Top Downtown Gatlinburg Hotel Reviews

Wilderness at the Smokies – River Lodge Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Wilderness at the Smokies is a great place to stay for families. My family truly enjoyed the water park."

River Edge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean. We loved the wood floor in the room. The room was clean. The staff was very friendly. We liked that the hotel was off of the main road but still within walking distance of many places on the main road in Gatlinburg. The breakfast was quick on-the-go type food that worked well for 2 out of 3 of our mornings there. We decided to go to a restaurant as we left town on our last morning and have a big breakfast meal."

Hilton Garden Inn Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location has mountain facing views. Parking is 15 a night however the downtown area including aquarium and Anakeesta is walking distance so you save those parking fees. Room very roomy had a fire place super cozy. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Across the street is a river so pretty and you can walk next to it. Also the sky lift is even closer so book and enjoy!"
