The Ramsey Hotel and Convention Center Pigeon Forge

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing to complain about"

The Lodge at Camp Margaritaville

8/10 Good

"The hotel and staff were absolutely phenomenal! The location is absolutely perfect .. it's right in the middle of everything and enough off of the main strip to be quiet and secluded. We absolutely LOVE this place and I hate to say anything bad about it but unfortunately there are some things that could use Improvement. Considering that they have a pool, hot tub and lazy river on the property it is a problem there is absolutely nowhere to dry your bathing suits in the room. They should provide at least a bathing suit string in the bathroom or hooks to hang them. We are a family of five and had to hang our bathing suits off the back of the chairs, pictures, over the shower door, door knobs.. you get the point. And hooks would also be helpful to hang your towels. The refrigerator is half the size of a small college dorm fridge so it barely fits any Since they separated the toilet and shower from the sink area there is nowhere to put anything down when you're in the bathroom taking a shower. We had to move a chair into the shower/bathroom to have somewhere to put stuff down. And $15 is quite a bit to charge for a basic breakfast & they also add gratuity on top of that. The game room was reasonably priced but the billiard room was a little pricey for $10 an hour. It also seems like there was not enough parking for the capacity in the hotel. Now that I know all of that I will prepare for the next visit better. And still with all of that being said we are absolutely going again!"

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was very good, and went to 11:00 am for convenience. The pool looked nice but was still locked in mid May. The highlight is the fast flowing river out your back patio—super cool. You can also walk downtown or take the free trolley. Driving/parking in Gatlinburg can be a challenge, though some restaurants have free parking if dining there."

Cambria Hotel Pigeon Forge

4/10 Poor

"Since the property was newer, the overall experience was not horrible, but some things were not up to par. The bathroom does not have any hooks which is a bit inconvenient. Initially, the room was not properly cleaned and the bathroom door was missing a lock- they did take care of these issues. Breakfast timings listed online are different than the times there. Also, on the last day, there was no hot water in the shower."
