Top Traffic Light #3 Hotel Reviews

Glenstone Lodge

8/10 Good

"Hotel was great. Walking distance to downtown and entrance to national park. Pool was amazing!! Hot tub, waterfall, shallow pool and deep pool. Bummer that there was no free breakfast."

Crossroads Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints. Property was clean and very quiet. Booked our next stay."

Brookside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, quiet location in Gatlinburg. Friendly staff at check-in. Some wear and tear in the bathroom, but the patio chairs overlooking the stream running behind the hotel made more than up for that. Very memorable stay. Great Jamaican restaurant across the street with fresh bbq jerk chicken. Easy $5 parking right outside the front door. Parking at a hotel/motel in Gatlinburg is hard to come by. Local bus runs right outside the front door to the main strip downtown or you can take a short walk down."

Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
