#2 of 7 hotels in East Parkway by Axel's take. East Parkway is #4 of 6 places to stay in Gatlinburg. The best hotels in East Parkway, ranked · Where to stay in Gatlinburg

Axel's take: 8.0/10

Creekside character and friendly staff make up for uneven, aging rooms. a no-frills creekside motel with cottages and family suites, scored for what it is.

Carr’s is a no-frills creekside motel with cottages and family suites, and a good pick for travelers who prefer outdoor space to polished interiors. The Roaring Fork setting is the draw: creekside seating, grills and selected rooms with waterfront balconies. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, comfortable beds and the location away from the main drag. We’d consider it for a budget-minded Smokies stay, especially with a kitchen-equipped unit.

The catch is inconsistent upkeep. Many guests report clean rooms, but dated furnishings, small bathrooms and occasional housekeeping or dampness complaints make the exact unit worth checking. Bears frequently visit the grounds. Booking.com lists the outdoor pool closed September 15, 2026–May 1, 2027. Skip it if you want modern finishes, predictable room quality or everything downtown immediately outside.

  • Best for: budget-minded couples; families wanting kitchen-equipped units; travelers who enjoy creekside downtime

  • Watch out for: uneven room condition and upkeep; outdoor pool closed until May 1, 2027; frequent bears around the grounds

  • Location: On Roaring Fork, away from the main drag, with nearby restaurants and trolley access.

  • Rooms: Motel rooms, cottages and suites vary; confirm the kitchen, creek view and stairs for your unit.

  • Cleanliness: Generally positive feedback, tempered by some recent housekeeping and dampness complaints.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful front-desk staff are a consistent strength across review sites.

  • Amenities: Creekside seating, grills, playground, laundry and Wi-Fi; outdoor pool currently seasonally closed.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking is free; no elevators, pets prohibited, and cancellation terms vary by booking.

Axel's take

a no-frills creekside motel with cottages and family suites

8.0/10

Creekside character and friendly staff make up for uneven, aging rooms.

Carr’s is a no-frills creekside motel with cottages and family suites, and a good pick for travelers who prefer outdoor space to polished interiors. The Roaring Fork setting is the draw: creekside seating, grills and selected rooms with waterfront balconies. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise helpful staff, comfortable beds and the location away from the main drag. We’d consider it for a budget-minded Smokies stay, especially with a kitchen-equipped unit.

The catch is inconsistent upkeep. Many guests report clean rooms, but dated furnishings, small bathrooms and occasional housekeeping or dampness complaints make the exact unit worth checking. Bears frequently visit the grounds. Booking.com lists the outdoor pool closed September 15, 2026–May 1, 2027. Skip it if you want modern finishes, predictable room quality or everything downtown immediately outside.
