We stayed there once and loved it. Will stay again in the future. I'm glad you covered this place. You don't see many videos reviewing it.

You two peg my earlier life in the best ways! I spent my honeymoon at Maple's in the early 70s!

I like it and you can't beat the price! 😊😊😊 It has everything you need and it's clean! I've been in 4 star hotels that weren't asclean! I'm not joking about that either! 😊😊

This is the kind of motels that we like, with the 70's layout. We like just the two floors and the private entrance, and the fact that you can park your car in front of the entrance to your room. When I was a kid back in the sixties and early seventies my parents used to stay in this type of motel, it was usually a Ramada Inn. This is what my parents wanted and this is what I want but they are hard to find. But you can still find them mostly in the south. We stay at one that's beachfront in Myrtle Beach, and we stay in this type of Motel when we go to Florida or anywhere in the south.

Well I am vintage myself so I kinda love it. I would steer away from the stairwells but I would stay there. The price is definitely nice! The trolley would also be a major bonus to me. I would be coming alone but I will definitely save this video because I want Room 131. I love every single thing about that room from the little kitchenette to the balcony. It would be worth the extra money to me. Thanks for sharing this one. 🤩

🎸⚡My favorit decade is the 70's! What a great place to stay and the price is awesome too. TFS! Take Care!💐💜

Great review of Maples Motor Inn guys can't beat the price clean room and love the pool area. Especially loved the angel statue the retro theme how cool is that. Safe travels guys and enjoy.

I don't mind retro. The pool looks nice and I like the yard. $60 is great 😊

Another great vid…keep up the good work!

This is my kind of motel, when i was growing up my dad always took us on vacations and he never made reservations and he would drive til he found a little family motel usually in a small town...it was exciting if he found one with a pool...some had the magic fingers massaging machine...oh this video brought back some great memories for me..once in a pool i found a guys dog tags and i still have them and wonder if he made it back from Nam...thanks for the memories (bob hope)😘❤🙏🌻

Clean & Quiet!!? Sounds good to me! Those pillows were as flat as pancakes, though 😆 I'd bring one extra *as I'd use it to nap on my way there, anyways* 😉

Nothing wrong with retro. old school. Love the paneling. so many memories since my bedroom had paneling in the basement

Yep!1970's,I know it well!😄nice and comfy,bright and clean,the pillows were shabby-but at least they supplied more in bureau drawer... lol.Not bad for a budget hotel..has the basics,that's all you need and the price is right.Thank you both for another great video!✌️&❤️to you both! Be safe!❤️

We have stayed here 3 times and it’s been spotless each time. It is dated, but not a speck of and dirt anywhere or dust. The people are so nice too.

Hello from Gatlinburg TN guys!! Great job as always!! We miss you!🏞️🌄🐻

What a treasure this family owns! And "free breakfasts" arent really free.Thanks for sharing.🥰

Great review 👍🏻 the paneling looks so clean and like new really. It'd be cool if they slowly replaced the carpeting with wood floors. Its much more sanitary nowadays. We'd stay there for sure! Thank you 💛💛

Very nice place 🙏🏻👍❤️✌️

Very pleasant place. Enjoyed the video. Thank you.

I know this video is two weeks old, but I have to tell you a story! I started following you two years ago when I started dreaming about visiting Tennessee. I watched this video when you first put it out. Then I sent it to my son to watch. The place looks pretty decent to me and I am happy to tell you. We have made a reservation to stay there for five nights in November! Keep up the videos I’m watching and taking notes now!😂

What a great little place

My parents and I stay there all the time..Always clean and reasonably priced...thank you for the review..🤘

Tysm guys this seems like a great option and wonderful value! ❤

great show. thanks for sharing.

Love the review, glad to see a budget place to stay.😊

I would stay here. I would like to stay in the bigger room. Thank you for this review. 😊

Hey John and Bobby hope yalls day will be good me and my dad used to stay their back during the rod run and shades of passion car shows will be back in the fall for the rod run we have some new cars in our collection overall guys very clean hotel I like everything about it till next time take care

The furniture is shining.

