Top Clingmans Dome Hotel Reviews

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."

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"The room we had, even though it was older, still was clean. We even had the creek view from our patio so that was beautiful. Staff was very helpful . Would suggest more gluten free and dairy free options but overall , it was a good stay."

Comfort Suites Gatlinburg Downtown-Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Everything is nice, except the parking."

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

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."

Brookside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay"

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is located along the river and directly adjacent to the Gatlinburg main strip making it a perfect choice. The Edgewater is one of the best maintained hotels I have visited. The front desk staff was wonderful and accommodating. The room was so nice, neat and clean. Although we did not make use of the pool area it looked very inviting. The morning breakfast was very satisfying. Definitely a place I would stay again."

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The interior of the hotel was fine, but our balcony had some gross stagnant water from the a/c unit above dripping water on it and it doesn’t run off, just pools up. The exterior of the hotel needs some sprucing up and the outdoor furniture could use some fixing up as well. Overall, it’s a beautiful place to stay and the trolley service coming right up to the front is extremely convenient. The food was excellent, both for breakfast and dinner."

Gatlinburg Town Square
