Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"A very clean room. Helpful staff. Pretty nice rooftop bar. The balcony is a really nice touch."

Country Cascades Waterpark Resort

4/10 Poor

"The website describes the resort and waterpark as a place for “all ages” and family fun. Unfortunately, our experience did not feel inclusive or accessible for a child with physical disabilities. A staff member was not helpful and somewhat rude when we asked for an alternative solution. The resort itself was great, it was just the indoor waterpark that did not go well. When your four, that is a big deal."

RiverStone Condo Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our river view condo was very nice - listening to the rushing water kept with the Smoky Mountains vibe of the trip. The ducks, geese, and Herron were also fun to watch. Lazy River was also very nice after days of sightseeing and its cleanliness was much appreciated. Location was also very nice - close to everything yet not on the main drag which is very busy."

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

4/10 Poor

"I didn’t bring up the following shortfalls to the hotel staff at checkout because, a lot of times these type of things tend not to be addressed due to multiple reasons. Extremely loud and non efficient hvac unit. Room furniture very dusty and almost coming off its hinges (door that concealed the refrigerator). Balcony flooring could use some touch up paint. Housekeeping was asked to return in 15-20 minutes (at around 9:30) and never did all day. Called the front desk with no response to our request for cleaning or follow up. Next day still no housekeeping visit. Had to physically go down to the front desk and ask for it. $18 parking fee, which is a little much considering the size of the parking lot which is enormous. Should just have guest hang the parking permit on car mirror and that would let security know you’re a guest. Hotel is extremely quiet and far enough away from the main strip that it makes your stay easier. Staff is very friendly and helpful so the shortfalls were not that horrible."
