Top Alum Cave Trail Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"It was okay."

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing, the staff was great, the only thing they could work on is the availability of free flow self serve coffee in the morning as this was something that all motel/hotel has as an amenity for there paying customers early in the morning without having to wait in a line or set down at a restaurant for a cup of coffee down stairs as u r about to go for a walk or to a trolly ride. Hopefully this is something u can accommodate at a slight cost and I had several people ask me where the kiosk for free flow self serve coffee was at. Thank u"

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

Honey Moon ! Walk to main strip ! Hot tub! Bears ! Privacy ! Mountain View’s!

10/10 Excellent

"Such a good stay, very clean & quiet!"

The Greystone Lodge on the River

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Staff was friendly and helpful! Sydney went above and beyond to make our stay the best! The rooms near the river were amazing! We would definitely recommend this place!"

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"The hotel is older but has been kept up. The room was clean, bed very comfortable, got to see a bear sleeping next to the parking garage wall. Breakfast was good, and the pancake machine is a cool touch. The only issue was the parking garage. It has very narrow spaces and a very low ceiling. If you are in a full size truck you can only park on the first level. You can't go up to 2nd level. It was an Austin Powers moment trying to park the truck. If you are in a smaller vehicle, you'll be ok."

Gatlinburg River Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is the third time we’ve been here and this is where we’ll always stay. The breakfast is great and most rooms are on the creek. This time we saw three bear in the creek. Has a nice balcony and view is great."

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The entire property is beautifully maintained, showing great attention to detail. Our room was spacious and decorated in a modern style, with a plush, comfortable bed adorned with crisp, freshly laundered sheets that had a clean, welcoming scent. The daily housekeeping staff does an excellent job, consistently going above and beyond with thorough cleaning and friendly service. We booked a package that included a complimentary breakfast each morning, and to our surprise, we also received a $40 dinner credit—about $10 per night—which was a nice bonus. The location is very convenient, within walking distance of Gatlinburg's main sights, shops, and outdoor activities, just a few minutes' drive from the Welcome Center. Parking is plentiful, well-lit, and feels secure, giving us peace of mind. The onsite restaurant offers a limited menu focused on sit-down dining; if you’re after a buffet or more extensive options, it might not be the best fit. There’s also a small store that sells souvenirs and travel essentials—very handy for last-minute shopping or picking up essentials for your stay."

Embassy Suites By Hilton Gatlinburg Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place. Will probably return again in the future."
