Top Cataract Falls Hotel Reviews

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was amazing."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Gatlinburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! We are a family of 6 with kids from 5-16 and they all really enjoyed the stay. The pool was clean and never busy during our stay. The hot tub was very fun and relaxing. The continental breakfast was what you’d expect! Would recommend."

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"A bit confusing to figure out which floor everything was on at first. Check in quick and easy. Elevator and hallways could use deep cleaning but room and balcony was clean, especially the bathroom! Room was cool, beds and pillows were very comfortable, linens clean and in good repair. Lovely views of river and mountains from balcony. I spent a little of time out there during our 4 night stay. Very convenient to the strip. In fact, we parked when we arrived on Thursday and did’t get back into our vehicle until we checked out on Monday. Appreciated the larger size frig and the microwave. I wasn’t impressed w the pool. Too small for a hotel that size and no steps for entering or exiting the outdoor side of the pool, only a ladder which is not too good for seniors. Plus they had some kind of issue w fumes on the inside portion while I was there which drove all the kiddos outside. Never went down for breakfast so I can’t speak on that. I would definitely stay again, especially if just planning to stay on the strip."

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for 3 nights with 1 adult and 3 children. Check in went very smooth and the location of this hotel is walkable to downtown Gatlinburg. Parking is included with your stay, so it is very convenient to both town and the National Park. Wi-Fi was decent. The pool is small, but swimmable and we saw a lot of people using it. There is daily breakfast which is OK - not great. Eggs, Sausage or bacon, toast options, cereal options, a pancake machine, juice, coffee, and oatmeal options. The room was more spacious that I thought it would be. However, it was musty - very musty - and the floor felt damp the entire stay. There is a pretty large mini-fridge and microwave in the room which is useful and a lot of storage space. The bathroom was a motel bathroom - nothing fancy, but I did like that the sink was outside the toilet/shower area so you can get ready while someone else showers. Beds were comfortable - but I did see some staining on the sheets. The A/C unit worked, but it never got to the temp on the display. It did stay cool at night though. The Balcony was nice and overlooked a creek. Overall, for the price, it is exactly what you would expect. A motel for sleeping near the National Park/Downtown. It is not fancy at all."
