Top Traffic Light #1 Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Rooms is a great location. But I feel they need to put some attention to the cleanliness of the rooms, floor are nasty and we have stayed here several times, also huge spider webs everywhere. I love the location. But if they would pay attention to detail on cleanliness.. would be perfect"

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a little dated, but very clean. The breakfast was great, and the food staff were very nice and hospitable. It was a very nice stay. And close to everything. I did not like having to pay to park in their parking structure. If you are paying for hotel parking should be free. That was the only quip I had with the place."

Gatlinburg River Inn

8/10 Good

"This hotel was nice. Older building with outside entrance to room but very clean and had a good weather protected area to park cars under the lower level of hotel. Listening to the river was nice from the balcony but you also get to listen to all the cars. Very convenient to a trolley stop and a short walk to all the shops. Pool area doesn’t look very inviting because it corners the parking lot."
