Top Great Smoky Mountains National Park Headquarters Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We got into town around 9pm, and left the next morning to head into the park, so we were not able to take advantage of the amenities, but everything we saw and experienced during our short stay was very nice. The hotel is convenient. We walked straight into town to grab a late dinner. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly. On-site parking was readily available. In addition to their rooftop restaurant, they have a Starbucks within the hotel lobby. The rooms were nice and clean."

River Edge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very understanding about pets. Not really a breakfast, just like snacks"

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing. Will for sure stay again"

The Wander Hotel, a Ramada by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Excelente ubicación, tranquilo y seguro."

Hampton Inn Gatlinburg Historic Nature Trail

10/10 Excellent

"**Rating: 5/5 - Exceptional** **An Unforgettable Gatlinburg Stay!** We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway in Gatlinburg! From the moment we stepped onto the property, it was clear that no detail was overlooked. The facilities are absolutely beautiful, blending modern luxury with classic, cozy mountain charm. One of our biggest pet peeves when traveling is lukewarm amenities, but this place nailed it. The pool was properly heated and perfect for swimming, even during cooler mountain evenings. The hot tub was actually hot—not just warm—which felt incredible after a long day of hiking in the Smokies. The outdoor common areas are top-tier. Gathering around the amazing fire pits under the stars was easily a highlight of our trip. The food on-site was amazing—fresh, flavorful, and genuinely rivaled some of the best spots in town. Best of all, everything on the property was in excellent working order. From room appliances and fireplaces to water pressure and Wi-Fi, not a single item gave us trouble. The staff clearly takes immense pride in maintaining a flawless, spotless experience for guests. We’re already planning our return trip. 10/10 recommendation!"

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"The rooms were nice and big and the bathrooms were also very large. The shower was amazing. The only thing I have negative to say is not about the property but just one single staff member, I don’t even know his name but he was a night manager and also did the valet at night. He overstepped his role off the property and then questioned members of our group over an incident that took place off the property which he should not have even been involved in at all. It was not even a big deal but he felt the need to take his manager role to the streets which was really weird. We were at the restaurant Chesapeake which is off the property and he walked all the way over there to the street by the entrance of the restaurant to put his two sense in about safety concerns. We are adults and didn’t need him telling any one what we needed to be doing for our safety, but it’s more the fact that he was questioning other people that was there once we got back to the hotel to try and get names as if it even mattered who was who."

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Good view of the room. Quiet and clean."

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"April and Aubrey were so very helpful getting us hooked up with information, a coffee filter and parking pass to hike the next day. Get a room by the brook and sit out on the balcony to hear the water. Best nights sleep I had all week during our travels."

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"It was nice- old historic Gatlinburg feel. It is an older hotel. So don’t expect the Hilton or something but it had a nice view and natural ASMR! We would book again!"
