Top Ripley's Mountain Coaster Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Creekside - Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"Great location to downtown restaurant and shops. Very easy access to hiking trails. Staff helped when asked how to access the closest hikes. Bears were around property. That made it so fun to see wild life from our room!"

The Park Vista - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. Our view was lovely. The hotel had everything we needed. We took advantage of the trolley so we didn’t have to find and pay for parking in Gatlinburg. It was an easy drive into the Park do to some hiking. Perfect for couples."

Sleep Inn & Suites near Sports World Blvd

8/10 Good

"Hotel was fine and sufficient. Clean. Beds were good. A little run down. Location is great."

Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great. Staff friendly and welcoming. Rooms clean and remodeled. Only complaint is the elevators moving slow and no indoor steps for other access without going outside"

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"Rooms were as advertised. A bit rustic but nice. A few cosmetic touch ups would help but overall as advertised. We spent most of the time being tourists so the room was a good place to sleep."

Bear Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place. We saw a bear walking by the creek from our balcony! Was a great little place."

Clarion Pointe Downtown Gatlinburg

10/10 Excellent

"Lo menos que me gusto fue El desayuno no es variado, y lo mas q me gustó ubicación y y la habitación."

River Terrace Resort & Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Overall, this hotel is fine, just fine. Its location is fantastic and easy to get to, and very convenient if you are planning to spend your time on the Parkway. The rooms have outside doors like a motel, so security always felt a little off. And because there is direct access from outside, dirt kept getting into the room which was difficult to manage. The bathroom was outdated, and the toilet felt like you were playing Russian roulette every time you flushed. It was the slowest flush ever. The hot water for the shower was insufficient too. My understanding is that most if not all this property is going away in 2027 as the company is building a new resort. I got this information from the very long winded gentleman that was handling the parking passes. He was trying to entice me to go to the other property in the morning for a breakfast presentation and an offer of free Anakeesta tickets for going. But that would have involved driving which I was not inclined to do. Overall, this property cost more than I would normally pay for any hotel, but significantly cheaper than the other options in the location. Good enough."

The Greystone Lodge on the River

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff who allowed us an early check-in and late check-out, which we really appreciated. The beds were comfortable, but very squeaky. Nice river views and a great location. The breakfast area is too small for the number of guests, so it was very crowded. If you have a scooter, I would recommend asking for the main buildinh rather than the third garage/building. The elevator barely fit the scooter, and driving up the hill to the third garage felt dangerous. Overall, a good stay with a great location (across from Anakeesta & by trolley stop) and friendly staff. Free parking is a plus (minus having to keep moving yellow cones)"
