I go to Gatlinburg for the National Park not the downtown. if the Gatlinburg strip is your deal that's fine but just know it's very touristy with the usual tourist traps and t shirt shops. If you use Yelp or other apps you will find some good food.

A great location on the west end of the strip. A great walk to everything or the strip shuttles were available. A short drive to Pigeon Forge. Check out the great new dinner show "Women of the Bible" at the Bible Times Theatre. Cades Cove too!

Loved the convenient access to nature trails in the National Park and the drive up to the New Found Gap. Saw a couple of bears near the town. The town itself is very touristy; very crowded. Would recommend not staying right on the strip.

The location is great as it's just a few blocks to the strip. Traffic was very busy, and I can only imagine it's worse in the summer. It was nice to be able to walk and not have to fight traffic and pay for parking. Area felt safe.

Love Gatlinburg! Everything is close enough that you can walk and not worry about finding parking. Unique shops downtown and lots to do with kids! Especially love it in the fall with the changing leaves and a drive up the mountain!

The area is a mix of tacky redneck fun and beautiful natural surroundings. Gatlinburg itself is walkable for those with a moderate fitness level, while Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are 100% car-oriented. Tip - try Mynatt Park!

Skip Big red or whatever Jason Aldean's place had amazing food and staff. Milkshake Mason jar place was delicious and breakfast at any one of the pancake places on main street. Putt putt at Davy Crockett super fun.

Gatlinburg is a great place to visit especially if you're a car buff. If you don't like traffic or people it can be challenging. Getting an Uber was also challenging. But the views and scenery is breathtaking.

A little pricey, all of the attractions we visited had an average price of $39.95 per person. Most businesses close at 9:00 pm so every night was an early night. If we return it will be to camp.
"This hotel’s location is ultra-convenient, and the river running directly in front of it is beautiful. Our room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The pool is nice, especially if you’re traveling with kids. The bathroom is on the small side, which may present some difficulty for anyone assisting a small child with bathing. It wasn’t a problem for our family, though. Would stay here again."
"This was an excellent place to stay with our family. We had an amazing Mountain View and it was easy to get to. We had a lot of great communication from the manager. It could use some simple cosmetic maintenance, but over all it’s great and we would stay again. "
