The Greystone Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"Location was great. Right by the tram & aquarium. Room was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was lacking some meat option & a waffle/pancake option., but what they had was ok. Staff was friendly & helpful. We would stay again."

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"The outdoor pool was right across from our room! It was very nice and the perfect temp!"

Gatlinburg Town Square

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay. We loved the activities they had around the resort. It is a little dated and needs some TLC but it was for sure not a deal breaker. I do wish the indoor pool had been heated. It was a quick 10 minute walk to the strip. The walk back was a little longer having to go uphill. There is a great little pancake restaurant across from resort. We would definitely stay again and recommend."
