Top Traffic Light #1 Hotel Reviews

Glenstone Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great place, I could tell it was an older place, by room interior. Could use update. BIG plus was indoor pool!!"

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful trip in Gatlinburg and really enjoyed our stay! Facilities were super clean, staff were very helpful, all service persons throughout the resort were friendly. Enjoyed the spa experience and was even able to enjoy the swimming pool in the first week of October!"

The Greystone Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff who allowed us an early check-in and late check-out, which we really appreciated. The beds were comfortable, but very squeaky. Nice river views and a great location. The breakfast area is too small for the number of guests, so it was very crowded. If you have a scooter, I would recommend putting it in the main garage rather than the third garage. The elevator barely fit the scooter, and driving up the hill to the third garage felt dangerous. Overall, a good stay with a great location (across from Anakeesta & by trolley stop) and friendly staff. Free parking is a plus (minus having to keep moving yellow cones)"

Crossroads Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Check in was quick and easy. I messaged the property before-hand to request a ground level room and they were able to accommodate this with no issue. The room was as pictured and was mostly clean upon arrival aside from the carpet which was a little dirty. There is a laundry room on the property that you have to pay for. We were able to wash our clothes but when we went to dry them, we learned that the dryer was out of service.. Parking was fairly limited but we never had to walk very far to get to and from our car. On the day before our checkout, our room keys were deactivated too early but the front desk staff was very helpful and was able to get us new keys immediately. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The staff was very helpful and answered any questions we that we had."

Bear Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Great place. Low budget but nice. On the creek with a balcony. So, nice!"

Baymont by Wyndham Gatlinburg On The River

8/10 Good

"The room was great. The entry way and elevator were in need of cleaning. No fault of the property, but the noise level on our first night (due to location), was not conducive to sleeping."

Historic Rocky Waters Inn, A Small Luxury Hotel

8/10 Good

"The only issue at all was that the AC in room 113 was quite loud. Staff was kind and attentive, the room was immaculately clean and the balcony was perfect. Great place to stay!"

The Appy Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I like the free parking."

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Great job! Family couldn’t have been happier"