We always stay at Maples Motor Inn! We love that you can actually open the windows! I've watched them do spring cleaning, they take EVERYTHING out of the rooms and clean behind the beds and dressers. This place is the cleanest motel I've ever stayed in!

Great video and review! Appeared to be very clean and well kept. It's reasonably priced as well. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this video! I love the quiet setting - even though it is a very busy area, you get a peaceful feeling. I did have a flashback to our house back in the 70s - the family room & my brothers' room had darker wood paneling! I was new 1968 but that sign made me giggle, so I am definitely retro now in 2023! The room is fine for what it is - I have stayed in many rooms like that to save money - mostly just for sleeping; I admit it looks like a retro room they'd use in a movie for a horror scene (especially with the squeaky doors and drawers hehe), but at the same time it is a cute lil room with all you really need. I love those benches! That is such a nice touch, and that pool was huge and very clean. I so love that they have a trolley stop!

We just stayed there for 5 nights just last week. And we were there in December for 5 nights. Highly recommend! Very nice, clean, quiet place. Can't beat the prices! 👍

That is a really cool place

Very retro but nice and looks very clean. Love places like this and love these retro hotel reviews! Keep them coming! Thanks guys and stay safe!😊

Great price for a nice clean room.

Loved this... brought back sweet memories 🥰

Nice hotel even if it’s retro! I like retro! Thanks for sharing the paper with their room rates etc for 2023! That was a nice thing to add in your video! 👍

Great looking motel. Love the retro look and clean is so important.

Thank you for another wonderful review! Very thorough and informative. Safe travels, you two. 💜

The car show people love this place. We have stayed there several times and enjoyed it.

I met the housekeeper outside & got what I needed & gave her my trash/towels. I stayed 3 nights. Thankfully I had a throw blanket in the car. The old scratchy blanket in the drawer was a no. I will bring my pillow the next time. I don't like flat pillows. I definitely would stay again.

Very nice and clean,roomy😊❤ Thanks for sharing 😊❤

Oh thanks so much for this video, it brought back lots of happy memories of staying in places just like this one in the 80s and early 90s with our children. Our kids loved finding ice machines which were really needed in Southern summers, but we had nothing like that in the uk at that time. Although the rooms are retro here the facilities are a huge improvement on the motor inns at which we stayed. There were always two queen beds, but the bedspreads were almost identical to these! Happy days!

One of my fav places to stay since discovering it years ago. I love the retro vibe, but more importantly a clean quiet room to lay down at night after a long day out. There’s a lot of overpriced dumps in the area so once you find a gem like this that has an awesome price you will definitely return

Gonna have to check this place out.Planning on spending a weekend over there soon.thanks for sharing ❤

The room didn't look too bad for being an older hotel. Nice price. I like that they have rooms with Jacuzzis. The mural on the back of the building is cool. Thanks for showing us this place. Have a great weekend John & Bobbie! 🥰

Ty for the review I’ve always wondered what the rooms looked like!!

Wow brings back memories cool

Thank you. I stayed here years ago when my son was small and we enjoyed it. and liked that it was walkable to fun activities. Will have to check it out again sometimes with the grandkids

What a nice place that's reasonably priced in that town. Gives you more money to spend on other stuff.

So glad y’all did this review! I’ve known about this place but never stayed bc I didn’t know how it really was! Looks great!!! Thanks!

I was 16 in 1972. I'm retro too.

I like the retro look. So unusual to see an actual telephone. You can’t beat the rate either.

A good review which I take serious enough to stay there when coming to pigeon forge.

Looks super clean and the grounds are kept well maintained..Price was good also😁

Jacuzzi rooms would be great for anniversaries honeymoon suites also Valentine's Day very affordable

Love it!

