[@adampender2482]

Thanks for this review. We can now add this to the places we'd stay at. Thank you to you and Bobbi for what you do. We count on your restaurant reviews. You two are like us in your opinions of menu prices. Again thank you.

[@jbinthehills]

This is a good location. We walked to the restaurants and shops. Thanks for watching. 😎😎

[@deborahmadden899]

I enjoy following your channel. You and Bobbi are very helpful for mine and my husbands trips to the area. We have learned a lot from you both. Places to eat, places to see. Thanks for all your hard work. Please keep up the good work keeping us informed! Your friends from WV

[@jbinthehills]

[@jbinthehills]

It was a beautiful view. Good price for the room. 😎😎

[@amycase7183]

I really love you you two! I quit watching other foodies that do in your areas. Bobbie is so beautiful! That hair! Your reviews are so in tune with my life although I am a few years older and a shut in. I really enjoy living life through you!

[@jbinthehills]

Thank you for the nice compliment. We appreciate you watching. 😎😎

[@Sunnyfl2840]

We stayed there in January. It was clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. No complaints. We didn’t have to drive, walked to everything in Gatlinburg. Would stay there again!

[@jbinthehills]

That's what we liked about this hotel we didn't have to worry about parking. Thanks for watching 😎😎

[@starphase1623]

I want to go on the Tram . I'll bet the views from up there are gorgeous. I'm doing my exploring by watching your videos . Thank you 💝🌷☺️

[@jbinthehills]

We would like to ride the Tram sometime. 😎😎

[@phrasedeyebro3255]

I’m humbled to think of some of the drab inns which greet folks into pigeon forge and onwards. And yet, When I was a kid, those would have been so magical. And here there’s this elevated experience so close and yet so far away if unaware. Thank you for publicizing Good things in life. Bless your channel.

Thank you for watching and commenting 😎😎

[@sonyamcbrain253]

I am so pleased to see you guys doing hotel reviews again. I was missing this kind of content. Happy Easter. God Bless!

[@jbinthehills]

We haven't done them because we stayed at the same hotel last few times because of the prices. If we stay at different one we will do it. We did them early on because we stayed at different places all the time. We will try and do more.😎😎

[@missybaker1608]

Everything in Gatlinburg is so inviting for a vacation! This ECONOLODGE IS BEAUTIFUL! CLEAN, NICE BATHROOM. Love the hairdryer! ROOM . Nice little place for kids. King suite! Like the fridge and microwave. Chair had nice accent pillows. Plus the view of the stream and Gatlinburg. Nice location a small hotel! $80 a night!!! Nice.

[@jbinthehills]

[@robertgilleland7188]

We have two nights reserved there in May. We have stayed there twice . They have been updating for a couple of years. Great location and affordable.

[@jbinthehills]

It is a good location. Have fun in May.😎😎

[@vafunseekers]

I agree Bobbie that the laminate/wood floor is much better than the carpet. The room looks clean and comfy. The price is reasonably priced for a hotel in Gatlinburg on the river. Nice detailed tour of the hotel and the surrounding area. The seating on the river is such a nice bonus. Really like the location too! David says the price will go up now after this awesome review! Everybody will want to be staying here now. Great job as always!

[@jbinthehills]

I am not crazy about carpet in hotel rooms. It was very clean. We loved listening to the water. Thanks for watching and commenting 😎😎

[@bamagirl6403]

Fantastic meeting cousin Eddie!!

[@jbinthehills]

It was very cool. He was so polite and friendly 😎😎

[@lindablair919]

It would be so relaxing to sit there and listen to/watch the water. Such a convenient location too. In the old days we would walk into a motel room and the clock would be blinking. I would have to figure out how to set the time and how to set the alarm. Then worry if the alarm would go off so I would also get a wake up call. It is so much nicer these days to just set the alarm on my phone and it has never failed!

[@jbinthehills]

I love listening to the water. It is so pretty and relaxing 😎😎

[@jandasalovich6469]

[@kerrolinad3020]

This econo lodge also owns the Chalet up the hill. Chalet has unique rooms and depending on which room you get, amazing views of Gatlinburg! Definitely recommend a stay. Pool is also great. Swim while you oversee spaceneedle and Ober tram. Again depending on room you book! Love you guys!

