Top Rainbow Falls Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful trip in Gatlinburg and really enjoyed our stay! Facilities were super clean, staff were very helpful, all service persons throughout the resort were friendly. Enjoyed the spa experience and was even able to enjoy the swimming pool in the first week of October!"

The Greystone Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff who allowed us an early check-in and late check-out, which we really appreciated. The beds were comfortable, but very squeaky. Nice river views and a great location. The breakfast area is too small for the number of guests, so it was very crowded. If you have a scooter, I would recommend putting it in the main garage rather than the third garage. The elevator barely fit the scooter, and driving up the hill to the third garage felt dangerous. Overall, a good stay with a great location (across from Anakeesta & by trolley stop) and friendly staff. Free parking is a plus (minus having to keep moving yellow cones)"

Embassy Suites By Hilton Gatlinburg Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a great stay! The 3 pools (1 indoor, 2 outdoor) and the hot tub were a great highlight for our children. The 2 firepits and 2 corn hole games also were a big hit! The hotel backs up to a wooded hill so it feels like you are tucked away on a mountainside, but in reality you are less than a mile from Gatlinburg's main attractions. Such a great find for us and we will be back!"

Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very kid friendly. Great staff. Great location and reasonable pricing. Will be staying here again!"

Bear Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Great place. Low budget but nice. On the creek with a balcony. So, nice!"

Gatlinburg Town Square

10/10 Excellent

8/10 Good

8/10 Good