Blast from the past. LOL Definitely, old school, but it seems very clean and well maintained. Great review! 👍 Thanks for sharing ya'll. God bless ❤️ 🙏 ❤️

I love the retro look it reminds me of vacations we used to take back in the day. Also it seems like they have strict standards on cleanliness like a lot of chain motels used to. Now they are hard to find. Thanks for the video

Thanks for the review. I've never stayed there and all the years coming out but others have recommended it. Looks like a great place to stay home me make a short trip down to take Pottery to the store. We don't care about breakfast being provided either. Like you said, we eat breakfast out

What a cute motel. It reminds me of Days inn, in Pensacola we always stayed in. It was 2 level , but right on the beach .5 of us stayed in that little room, but so fun. Thanks for sharing!

Another great review on a budget retro motel .👍

Awesome!

Nice, but I would like it better if they took up that carpet. I'm liking the new trend of no carpet.

Very impressive motel, especially the clean room mandate. I stayed in many Waikiki hotels over three decades, and they didn't look as fresh and spotless as the Maple Motor Inn. The only things Maple Motor Inn needs to do, is replace the carpets and pillows. 😄 I am in L.A., and haven't stayed any motels, but I am sure they don’t compare to Maple Motor Inn. The jacuzzi room was very nice. It was a one bedroom for $100 per night. Senior apartments should be designed like that, except for the in-room jacuzzi.

Regarding the Wood paneling & such.. My parents still have it in their downstairs area. It feels 'Home-y' to me❣

Sounds delicious

Very nice

A great review guys. We always stay in Gburg at Oak Square but definitely will be checking this out. Thank You John and Bobbie we enjoy your reviews. Stay Safe guys.🤘🇺🇸👍

Very cool Maples Motor Inn Review

Looks nice and clean& great prices. Stayed in Miami recently and almost $200 a night for a clean safe room. Thanks again.

The first thing that I do when I get to a hotel is unpack. I hate living out of a suitcase.

Rooms are dated but who the heck cares...we're not fancy. We barely spend any time in the room when we're there anyway. I like that it's clean and cheap..on the river is a bonus. We usually stay at the HJ in Gatlinburg, but this looks like a good alternative. Thanks for the review!

It's cute

Impressive place for the price!

God's Word prominently displayed. Love it!

The price is certainly right and it looks very clean and very well kept up but I can't get past the bedspreads. I didn't think they were used any more. If I stayed there I would just wonder when was the last time they were washed. Other than that I think that it's a great option for budget travelers.

I'm in pigeon forge getting ready to go to dollywood

love the outside. The retro look is nice. My only concern is thr carpet. I have been in some thst smells very musty. I cant handle musty smells. It triggers my sinsus. I have checked in and left because of smells before in some places.

I prefer fancy hotels but I would stay in this hotels like this as long as it's clean

🕊

What Island is it you're talking about?? Don't know the area. I'd stay there in a heartbeat!! Melaney from SoCal

When in Pigeon Forge enough to spend money on save money at clean motel.

Bet that pool is pack now ,Cause it been hot like 2 months noe

I looked into this motel after watching this review. How did you book it? I can't find a way to book it on their website.

Like Hank said, when something is good, why does it change.

Where do u find the budget list

Sadly in my case no pets no problem.. I won’t be staying!! To many good places that do take them…

Is it ok to use videos from hotel websites on your youtube channel if you are promoting that hotel?

Nice hotel but will not work for me because I have 2 small chihuahua dogs.

can you pay by the hour? lol just kidding

To bad not per friendly 😢

Not worth the extra money

Thanks for this awesome vlog. We just changed our hotel across the street (which we like - LaBlanc) to this one for our Oct. trip. Got room 230 w/balcony, facing the parkway, fireplace and jacuzzi!!!! Would have never known about this hidden gem and we love helping locals. We always go out for breakfast so it’s nice knowing we are not having to pay for what we will not be using. Thanks again ❤
