Top Fort Fun Hotel Reviews

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

8/10 Good

"It would"

Brookside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Brookside Lodge for a short weekend in the smokies. We were greeted with the sweetest front desk staff and a thank you gift for staying with them. Our room was clean and everything was in working condition. This hotel is within walking distance to most attractions. It was quiet at this location and there is even a trolley stop right in front of the hotel if you’re unable to walk very far. We will be returning to this location on our next trip to the smokies. I would also like to add that out of every location we’ve stayed at in the past this is the only place where the pictures on the site are exactly what you get when you show up. Overall it’s a great location to stay."

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful room with great lighting. Bathroom was well lit. Overall we had a great stay."

Reagan Resorts Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed two night’s stay at Reagan. We loved that it was right next door to the convention center in Gatlinburg. I would definitely stay again. It is an old hotel but the remodel was evident. Would encourage pictures on walk to make it home homely feeling. Loved the covered parking area."
