The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg
The room was clean with a great view and the hotel overall was nice. We loved being able to use the trollies rather than driving to downtown. The beds/pillows were sub-par and not that comfortable. The hotel food wasn't that good and very expensive.
