Top Ripley's Mountain Coaster Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"The property is conveniently located in downtown Gatlinburg and easy access to shops, attractions and restaurants. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Room is spacious with plenty of storage space, and a table to eat. With most requests, such as extra towel and blanket, housekeeping delivered quickly. Staffs all very friendly, and check-in was also very quick. I somehow had a vision that Margaritaville is considered lower-end in the room decor, services and facility amenities, but I was wrong. I really think it is a higher-end caliber resort and would definitely come back again."

The Greystone Lodge on the River

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and staff were wonderful. The hotel is located in the center of the Gatlinburg actives. The perfect location for families and couples. 5 Stars"

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Definitely older property… seemed clean"

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"very nice clean room enjoy the stay"

Sleep Inn & Suites near Sports World Blvd

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good. Room was clean. PARKING IS CRAZY - very limited on top level where the office is. There is more parking on bottom level, BUT parking is very tight if you have an oversized truck. There are only 3 handicapped parking spots. Morning staff was more friendly, night staff was not rude, just less friendly. Overall a good stay and we'd likely stay there again. 4.5 stars"

Bear Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very peaceful and the balcony was wonderful!"

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and beds were comfy. The bathroom was clean and functional also. The Staff was friendly and helpful. They were short staffed so things took a little longer. The room we had has been updated. Keep in mind the property is old so there are things that need updating, like baseboards, doors, balcony furniture, etc. Clean room and being able to park my car for the week and walk everywhere on the strip was the Best!!! We will stay there again in the spring."
