The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is in a great location to walk anywhere in Gatlinburg. The continental breakfast is good but space is limited and cramped. Our room was clean but were able to hear the people in the room next door "moving around" on their bed. Had to let the water run for a good... More

Unfortunately, at the moment, I don't have a lot of time to convey how dissappointed I am in this hotel's staff, including the General Manager. To preface this, my family (4 rooms total each year) has enjoyed our stays with this hotel for a number of years although has quickly come to an abrupt end. We arrived late 11/22, and... More

The Clarion Gatlinburg's number one goal has been and continues to be guest satisfaction. The Clarion Gatlinburg maintains new digital A/C units for our guest rooms. This new inventory is the ONLY inventory that is installed into our guest rooms when needed. Compensatory measures are always in balance with reported complaints. More

We stayed at The Clarion Hotel in Gatlinburg in October. When making my reservations in September 2011, I was quoted a rate of $154 per night. Upon check-in, we were informed that only the first two nights were at this rate. The next two nights would be at the rate of $215 per night and we were not told this... More

When we arrived at the hotel we found the rear parking lot had a security gate to limoit access. Nice feature when it operates correctly. When we tried to drive into the lot the gate came down on the hood of my truck causing minor scratches. I exited my truck and pushed the button to have the gate raised again.... More

The staff is very helpful and courteous. We had a room with a city view balcony which has a good view of the mountains and the tram. Balcony was on the Parkway but is not noisy at all so you can sleep. A chef prepares your omelet the way you like it. Biscuits, gravy, waffles, etc. Wonderful breakfast AND FREE. More

The Clarion Gatlinburg regrets that your experience didn't meet your expectations. Unfortunately when using a travel agency they can not guarantee room location. The hotel has always tried to accomodate all guest requests if the requests are available. When booking reservations online and/or through travel agencies the hotel always recommends calling the hotel directly to verify room type and location.... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. It exceeded our expectations. It is very clean, staff is friendly and the hot breakfast is good. There is coffee/tea/hot chocolate available in the lobby all day and fresh fruit also. They have something fresh baked everyday at 5:00 in the lobby which is nice and makes the hotel... More

We have stayed here several years ago and it was nice but in need of an upgrade. They obviously have!