[@jbinthehills]

Thank you, and you are welcome. 😎😎

[@joannecollier8782]

I’ve never stayed there, and would definitely consider it, thanks to your review! As long as it’s clean, a few nicks and dings don’t bother me at all! The price was great! I prefer the places that have been around awhile, they have an ambiance that the newer, more expensive places don’t have. Another great review! Thanks!

[@jbinthehills]

We are never in the room except to shower and sleep. Thanks for watching 😎😎

[@marya31625]

I really wish this was the Econo Lodge in Pigeon Forge. We will be up there in August (this is 2024) and are staying at that E Lodge for the first time. I would have loved to have a tour of that one. This one is nice and I am hoping that one is too.

[@jbinthehills]

We have stayed at the one in Pigeon Forge several times. Great location next to the Christmas Place and you can walk down to Sunliner Diner from it. It has a nice indoor pool and picnic tables out back with a lot of ducks. Hope you enjoy it😎😎

[@NeoTemplar]

I always love the music you choose for the videos.

[@jbinthehills]

Thank you 😎😎

Thank you for another great review! That looks like a great place to stay and the prices looked reasonable. We usually stay at Howard Johnson on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge

We usually stay in the Pigeon Forge area, but this time, we wanted to stay in Gatlinburg for a few days.😎😎

[@robylove9190]

The room looked nice and clean. I don't go on vacation to spend all my time in a hotel room. As long as the bed is comfortable and I feel safe, that's all I care about. Thanks for the review.

[@jbinthehills]

That is how we feel about hotels, too. We get up early and don't go back inside until it gets dark outside. 😎😎

I think this is a nice little hotel. It was clean and nicely renovated. And yes that is a great added bonus having the the river right outside the balcony/ lanai great place to sit and enjoy the sounds of nature.

[@judyminton8227]

Great place for a night!! Like you , we are never in them long either Can’t beat that 84 .00 price

[@jbinthehills]

It was a good deal. There is too much to do in this area to stay in the room.😎😎

[@KathyS2464]

Not a bad room at all. Not having carpet is a huge plus for me! As long as it’s clean with a comfy bed I’m good, and that view is to die for! Wow, $84…not bad at all! Great job guys! Safe travels🙏

[@jbinthehills]

Very reasonable price. I didn't like carpet in hotel rooms. Thanks for watching 😎😎

Will definitely bookmark this hotel for our next visit. Love the idea of not paying extra to park…and being close to so much. The river is the icing on the cake.

[@jbinthehills]

The water was so pretty. We walked from the hotel to get something to eat and walked around Gatlinburg. 😎😎

Wow. I have never seen such a nice Econo Lodge. Normally they are dumps. But I would definitely stay at this one. Thanks for sharing a hidden gem. Those weekday prices rocked. Gorgeous views on the river. Loved the decks ECT plus walking distance to everything. Keeping that in mind if I ever get to go to the area!

[@jbinthehills]

The prices will go up in the summer months. The view of the water was beautiful. There are a few scratches on the walls but clean. Thanks for watching 😎😎

I have the same old phone and it is trying to die on me! Maybe I have not been paying attention... what's the name of the river? I am a fool (?) for ANY running water!! River, creek, stream, curbside runoff etc! I would love that place! Thank you for this review; almost like being there! 🥰

It is called the Pigeon River. It is a beautiful view. 😎😎

[@jbjacobs9514]

Don't take this the wrong way, as it is joke: Econolodge is halfway between beautifully remodeled and murder site. You can tell that room has stories. But they did a really nice job in the bathroom, re-doing tub/tiles, the fact that there are wood floors and not nasty carpet, nice "bedroom" area and the sink in bathroom isn't bad. The fridge is really nice and big (they are usually tiny and broken down - you know ALL about that!) and the microwave looks clean. I have used the nuker a few times if I am staying longer at a place. The river view is out of this world! I have NEVER seen that at a hotel or motel or even a resort! I am nervous on 1st floor but this looks okay.

[@jbinthehills]

We thought it was a great location and a very good price. You're right. Every room has a story. We thought it had a beautiful view of the water.😎😎

[@KentuckyGirl]

You guys make have just found the best kept secret in Gatlinburg. I agree no more carpet in hotel rooms please.

[@mangopilar]

It’s nice, that the both of you to feature hotels and motels off the beaten path. Instead going in town, especially in Gatlinburg that is more expensive due to being in downtown, in my opinion.
