    We stayed in the Home2Suites for our honeymoon in 2019 and it was definitely one of the best hotels we've stayed in. I remember not feeling good during our trip, so we did our activities in the morning and would go back to the hotel to just rest and relax in the comfy bed! The location is amazing!

    Great job on video. Our favorite is the Christmas Inn on your list. We haven't stayed at the others. The Christmas Inn runs a black friday sale and marks rooms down 30 percent. So if you stay like in Jan or February you can stay for 120 dollars. Great deal. 😎😎

    I have stayed so both The Hampton Inn and The Inn at Christmas Place. I wondered if you had the breakfast at The Christmas Inn is better than the breakfast I have had in any other hotel even rivaling that of the Hilton! I was surprised it wasn’t commented on. Very wide selection from an attended smorgasbord style serving featuring omelettes highlighted by their biscuit and gravy. A wide variety of breakfast sweets tops off the meal. It’s really great and is free for the entire family with your room! Enjoyed very much watching your other selections. Nothing beats the Hampton for outdoor variety of activities for the family. And as you say, their beds are among the best! Thanks for the review!

Would you recommend staying at either Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg for the entire time and drive to visit the other, or would you rather stay at Pigeon Forge for like 3 days, then move to Gatlinburg for 3 ect?

    We have stayed at several hotels in the Smokeys (all Choice/Wyndham chains cause I would use points for part of the trip) and well, all but one of them were complete dumps. I’m not gonna go on and on but it was so bad y’all. It’s incredibly disappointing to get to a hotel after an exhausting day of driving or at Dollywood to find that your hotel is not good. The Baymont on the River Gatlinburg is the only hotel that we liked. The only issues we had were that they didn’t have a handheld shower sprayer and that there is a serious lack of parking. Even the crappy hotels are $200+ a night and it’s almost like they can get away with anything because people need lodging when they visit. Our next trip we are staying at the Inn at Christmas Place because I vowed that we are going to stay somewhere nice this time. I’m hoping it will be worth it the price 😊

    This was a great & informative video. It was ironic to hear what you said about Home 2 Suites. Before we saw this video I looked them up for Memorial Day weekend and they are like $350/ night, and I gave up on it. We have stayed at other Home 2 Suites sites and they were great and affordable. Feel like Hilton is taking advantage of a tourist town to charge higher fees.
    We found a 2 bed / 2 bath condo with much more space at Big Bear Resort for way less money, so I feel like it’s not a valid price hike.

    I just got back from my Smokies trip and I wanted to let you know how helpful your videos were with planning. I stayed in three hotels while down there. I don't think your have reviewed them. 1st hotel was the Best Western Sure Stay Inn in Gatlinburg. I paid 62 dollars a night for a Sunday and Monday mid May. It was a newly remodeled king room and it was HUGE. It had a balcony over the creek. It was clean! Plus, it was right next to the park. Basic hotel breakfast. Pool wasn't exciting and it had the outdoor corridors but for the price I paid I was pleased! A bear also visits at night. We then moved over to Camp Margaritaville Lodge.It was fun but I wasn't blown away. My bed wasn't as comfortable as the Sure Stay. The staff there was really nice. It did have a festive vibe and a nice pool area. Price paid 115 per night for a Tues, Wed, Thurs night stay. No inclusive breakfast. We did have a tent room that my teenager liked. We then moved over to All Season Suites for Friday and Saturday night. Paid 149 per night. Lots of space with a little kitchen. Bedroom and living area had been remodeled. Bed was comfy. Bathroom sink area could use a remodel. It was nice to have the big fridge and eat a meal in. Staff was nice. Pool was basic as was breakfast. This hotel is pretty close to Dollywood. It would be a good place to stay if you were visiting there.

I also found quite a bit of wear showing on the furniture fabric due to the hotels popularity . My next trip was spent at The Hilton Black Fox Lodge , which I found was just okay . The Home 2 Suites really set the standard early on , but now , not so much .
