Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The entire property is beautifully maintained, showing great attention to detail. Our room was spacious and decorated in a modern style, with a plush, comfortable bed adorned with crisp, freshly laundered sheets that had a clean, welcoming scent. The daily housekeeping staff does an excellent job, consistently going above and beyond with thorough cleaning and friendly service. We booked a package that included a complimentary breakfast each morning, and to our surprise, we also received a $40 dinner credit—about $10 per night—which was a nice bonus. The location is very convenient, within walking distance of Gatlinburg's main sights, shops, and outdoor activities, just a few minutes' drive from the Welcome Center. Parking is plentiful, well-lit, and feels secure, giving us peace of mind. The onsite restaurant offers a limited menu focused on sit-down dining; if you’re after a buffet or more extensive options, it might not be the best fit. There’s also a small store that sells souvenirs and travel essentials—very handy for last-minute shopping or picking up essentials for your stay."

"The overall experience was good. Only suggestions we have are the cleaning staff should come around earlier in the day such as 2:00. We always were in our room at 4:00 or 4:30 and they would come around then. Since they knew we were staying for 4 nights we should have gotten service sooner. Also the bed was never made in one of our rooms. The toilet should be taller in at least one bathroom since it's hard on us older folks. Thank you for asking our opinion."
