This is a cozy little place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The amenities are nice. The beds were comfortable and overall it was a great stay for the price we paid. There is a trolley stop at the hotel if you don't want to walk to the strip. You can ride the trolley free all around Gatlinburg and it will bring you back to the hotel. It runs all day, so it is very convenient. The grounds and little creek are so pretty. The room was outdated and could definitely use some updating, but it served its purpose and it was comfortable. The worst part was when people come and go, we were woke up every time someone was in the hallway. It is so loud, there is no sound barrier. After about 3am on Sunday it was over, we were up, there was no sleep. Overall for the price you pay, it is a great little place, just bring earplugs to help sleep through the noise of arrivals and departures.

Although this is probably the most I have had mixed feelings about a place to stay while vacationing, I’m going to do my best to make this review as honest, informative, and helpful to the visitors of Gatlinburg as I can. We booked our room months in advance which was a wise thing to do. Everywhere in town was packed and the Sidney James was no exception. We arrived early hoping to check in before the required 3 pm and the staff was very nice and willing to start our check-in process before our room was ready. They even offered us the use of the pool and cafe while we waited. More details on the pool and cafe later. We decided to come back in an hour and finish checking in, which we did. A tip for booking: whatever card you use for booking the room they will charge the morning of your arrival. Therefore, if you want to use a different method to pay for your stay call ahead and make arrangements. They assured me that they would work with you. It took a week for them to straighten out switching our payment methods once the charges were made, so it’s better talk to them beforehand. Once again, the staff was friendly and accommodating during this time. Once we checked in we went to our room, just as soon as we entered we could smell that someone had just cleaned it and it did look very clean even if it was quite outdated. The room was spacious for the price and it did have a balcony view of the creek. Beware after 9 pm no parking.
