Top Downtown Cherokee Hotel Reviews

Great Smokies Inn Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The check-in process was easy and Zelda was very helpful and recommended local restaurants and sites to see while we were there. The room was very clean and well maintained as well as the rest of the property. This was an exceptional value for us and we will definitely stay there again when in the area."

Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"I have long wanted to stay at this property which has new managers and is under renovation. The room was decorated nicely but the bathroom is pretty small in an age when most people are pretty large. The tub in Room 118 dripped water the whole time. The water pressure for the shower was pretty low. The property did not meet my request of an upstairs room so I heard a fair amount of road noise. The room did not have a television at first but someone brought and installed one about an hour after check in. I would stay here again but it seems like a small family is trying to run a large hotel. The office was not always staffed."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Gatlinburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and spacious. Staff was great, breakfast was good , commissary was stocked and reasonably priced. The hotel is a bit off the main drag and can be a little hard to see, I did miss it once. This is the only hotel I have ever been charged for parking than wasnt valet parking. Not sure if all the Hotels in Gatlinburg charge for parking but $45.00 to park for 3 days is a bit much for seniors like us. I will definitely look closer at that next time. That would be a deal breaker. Hotel is nice and quite, which is more than I can say for some of the others we stayed at this trip."

Brookside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, quiet location in Gatlinburg. Friendly staff at check-in. Some wear and tear in the bathroom, but the patio chairs overlooking the stream running behind the hotel made more than up for that. Very memorable stay. Great Jamaican restaurant across the street with fresh bbq jerk chicken. Easy $5 parking right outside the front door. Parking at a hotel/motel in Gatlinburg is hard to come by. Local bus runs right outside the front door to the main strip downtown or you can take a short walk down."

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"
