since you stated w/i driving distance, anyone recommending that you fly off to southern Cal or Fla just to use your certs over a weekend isn't worth listening to ............
While the FS Marriott in Knoxville is an easy drive to Gatlinburg in the off-season, traffic is a bear when the tourists are there. It's also not in a very safe area in my opinion. We steer visitors to west Knoxville instead, which would add to the commute.
The Sevierville Fairfield would be a good option in low to medium traffic times.
