We recently stayed here. It's an older resort but we really liked it for the price. We booked an creekside room with a balcony. It was nice to see the little creek outside our room. You could hear the water running. We had planned to fish there but it's only for kids 12 and under. It's a great place to stay if you have children. There is an outside pool. Also an inside pool with a waterfall and hot tub. Inside pool I believe it's for 14 and up unless with a parent so that was nice. They also have a small diner on site. We ate breakfast the last morning and it was very good. It's 5 minutes drive from downtown Gatlinburg and you can catch the trolley if you don't want to pay for downtown parking. The people that work at Sidney James Resort were very nice. We will stay again.

First stay in gatlinburg

Our only complaints are that the bathroom door in our room would not close all the way and the blue tile floor wasnt as clean as I would like. But the beds were very comfortable and we loved the view feom the private patio. Also, the pools and the cafe were great. Awesome food and everyone was super nice.

Loved the pools and hot tub. The creek flowing by the property was clean and accessible. The staff were great and everything was maintained and kept clean. Rooms are a little dated and they have removed the sauna, but still have a sign indicating that there is a sauna. This is deceptive. Fair price for the accommodations.
