and clean . Really enjoyed our stay and will stay again another time .
The hotel was clean with all the basic necessities. But nothing extra. And for the price I guess that was ok. All fixtures and furniture appeared to be new. There was no closet in the room, which was weird, but they did have some hooks on the wall. The staff were super nice.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Great experience in the heart of the Smokey Mountains.
Beautiful scenery and a dreamy atmosphere with the balcony over the creek.
Very spacious and romantic atmosphere that reflect the mountain theme.
Closed to downtown.
Full amenities.
Ok limited breakfast buffet.
The furniture could use serious updates, sofa was very old and the bed was not very comfortable.
Nice hotel right on the brook with back doors to individual sitting areas on the water. Rooms were sufficient and clean. Hotel staff greeted with a warm welcome and were very helpful. Only complaint is the breakfast area no eggs or breakfast meats mostly bread items and pancakes. Overall stay was pleasant.
We had a great stay at Brookeside lodge! Friendly staff, large clean room. And the bonus visitors the bears! If your reading this please keep your distance and whatever you do please don't feed the bears! A fed bear is a dead bear and personaly i would like them to be around for a very long time. We really enjoyed our time at brookeside lodge
Staff is friendly. The property is outdated. Our shower floor was wobbly, from water being under the shower pan. The light on our patio was hanging down by the wires and not attached to the ceiling.
