Top Ripley's Mountain Coaster Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best properties we have stayed at in the Gatlinburg - Pigeon Forge area. Room and parking were great; the only comment I have is regarding the (nearly) hidden entrance which is easy to pass up the first time going by. Okay once you know where it is."

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Love the balcony! Staff were super nice too!"

Clarion Pointe Downtown Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"✅️Good - The breakfast buffet was EXCELLENT! ✅️Good - Great location for the price. ❌️Bad - There was always trash outside the trash cans in the outdoor corridors. ❌️Bad - No curtain or shower door; consequently, water all over the floor."

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Great hotel with super nice and friendly staff! We really enjoyed our stay overall. The only downside was the Wi-Fi—it was extremely weak and barely connected at all. We just wish they could provide a more reliable connection, especially for guests who need Wi-Fi for important matters. Other than that, we had a great experience!"

"The amazing river view and indoor pool, with a fire pit just outside, made our vacation even more relaxing after long days exploring the Smokies. Anakeesta is also within walking distance, which was definitely a big plus. Overall, a wonderful experience!"
