"Our stay was pleasant, relaxing and the hotel is beautiful along with the views"

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and beds were comfy. The bathroom was clean and functional also. The Staff was friendly and helpful. They were short staffed so things took a little longer. The room we had has been updated. Keep in mind the property is old so there are things that need updating, like baseboards, doors, balcony furniture, etc. Clean room and being able to park my car for the week and walk everywhere on the strip was the Best!!! We will stay there again in the spring."

Comfort Suites Gatlinburg Downtown-Convention Center

"This was a perfect hotel! We came for our honeymoon and it’s in a great location to walk into town. The parking is a little tight on the top but the garage there was a little more wiggle room."

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

"The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The pool areas were amazing. The hotel was within walking distance to main strip and had a trolley stop right out front. We will definitely stay again."

Bear Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"hotel was great for the location. in walking distance to the strip and other businesses on the East Parkway side of everything. i did see a giant roach on the ceiling of the room that did freak me out, but all things considered, this hotel is great for the location, but i would maybe consider staying elsewhere or in Pigeon Forge if roaches are a concern to you and your family."

Indoor Heated POOL! Elevator! Memories for a Lifetime!

10/10 Excellent

"The home was wonderful. The pool was amazing. Only thing I would say is the pool area is very slick when wet. Several of my grandkids slipped and fell. And no they weren’t running. But the property was beautiful. Would stay again for sure!"
