Top Traffic Light #5 Hotel Reviews

Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Rakiya at the front desk was a nice and attentive agent. She was very helpful. The property is in a great location and close to a lot of good places. The breakfast at the restaurant was not great, very simple. Everything was ok but what I noticed was that maintenance need to touch up some areas. The connecting door look bad in our room, the pool have mildew inside the walls of the adult pool, over the rock slide you can see from the rooms the black and green mold, the wall by the soda machine in the second has a big hole that can be fix... Is just detail that will make the property stand out... A lot of potential is just maintenance need to be more proactive around the property. I will stay again because I know this details can be fix and is not a motive to break a deal with the hotel."

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

6/10 Okay

"If you're looking for a more affordable hotel room that can be your home base after a full day in Gatlinburg and the surrounding area without worrying about finding parking on the strip, this is your place (as long as you're ok with killing bugs yourself). If you're looking for a nice hotel where you can spend time inside with your family, this is not your place. Expedia says breakfast is included, but you probably won't want it. Pros- The staff was nice. The double queen room we stayed in had a nice amount of floor space, with a dresser/desk combo and a 2 person table. We liked the proximity to the Gatlinburg strip and that parking for our vehicle was included in the price. We walked everywhere along the strip instead of worrying about finding parking. Cons- There were parts of the room that they had missed cleaning. Our fridge set to the warmest setting froze most things we put into it. The tv remote didn't work. The shower floor seemed to have a bubble between the flooring and the base of the shower. We were on the second floor, which walked out to the parking lot, and the first couple nights we had to kill centipedes, millipedes, pill bugs, and ants that kept appearing in the bathroom. All of the units seem to be walkable to the Gatlinburg strip, but be aware some of them require you to walk up a very steep incline if you plan to walk. The included breakfast is a joke. There were greasy muffins, granola bars, lite yogurts, orange juices, oatmeal packets, and a keurig."

Bear Creek Inn

6/10 Okay

"Pros: Hotel staff was very accommodating towards our late arrival, providing more towels, and helping make change for the $1 bill ONLY vending machines. Ice is available. Plenty of parking enforced with parking tags. Great Thai place right next door, and downtown Gatlinburg is just ~1 mile walk to the aquarium and all the other fun things. Trolley stop is close by, too. Makes it convenient to not have to pay to park, or fight traffic for restaurants/things to do on/around the strip. Balcony rooms have a view of the creek. AC is nice and functional! Cons: Do not come here looking for a luxury experience, or even an experience on par with a middle of the road hotel. The creek has some trash. The rooms are somewhat renovated, but it looks like they were cheaply and hastily done. The bathroom air vent fan was falling out of the ceiling and the faucet was ridiculously close to the sink basin making it hard to wash your hands. The floors were absolutely filthy. I always take my shoes off before entering my own home and do so at hotels, but the bottom of my socks were black within minutes. The beds were okay. The pillows seemed to be throw pillows stuffed into a full size pillow case. Blankets were torn. The only window in our room provided minimal natural sunlight, the door to the balcony had a window, but it was painted over. Paid ~130/night for its proximity, only. Most IHGs are nicer. It’s fine if you ONLY plan to sleep and bathe. After 3 days we were ready to GO!"

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

6/10 Okay

"This location has done a great job maintaining the level of hospitality from the beginning of their establishment in Gatlinburg. We have stayed there almost every year since they opened and at least twice a year. But now something is going wrong, something is happening with the facility that has caused hesitation. They are moving to charging $15.00 per night to park in their parking lot. You know?,....The same parking lot at the hotel you're staying at. Seriously, I have to pay to park at the same hotel I'm staying at????? This ain't right,; on any level....... Somehow greed and customer exploitation has now entered the picture. We are truly saddened by the decision making by the management of this facility as this move will certainly cause our greatest hesitation when visiting the Gatlinburg area in the future."
