Top Downtown Gatlinburg Hotel Reviews

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean. Good location. Elevators were the slowest I have ever seen and even skipped floors where people were waiting."

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and beds were comfy. The bathroom was clean and functional also. The Staff was friendly and helpful. They were short staffed so things took a little longer. The room we had has been updated. Keep in mind the property is old so there are things that need updating, like baseboards, doors, balcony furniture, etc. Clean room and being able to park my car for the week and walk everywhere on the strip was the Best!!! We will stay there again in the spring."

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The room was much larger than most rooms in the smoky mountains and the balcony with the creek and mountains view were excellent. The shower pressure was unexpectedly pleasant as most showers in the mountains lack pressure. It was a great location one block from parkway."
