Top Ripley's Mountain Coaster Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"2nd floor room was noisy. Parking lot below. No free meals. Valet parking was $11 dollars per night extra. Perks program not available, being reworked. Parrot Mountain brings birds in in mornings for kids to meet."

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"This was our third or fourth trip to the hotel. The room was clean, location, obviously very convenient with being just a few steps away from Gatlinburg strip. Unfortunately they cannot get the restaurant together… We tried to give it another go our last visit and it seems as though they can just not get staff or train staff properly. There were maybe five or six other patrons and one bartender he could not keep up. Honestly, I felt bad for him. Hopefully they will get some staff in there and have them trained properly. After that, we didn’t even try to eat dinner there. As we have eaten there twice before, and the food was definitely not aligned with the hotel. The first time I ordered a chicken pasta entrée it was literally a lump as it was all stuck together and mushy not to mention cold we did bring close attention to the manager. I took one bite of the food and they did not comp it. I’m sure we will be back there in a few months, but unfortunately, our dinner/drinks will be had elsewhere"
