Top Dark Island Swinging Bridge Hotel Reviews

The Parkman - Great Smoky Mountains

8/10 Good

"The receptionist at the front desk, Mike, was great and friendly when we checked in. However, when he was busy not at the front desk, I asked someone in the office for my checkout receipt, that person simply said “You have to wait!” in an inpatient and rude tone, then shut the office door at my face without helping me?! The room was spacious, but the cleaning could have been more thorough: (1) some spiderwebs by entrance door, (2) no shower gel provided in the dispenser at all, (3) a big spider in our bathroom."

Townsend Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, nice pool, friendly staff, very convenient location, lots of dining options close by."

Dancing Bear Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Twin Creeks #2 was well appointed and well maintained. Very hot and humid during our stay, but the wall AC was able to keep up. May be worth changing the porch lights to focus a cone of light on the ground to reduce the light pollution, but nothing bad to say about the visit. Dinner at the Appalachian Bistro was great, breakfast at Apple Valley Cafe was solid, set up well for hiking in the Smokies."

Highland Manor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, clean, people were wonderful. I’ll be back! Thanks"

Townsend River Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect spot to stay, while visiting the great Mountain national Park. I loved how convenient it was from the pool to the room, and being able to park right outside the room. 10 out of 10 would recommend."
