Top Gatlinburg Hotel Reviews

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"Decent place to lay your head for a night or 2. Nice pools, both indoor and out. Indoor pool could have been a little warmer. Little restaurant on site served a decent breakfast. Hotel sits right on the river, so it was a decent view. Balconies are really small...no room to sit, but there is a patio beside the hotel that where you can relax by the river. All in all, it was comfortable. It served it's purpose."

8/10 Good

"The hotel was fine. It’s an older facility but maintained properly the front desk. Staff were very helpful. Maid service was somewhat inconsistent."
