Hilton Garden Inn Pigeon Forge
Really enjoyed my stay and the room was wonderful, except for some reason my room card had bbq sauce on it and the hot water only made it to warm. Other than that I would’ve given a 5 star rating. The hotel itself was beautiful and the beds super comfy

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.

Family trip and we loved our suite in every possible way. The place looked amazing, easy to check in, great view from the balcony. They have everything you need (towels, kitchen utensils, fireplace, etc) I really recommend this place. Will definitely visit again.
