Top Clingmans Dome Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Stayed late September, 4 nights. Excellent choice if you are looking for an affordable hotel on the south side of Gatlinburg to get you into the Smoky Mountains quickly and with minimal traffic congestion while still being within walking distance (and there is always the free trolley with a stop nearby) of extremely crowded, touristy, downtown Gatlinburg or if you need quick driving access to the bypass to Pigeon Forge. We had a second floor balcony room w/ a pleasing view and sound of the small river next to it. Breakfast was the usual selection of cold and hot offerings, no complaints. Staff friendly, helpful, accommodating, and never slacking, general impression is that of being slightly understaffed as a lot of multi-tasking appeared to be going on. Hotel is in need of some repairs and maintenance, but nothing that creates more than minor inconvenience/ annoyance. A flickering light, a constantly running toilet, a big plug of hair we pulled out of shower drain, and one outside access door with a finicky keyswipe is what we noted; but no odors and never saw a bug other than one persistent fly that came in off the balcony. Pool was closed for the season, and it is tiny if that is an amenity you are looking for. Only negative for us is there are no guest self-service laundry facilities on-site. Overall would recommend and would stay again unless we found another conveniently located, affordable hotel in Gatlinburg WITH laundry facilities."

Sleep Inn Bryson City - Cherokee Area

8/10 Good

"Stayed Sunday night in late September. Hotel was very clean, odor free, and quiet. Staff was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Breakfast was standard fare with both cold and hot selections. Highly recommend and would stay there again if in area. Outdoor pool was not clean (water was clear, but quite a bit of leaf debris). I suspect they were in process of closing it down being so late in season. We had no plans to swim (and didn't), but viewed it outside our window. Laundry room was clean and functional. Arbys/ McDonalds within walking distance (less than quarter mile), but not much else. Only negative is it is a 2 story with no elevator, so be sure to request ground floor if any health issues."

Comfort Suites Gatlinburg Downtown-Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful experience"

Lloyd's On The River Country Inn By OYO

8/10 Good

"Half way between Cherokee NC. And Bryson City NC. 5 mile to each place."

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Very large room, plenty of room for storage and to move around. Breakfast was OK. Best feature was its location. Just cross through a parking lot, and you were in the heart of the main street with all the action"

Glenstone Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing visit. Highly recommended"

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"The outdoor pool was right across from our room! It was very nice and the perfect temp!"

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"The location and the view were both awesome. Parking was somewhat congested, but otherwise fine. I am sure this is not a common occurrence but there was a woman in the room next to us beating on her door at 3am trying to wake up her roommate. This was a not so welcome end to a pleasant trip."

Gatlinburg Town Square

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay. We loved the activities they had around the resort. It is a little dated and needs some TLC but it was for sure not a deal breaker. I do wish the indoor pool had been heated. It was a quick 10 minute walk to the strip. The walk back was a little longer having to go uphill. There is a great little pancake restaurant across from resort. We would definitely stay again and recommend."
