The Ours at Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Mostly the room was perfect for what I needed. Simple, cost effective, and convenient. Check in easy. Parking available. There was clear lack of cleaning. The floor and walls around the refrigerator were dirty. There were plastic tag holders left on the night stand. The comforter had a food stain on it, & the bathroom floor under the sink was dirty. Whomever cleaned was good at spot cleaning. But not deep cleaning the areas you can see but hard to get to. I liked this place & would stay here again. But double check the comforter!"

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice newer hotel in Gatlinburg. We enjoyed the details in the decor that embrace the Smoky Mountains location. The rooftop bar and patio is fantastic. Staff were friendly, responsive, and helpful. This is absolutely our new go-to place to stay whenever we visit!"

Hampton Inn Gatlinburg Historic Nature Trail

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had a 4-night getaway at the Gatlinburg Hampton Inn Nature Trail and absolutely loved it. Our room was clean and had a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the fire pits and creek at the back of the property. All staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The location is off the main drag but only a short walk away from it. The property was beautiful and clean with a well-equipped gym that I put to use daily. We were charged for a broken table that was in perfect shape when we left. This charge was appropriately removed after a pleasant and professional interaction from the general manager. Though our children are grown, our experience has us planning an annual trip to this hotel going forward."
