"I can’t say enough about the staff at the Gillette and how amazing they are! I specifically worked with Bo and Joann but everyone I talked to made me feel like family! They went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, cute and is conveniently located. I can’t wait to come back and visit!"

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Bears, Bears , Bears don’t feed them, but you will see them. 2 babies, 2 Big Boys. All on different days. Get the room on the hill, wink wink. Bears might live near. I’m not saying it , but it’s a good chance. Hotel was a little dated but, everything‘s in walking distance and you come to Gatlinburg to see the Bears don’t lie"

Best Western Johnson's Inn Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was average, outdoor fireplace was nice, limited parking, bears walking through the parking lot at night, centrally located making it walking distance to many attractions in Gatlinburg. Housekeeping didn't change the sheets or even make the bed when they serviced the room (I only asked for service one day of the 6 day stay). Washers and dryers could be updated. There is no notification of time needed or when load completed. Television a little difficult to figure out how to control and limited channels but didn't spend much time watching it anyway. I would stay there again just because of the convenient location."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Gatlinburg, TN

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location of this hotel. The employees are amazing"
