"Staff was very helpful and breakfast was really nice. Would recommend this hotel"

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very comfortable and clean. Fantastic location to the Gatlinburg strip. Parking was included with the room as was breakfast in the package we chose. The food was good, especially breakfast. The view in the restaurant was amazing day and night. Every staff member we interacted with were very pleasant and helpful. Didn't have a negative experience with anything and will stay there again."

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

"This is the best place to stay in Gatlinburg. Located back away from noisy Parkway, Sydney James is located up Airport Road conveniently with a trolley stop bench out front to catch a ride anywhere in town. Clean rooms, pools, hot tub and attached restaurant. Very helpful friendly staff of locals."

Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

The Wander Hotel, a Ramada by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super friendly!!!"

Gatlinburg River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The view was amazing and the hotel was very close to downtown, walking distance but the hotel is not like the picture. It is very old and the rooms were very outdated but I did enjoy the stay and the views. Gatlinburg is beautiful!!!!"

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Clean Room. Clean beds. Accommodating. Easy parking Friendly staff. Reasonably priced to be right in the middle of Gatlinburg. Balcony was spacious and clean."

The Historic Gatlinburg Inn

8/10 Good

"For us, we enjoyed the experience, but it can depend on what you are looking for in a hotel. Room was clean and the washer/dryer on the first floor was nice to have. Breakfast was delicious, and location is phenomenal. Everything you could want to do in Gatlinburg is within walking distance. Staff is nice. We booked a room with a bed and a sofa, but instead we were given a room with only a bed. Three of us had to sleep on one bed. I can’t complain however, the room we were given had a huge balcony that wrapped around the side of the building and gave a great view of the city. I will say that while the hotel is clean, it does have the vibe of your grandmother’s house. If you want something more professional and modern, this place may not be for you."

Courtyard by Marriott Gatlinburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent
