Top Iris Theater Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Gatlinburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff was great, breakfast was good , commissary was stocked and reasonably priced. The hotel is a bit off the main drag and can be a little hard to see, I did miss it once. This is the only hotel I have ever been charged for parking than wasnt valet parking. Not sure if all the Hotels in Gatlinburg charge for parking but $45.00 to park for 3 days is a bit much for seniors like us. I will definitely look closer at that next time. That would be a deal breaker. Hotel is nice and quite, which is more than I can say for some of the others we stayed at this trip."

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The room it was clean, it was just a weird smell but nothing that you can’t handle, and they need to upgrade the TV, but everything else perfect"

"I liked the view"

The Gillette

8/10 Good

"We came in for the weekend for a soccer tournament, we canceled the original hotel we planned to stay at due to the reviews and The Gillette was one of the few that didn't have any reviews about bedbugs or how dirty the place was etc. We came in late right before the front desk closed and the last at the desk was as sweet as can be. Beds were not super comfortable but it's a hotel I don't expect much with that, not a deal breaker. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin and we could hear the guests next to us late into the night so that we annoying. Also wish the hot water was like hot, after spending the day on the soccer field in the rain, I wanted a lava hot shower and didn't get that but it didn't ruin our stay. Would definitely come back again. The fall decorations were also a nice touch"

The Historic Gatlinburg Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff clean and great breakfasts"
