Top Rainbow Falls Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"It was okay."

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

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."

Embassy Suites By Hilton Gatlinburg Resort

10/10 Excellent

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

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Gatlinburg Downtown

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly and greeted as soon as we walked in the door.The room was clean. I booked an accessible room by mistake. I will review this room as a if my disable niece were with me. Plenty of room for wheelchair access. Bathroom plenty big, The shower had all the necessities however it was not a walk in shower. She would have had to step over. Breakfast was the typical hotel breakfast . It advertises as continental breakfast but there were not much choices to hot dishes. Parking was easy and plenty of it."
