Top Rainbow Falls Hotel Reviews

Reagan Resorts Inn

8/10 Good

"Close to activities"

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

The Gillette

8/10 Good

"The staff was the cream of the crop,"

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"An overall, good hotel albeit an old hotel, but then again most of the others in Gatlinburg are the same way. The parking is covered, but kind of tight in there. Location is good if you plan to walk around the downtown area without having to drive everywhere."

Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older facility and it shows in the rooms, but don't let that deter you. It's very clean, everything works, and the beds are comfortable. In addition, the pool area is very well maintained and super cool! All of the staff was very helpful and pleasant. There is no provided breakfast but there is a restaurant onsite, serving breakfast to order or you can choose the decent buffet for 12 bucks. In the evening it becomes a pizza/pasta restaurant. The food is quite good! The downtown area is just a half-mile walk down the street. A very pleasant stay."

The Greystone Lodge on the River

10/10 Excellent

"Greystone is a great place to stay while in Gatlinburg. It's close to the Aquarium of the Smokies and to Anakeesta, as well as several places to eat. Close to the Village and Pancake Pantry. Park your car and walk the streets of Gatlinburg. The hotel even has a resident black bear that splits his time between Margaritaville and Greystone pleasing tourists with his presence. Just stay back and don't feed him!"

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Great location to downtown restaurant and shops. Very easy access to hiking trails. Staff helped when asked how to access the closest hikes. Bears were around property. That made it so fun to see wild life from our room!"

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. Our view was lovely. The hotel had everything we needed. We took advantage of the trolley so we didn’t have to find and pay for parking in Gatlinburg. It was an easy drive into the Park do to some hiking. Perfect for couples."

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Rooms were as advertised. A bit rustic but nice. A few cosmetic touch ups would help but overall as advertised. We spent most of the time being tourists so the room was a good place to sleep."
