Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Missed drive first time by hard to enter with traffic and pedestrians."

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"We had great stay staff was friendly and helpful! We had just two issues felt our room air conditioner was working as well as should room didn’t get cold enough for us Another the sink had a leak below. We did contact manager and they had some one take a look and try to fix it but they couldn’t so they switch our room and they gave us a food and beverage credit which I thought was really nice ! The hotel is nice and away from the downtown crowds which we appreciated and we got to see a young bear ans deer. Pool was clean and kids had fun with that. I just think the hotel needs a little lift and felt the dj ing was a little pricy but we ate outside downtown area and pigeon forge so that wasn’t the worst thing but other than that would stay again"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Gatlinburg, TN

8/10 Good

"Desk staff were very friendly and the room was sufficient. The only complaint we had was that the hallway carpet had a musky smell. This location is in the middle of the town, so you can walk to almost everything. We noticed that parking is tough the later you arrive. This is why we opted to walk to everything. We would definitely stay at this location again."

Holiday Inn Express Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and well-maintained. It’s very close to downtown and perfect for families wanting to explore Gatlinberg. The breakfast is fairly robust for a free breakfast — we ate there every day of our stay. Only downside is that the parking lot fills up quick and we had issues finding parking when we returned back later one evening. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay!"

Best Western Johnson's Inn Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Kinda noisy. Room was clean for the most part. Towels were stained a bit. Pillows were terrible. Staff didn’t enforce the pool rules and water looked dirty. If you have a pool facing room it’s a little noisy. Location is great and price is good. No bugs"
