Motel was great for the price. Convenient to the main strip in Gatlinburg. It was a little dated and was in a need for a remodel but for the price and convenience, you can't go wrong.

This Inn was a great find for us over 10 years ago. Unlike a lot of places you stay, this family continues to update this motel. Very friendly staff that is full of information! If you need something, just ask and they will help you as best they can. Lots of parking, and it's just a couple of blocks off... More

I really was surprised there are still family friendly and hometown family run places in one of the biggest tourist traps in the united states. I stayed there one night and I absolutely loved the proximity to everything; my friend and I walked everywhere and couldn't have asked for better service! I loved the water pressure in the shower and... More

We were very pleased with our stay at the Johnson's Inn. The location and price can't be beat. it was a standard, basic hotel room. It was clean and a bonus was that it had a mini-fridge in the room. Whether you're going to drive into the park's main entrance/visitor center or going to the shops/attractions it very conveniently located.... More

After deciding to stay another night on vacation, my husband and I chose the Johnson Inn to stay. We had been staying in a cabin. The Johnson Inn was very convenient to the main parkway and walking distance to everything in Gatlinburg. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Will be staying again our next trip!

We have stayed at the Johnson Inn hotel, and in one of the condos as well, and found both to be very pleasant. There were 4 adults and 2 children ages 5 and 7 in the condo and there was plenty of room, plenty of space for the children to play. In both the hotel and the condo, the beds... More

This was the best experience for a mid week getaway. The room was large and very clean. Location was in walking distance to Gatlinburg. Loved the balcony to sit outside and look up at the mountain. It was very peaceful. Staff were extremely friendly.

After reading the things adults put on TripAdvisor I don't think I will be checking anything else out. It's things like, decorator's day job sprucing up funeral homes to low wattage light bulbls to beetle bugs..I guess it's all in what you are looking for. I just want a clean,nice, cheap place to stay. These other things don't matter to... More

My husband, kids, and I stayed here for 1 night recently. The location is fantastic. We've stayed here before and thought it was a fine, basic place to stay but it wasn't very clean this time. The room itself was sort of musty smelling and there was a smell of urine in the bathroom. Also, the heater/AC unit of the... More

I am sorry that you found your room unacceptable during your recent stay. We are an older hotel but we do pride ourselves in the cleanliness of our rooms. We are family owned and operated and the recession the last few years has hit us hard. We redecorate and update our rooms as quickly as we can but we will... More

We enjoy staying at Johnson's Inn when we visit Gatlinburg. The hotel is located close to main street. Just park and walk. We walked to all of the downtown shops and Ripley's Aquarium. The price is reasonable and rooms are clean.
