Sidney James Mountain Lodge

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good
"The stay was good for the money. I wished I had used the pools. The outdoor pool water looked clean. The indoor pool looked like a lot of fun. That will have to wait until my wife and I return. Don’t be concerned about the distance to town. Gatlinburg has a free shuttle with an app that is accurate at telling you the arrival time at your location. The food was surprisingly good and although the breakfast wasn’t free it was a much better tasting breakfast than the free ones, real food. The lunch was also quite good. I think it’s the girls that cook the food. Kind of like their still in there kitchen at home. What a convenience to be able to get something good to eat without going into town. I’m praising them so much, now I can’t wait to get back to Gatlinburg. Hope the fishing in the Smokies is better. LOL!"

"The hotel needs to be fixed up. My friends room has a hole in the bathtub and when she stepped on it, all the water drained. It obviously is not going down a drain, but under the tub."

"Everything was great except the balcony situation. They are right next to adjacent room balconies with no privacy. I would suggest installing some kind of barrier between them. We probably won't stay here again because of this issue."
