Top Alum Cave Trail Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Gatlinburg Downtown-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent except the parking was a little tight"

Gatlinburg Town Square

8/10 Good

"We were in a 1 bedroom condo during our stay. The room was great, however there were a few things that need to be checked out such as the hairdryer/nightlight outlet didn’t work at all, had to dry my hair at the kitchen bar, the hand held shower didn’t work at all (yes, I pressed the button and tried adjusting the pressure switch on the handheld but that didn’t work either), and the water pressure from the overhead shower was kinda low. Other than that, everything was great!"

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The only negative news about the stay at Edgewater would most definitely have to be the elevators,.they take forever just to get from one floor to the next... Overall its a wonderful place to stay."

The Wander Hotel, a Ramada by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Nice property, could use some updating. Wallpaper was peeling, but would stay again."

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is up in the hills and is a great place to stay when you don’t want to stay right on the main tourist areas. The place has a cool “1970s Sci-Fi” vibe about it. The staff was really friendly and helpful! The rooms are great. Beds are comfortable. We had breakfast and dinner there and both meals were really good! The only complaint I have is the rooms are not well lit. Other than that minor issue, it was a perfect place to stay! The only people who probably would not enjoy staying there would be people afraid of heights or elevators."

Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We have been to Glenstone several times and really appreciate the cleanliness and staff. It just a few minutes off the strip and a very good value for the price. Pool was nice. Only thing I would change is for them to offer coffee in the lobby in the morning. Coffee maker in the room didn't work. There is a small shop off the lobby that sells coffee."

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"This is our favorite place to stay. Clean rooms, friendly staff and great amenities."

The Greystone Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"Good motel"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Gatlinburg Downtown

8/10 Good

"My review is only 4-stars because I was unaware of the $16 per day parking fee when I booked a 3 day stay."
