Property had great views of the mountains. It was very clean and quiet and all staff was super nice even when my pup had an accident in our room. Close enough to the strip but still fat enough away to enough the peace and quiet.

I had an overall good experience and recommend this resort. Minor issues and opportunity for improvement. 1) vanity sink had a disconnected drain stop and the water drained very low. Not a show stopper. 2) Continental breakfast was not offered three of my four nights because of low occupancy and for the cost for the room. A continental breakfast should always be available at no charge. The one day we had the continental breakfast, it was very minimal meal offerings to cereal, oatmeal and pastries. I have stayed at less expensive hotels and received a much better continental breakfast that included eggs, sausage, bacon, and biscuits and gravy, coffee teas and other juices. I would definitely consider staying here again, but I would research my options. There are some very nice surrounding resorts, hotels and motels. The resort was clean and staff were friendly. Even though I did not use the free trolley, it was nice to have the option at no extra cost tips only. The interior paint color was a little boring though, but has no influence on this review.

First off let me say we absolutely love Park Vista. Have been staying there for the past 22 yrs. Now have saying that I need to express that if you have back issues and you’re looking for a comfortable bed, this is not the hotel you want to stay at. Park Vista, I absolutely adore you but can we please do something with those mattresses? We ended up leaving early at 3 am this morning and cut our trip short after tossing and turning for 4 hrs.

The front desk employees were not friendly or accommodating. We did not get anything that I requested before checking in. I had emailed the hotel directly and asked for certain information regarding our room before our trip and they responded that it would not be a problem but did not accommodate. They put us on the highest floor when I asked to be on a lower floor because my husband had arthritis and disabled veteran when I made the reservation. The restaurant was not good at all and too expensive. It needs an update, to be cleaned, and ants were in the pool area. The view from our room was nice and that was about it. But no chairs on balcony and outdoor mountaintop area was not accessible for guests. You have to pay 15$ a day to park in the hotel parking lot which made no sense. A trolley takes you to Gatlinburg so that was convenient but trolley isn’t hotels. We mostly were walking around Gatlinburg anyway so we still had a good vacation. We will stay somewhere else next visit.

The property was nice. It is dated for the price. There was no hand soap or body wash, they put extra shampoo in place of actual soap. It was very dusty and parts of the room hadn’t been dusted or vacuumed for awhile.

My family and I stay here every time we visit Gatlinburg . We love the pool with the slides , however this time one of the slides was closed off . My little one was disappointed however he quickly forgot about it and moved on to the big slide . We always enjoy the breakfast Buffett. The trolley makes visiting downtown so much more convenient. I can’t complain because we love this hotel , would give it an 8 and visit again . I was looking forward to being able to order pizza in one night but it was not available. I also rave about how comfortable the beds are however this time the down comforter was so thin that it was like a sheet . I held it up and you could see just little bits of down stuffing a some areas . I was shocked that this is even being used anymore . I quickly remedied the situation by turning up the heat . These were just a couple things that weren’t perfect but wouldn’t keep Us from coming back .

So the indoor pool is great for kids. The views are really nice. Rooms nice but a little dated. Can take shuttle to town but the first couple will be filled so if want to get to Gatlinburg early, drive. The main complaint is checking out. No luggage carts to be found anywhere and the hotel is huge with cars not close. I think me and 50 or so other ppl were continuously going up and down to load the cars. So take a cart a day early or be prepared to carry a ton of stuff. Please invest in some more carts and some area on the lobby level to hold them. Also hard to get an elevator in the morning, they have 5 of them but the hotel is just crowded with tons ppl so it is what it is. Definitely nice but some downfalls.

There were several Pros and Cons for this location. Pros: Great Restaurant and well stocked Bar, Friendly and helpful staff, views were stunning, plenty of parking.Trolly picks up/drops off every 30 minutes. Cons: The bed was not comfortable at all. It is not walkable to downtown so you either have to drive or take the trolly. The trolly pick up and drop offs are iffy after 8:00 pm ( this has nothing to do with the hotel, just an FYI if you are out later and are expectingto take trolly back. Uber is also iffy do not count on Uber)
