Top Downtown Gatlinburg Hotel Reviews

The Resort at Governor's Crossing

4/10 Poor

"The staff was great. The room smelled like cigarettes and must .. our friends room as well .. it was along week"

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for those who want the amazing Smoky Mountain views with modern, updated accommodations. A rustic stay isn't my cup of tea so I was beyond happy with my stay here. The hotel staff were courteous, the room and view were beautiful, and the location was just at the end of main street so a lot of attractions/stores/entertainment were in close proximity and quite walkable. Highly reco this property and I'll look for other IHG properties in future."
