Top Traffic Light #1 Hotel Reviews

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is on the older side but has been kept up well. The hotel itself is the staple of any picture taken of the city of Gatlinburg as it sits atop of a large hill in town. We stay there recently and were surprised to find out that since our last stay a few years ago, you are now charged $ 20.00 a day on your card upon check out for parking. In our room you could hear the sliding doors to the room above us open and close , but not a deal breaker. Overall the Park Vista has most of the amenities that you will need. A nice hotel at a reasonable rate with fantastic views."

Gatlinburg River Inn

10/10 Excellent

Brookside Lodge

"This hotel is in an excellent walkable location. The property is relatively basic but well maintained. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There was a free breakfast but we did not partake in it. The pool looked clean and well maintained. My traveling companion was on crutches and would say for people who have difficulty with mobility stay closer to the front of the property."

"Getting downtown was very walkable. The bed was super comfortable. There was a Kureig coffee maker but no K pods . You can hear pretty much everything out in the parking lot. So if you have a hard time sleeping, bring a white noise machine. I would stay there again."
