My husband and I had never been to this area but were coming to see the synchronous fireflies. Following recommendations on tripadvisor I had narrowed down the choices to the Clarion Inn Willow River and a couple others in Gatlinburg. I was apprehensive about Gburg because it seemed crowded and touristy. Then a friend who visits the area (and loves... More

This hotel is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. Its architecture mimics the traditional Southern-style mansions of old, with room balconies and towering white columns. The grounds are lovely and the inside of the building is highly decorated. They seem to have put a lot of thought into the design details. There's an outside pool with a lazy river and a... More

This was our families fourth time at the Clarion Inn, as in the past we really enjoyed our stay. We have 3 boys who love to use the pools and lazy river. The breakfast is excellent and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. The hotel is located nicely just a... More

My family and I recently visited this hotel for a 3- night stay during our vacation. Only three positive things I can say about it is that it was clean , the outdoor pool was nice and also heated , and the front desk staff was friendly.

We walked in with no reservation (we weren't supposed to arrive in town till the next day and were too early to check into our condo). Got a spacious room with our AAA discount. The beds slept well, and we had an awesome view of the river from our balcony even though we were only on the first floor. Breakfast... More

Me and my husband stayed one night here on our way back home. I loved the gone with the wind theme. It was a beautiful hotel inside and out. The pool and lazy river were the highlight of our evening. We got to stay in it until dark. My only complaint is that they may need to spray for spiders.... More

We did not actually stay at this inn but I have to mention something about the service of the mgmt. We had to cancel our plans at the last minute this past weekend. I did not realize the cancellation policy was 24 hours in advance. I called Saturday and they mgmt. was extremely polite and understanding about our cancellation. When... More

We stayed one night for a stopover during our drive home from Myrtle Beach to Ohio this weekend. We had two double rooms, and they were adjoining. Perfect for a wired 3-year-old who had been in a car for 7 hours and just wanted to run! I was a little worried when I checked in and found out there were... More

This was a wonderful stay. My friend and I were attending a Women of Joy conference and this hotel was a great way to start and end a day. The rooms are super nice and I believe all of them are balcony rooms....no matter the view, they're all nice! The breakfast was wonderful every day. The hotel itself was incredibly... More
