Top Traffic Light #1 Hotel Reviews

Clarion Pointe Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good and staff were helpful."

Comfort Suites Gatlinburg Downtown-Convention Center

8/10 Good

"While planning my recent trip to Gatlinburg, I changed my mind about the hotel several times before deciding on this one. This Comfort location just opened two years ago so I figured it'd be a good choice, and for the most part it was. It's about a third of a mile from the strip, so a bit of a trek to the strip but not a huge one. But if you're like me and walk a lot it can make for a rough day on the feet. The staff are very friendly. I didn't have many interactions with them, but when I did need something they were on top of it with no pushback. The pool is technically "heated," although not nearly enough. Lukewarm at best. If it were turned up a little it would've been perfect. A hot tub and workout area/gym would've been nice to have, but those are minor. Breakfast for the most part was fine, with the exception of the gravy for the biscuits. That was dreadful. It was like water with pepper mixed in. You're in the heart of Tennessee and don't know how to make sausage gravy? That's shameful! Fix that and the breakfast would be close to perfect. My room was spotless and the beds were among the most comfortable I've ever slept in. I've stayed in places that cost a lot more per night and the beds weren't this good! Water pressure in the shower was hit and miss. The condition of the walls and ceiling in some areas make me doubt this was a brand new build from the ground up, but I can't prove that. All in all a positive experience and I probably would return. Thanks."

The Appy Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The first thing I would like to point out is how friendly and helpful the staff was. The location of Appy Lodge was very convenient. A short 5-10 min drive to the Smoky Mountain trials where my daughter and I hiked in the mornings and an easy 20 min walk for us to all the restaurants and activities in Gatlinburg. Pigeon forge was only about a 10-15 minute drive. The rooms were large with plenty of space. The only things I noticed on the first day was the floors were dirty and there was a lot of dust. When they cleaned the next day, they did a much better job. The elevator only worked the first day, which wasn’t a big deal until we were leaving and carried our bags down. The breakfast area was clean with a decent amount to choose from. The outside property area was well kept and very pretty. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely choose this location again."

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Beautiful setting along the brook!! Loved the sound of the flowing water! Really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back down the road! When we arrived we were expecting a king suite with a fireplace based on our 3rd party booking showing a fireplace in the listing. When we got to our room we had a very nice room but no fireplace. The next day we talked to the front desk and shared our disappointment. They stated the listing was incorrect and that they gave us the correct room. But seeing our disappointment they offered for us to move to the honeymoon suite with a fireplace at no additional charge. Thanks so much for making our stay very special! Suggestion to the property: try to use your leaf blowers during the afternoon hours when most guests are off property and exploring! We really appreciated the desire to keep the property looking good! But our 30 minutes on the swing by the brook mid-morning did not allow us to hear the brook at all, only a blaring leaf blower ☹️"
