Reagan Resorts Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It’s in such a convenient spot, clean and safe feeling, parking lot is small but still fine stayed the last 3 times we been there"

Gatlinburg River Inn

8/10 Good

"Great value for the price and location. Property is older but rooms were clean and comfortable. Great beds and shower, fridge and microwave were an added bonus."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Everything was as expected for the price of the room. Only thing I would recommend for improvement is maybe an in room coffee maker and the front desk staff a bit more hospitable. They weren't rude by any stretch just not very friendly."

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and beds were comfy. The bathroom was clean and functional also. The Staff was friendly and helpful. They were short staffed so things took a little longer. The room we had has been updated. Keep in mind the property is old so there are things that need updating, like baseboards, doors, balcony furniture, etc. Clean room and being able to park my car for the week and walk everywhere on the strip was the Best!!! We will stay there again in the spring."
