The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"First, the drive to the hotel was beautiful, it stands out wherever you are. Second, the hotel itself, is spectacular. Our room was beautiful and clean. The bed was so comfortable, and the sheets and pillows were so soft! Also, our view of the mountains was breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed the indoor pools as well! It was nice to have a few options to choose from, and we definitely took advantage of them. Thank you! We will be back again!"

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

8/10 Good

"I liked the view"

The Gillette

8/10 Good

"We came in for the weekend for a soccer tournament, we canceled the original hotel we planned to stay at due to the reviews and The Gillette was one of the few that didn't have any reviews about bedbugs or how dirty the place was etc. We came in late right before the front desk closed and the last at the desk was as sweet as can be. Beds were not super comfortable but it's a hotel I don't expect much with that, not a deal breaker. Unfortunately the walls are paper thin and we could hear the guests next to us late into the night so that we annoying. Also wish the hot water was like hot, after spending the day on the soccer field in the rain, I wanted a lava hot shower and didn't get that but it didn't ruin our stay. Would definitely come back again. The fall decorations were also a nice touch"
