Top Traffic Light #1 Hotel Reviews

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Had a wonderful stay"

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Edgewater Hotel. It was kept very clean, and it was easy to access the elevator and parking lot. We didn’t use the pool but did sit in the pool area for a while. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. There is a lot on the Parkway for children, so Gatlinburg is a good place for families to visit."

Historic Rocky Waters Inn, A Small Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic!! Loved the balcony on the water the room was spacious and getting in and out with a door code made it a breeze not to keep up with a key. The breakfast was over the top delicious the French toast, blueberry pancakes and coffee was outstanding!! The dinner was even better, hats off to their chef hang on to these people and don't ever let them go!! Stephanie the bartender made us feel extremely welcomed and man can she whip up some fantastic drinks. Mandie was new and she provides outstanding service. Mr. Keith was an exceptional welcome to the property. The only two things I would add/change is WATER in the room. That was a downer, but we managed ourselves. Also parking, is a nightmare space 103 is impossible to get into and getting out was even worse. Great property we will be back in April 2027!"

Bear Creek Inn

6/10 Okay

"Pros: Hotel staff was very accommodating towards our late arrival, providing more towels, and helping make change for the $1 bill ONLY vending machines. Ice is available. Plenty of parking enforced with parking tags. Great Thai place right next door, and downtown Gatlinburg is just ~1 mile walk to the aquarium and all the other fun things. Trolley stop is close by, too. Makes it convenient to not have to pay to park, or fight traffic for restaurants/things to do on/around the strip. Balcony rooms have a view of the creek. AC is nice and functional! Cons: Do not come here looking for a luxury experience, or even an experience on par with a middle of the road hotel. The creek has some trash. The rooms are somewhat renovated, but it looks like they were cheaply and hastily done. The bathroom air vent fan was falling out of the ceiling and the faucet was ridiculously close to the sink basin making it hard to wash your hands. The floors were absolutely filthy. I always take my shoes off before entering my own home and do so at hotels, but the bottom of my socks were black within minutes. The beds were okay. The pillows seemed to be throw pillows stuffed into a full size pillow case. Blankets were torn. The only window in our room provided minimal natural sunlight, the door to the balcony had a window, but it was painted over. Paid ~130/night for its proximity, only. Most IHGs are nicer. It’s fine if you ONLY plan to sleep and bathe. After 3 days we were ready to GO!"

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

6/10 Okay

"This location has done a great job maintaining the level of hospitality from the beginning of their establishment in Gatlinburg. We have stayed there almost every year since they opened and at least twice a year. But now something is going wrong, something is happening with the facility that has caused hesitation. They are moving to charging $15.00 per night to park in their parking lot. You know?,....The same parking lot at the hotel you're staying at. Seriously, I have to pay to park at the same hotel I'm staying at????? This ain't right,; on any level....... Somehow greed and customer exploitation has now entered the picture. We are truly saddened by the decision making by the management of this facility as this move will certainly cause our greatest hesitation when visiting the Gatlinburg area in the future."
