"Staff was professional, quick and informative. Room was clean, beds comfortable. View from room was cute, continental breakfast. Parking was sufficient considering we stayed during Jeep week. Close to many restaurants, shops and the aquarium. 10 or so minute walk to all amenities. Very pleased with the experience. Would book again."

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed our stay at this Hotel. We were here for The Mountain Music Festival. We had a Great time. The hotel is excellent. The staff top knoch. We had a problem with a tv our first nite there but it was easily taken care of the next day. And management promptly took care of us with a resort credit, that was very much appreciated. This place is the best place to stay in Gatlinburg Hands down."

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Check in was fine. Room was clean and everything worked. Good water pressure and clean towels. Close to just about everything as long as you don't mind walking. My wife was down getting things from the car and a Black Bear was strolling through the parking garage. Seems to be a weekly event around here. She was freaking out. I thought it was very funny. There are "how to act when a bear is present" signs all around the property. Bring good walking shoes and enjoy Gatlinburg. I would stay here again! wife?................."
