Top Christ in the Smokies Museum and Gardens Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hands down. One of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed and I choose- star only. The rooms have a modernized look and feel, offering comfort and coziness as if I am home. The area was walking distance to many eateries and shops. Just be careful of bears lurking around. Statt were pleasant and accommodating. Will be back there to visit."

Hilton Garden Inn Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

10/10 Excellent

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Attentive and hospitable staff, great food and amenities. Beautiful views. Access to the trolley was helpful."

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Wonderful staff, really wonderful room and of course I loved the balcony on the river. Bathroom fixtures appeared new and in good taste which is not always the case. I wish the pillows were slightly better quality (these were lumpy) although I hate hard pillows which many hotels have and this one didn't. One key praise I must mention that might seem silly : almost every single hotel I've ever stayed in all around the world, with all numbers of stars almost always have bath and shower drains that back up. It's a major pet peeve of mine to stand in water after the shower is off. But with Brookside - didn't happen AT all! Love it!"
