sidney james mountain lodge2.5 out of 5 price was $1,251, price is now $654 per person $654 per person nov 12 - nov 17 found 1 day ago roundtrip non-stop flight included charlotte (clt) to knoxville (tys) book a stay at this business-friendly hotel in gatlinburg. enjoy free wifi, free parking, and 2 outdoor pools. our guests praise the pool and the helpful staff in our reviews. popular attractions ripley's aquarium of the smokies and great smoky mountains national park are located nearby. this lodge has two separate sides to it. we were in the rooms across the street so i can only speak for them. they are a 2 level motel feel. with very clean rooms. flipped the mattresses for bugs and saw none. has a fridge in room. microwave in laundry room below. our a/c was the "little engine that could" and by bedtime was freezing us. and had to turn up a little bit. love that!!! there is a small outdoor pool also. but across the street 2 minute walk to main lodge area is the indoor pool (stairway under construction as of june 2025) fire hazard??take the elevator down to pool and outdoor pool. there is an indoor cafe also but i did not eat there. i did see a beer bucket special which wasn't bad! my kids loved the pools and i was happy about them being heated! no continental breakfast since the cafe is by the pool. hotel is literally smack dab right next to the motor trail which was also very convenient plus trolley comes to the front door at check in every 30 minutes to trek you around town. reviewed on jun 21, 2025
