Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and helpful staff. Clean rooms. Quite"

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second time staying at Park Vista Gatlinburg, great hotel beautiful view of the mountains. First time was city view and second time was mountain view enjoyed it most. Clean and friendly staff. Recommend this hotel. Trolley is available as well. Looking forward to our return."

Deer Ridge Mountain Resort

8/10 Good

"The air condition went out while we were out the second day. When we got back it was 80 degrees in the room. I called for service but no one was available to come out till the next day. Which was our checkout day. The windows had no screens so it was not really an option to keep them open . The next day I received a message with a picture of the thermostat showing it was 73* and they said there was no issue. Obviously it was an issue while we were there. I responded and got no response after that. The condo was great and so were the views. Unfortunately the last night was not."

Comfort Suites Gatlinburg Downtown-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel far away from the main strip that it was quiet at nights but still easily walkable to all the shops and restaurants. BE CAREFUL OF PARKING. The parking lot and garage are very tight. If you bring a larger vehicle, it's probably best to park in the lot next door (which is allowable). Rooms were very clean and beds were comfy. And lovely views, too. We would stay here again."
