Recently renovated. We got 2 adjoining rooms on top floor. great views of mountains. Everything was nice, except LOUD air conditioner. Can't hear TV over it. And it was so hot it ran constantly. Restaurant and bar were OK, very overpriced, esp Sunday brunch. Not much selection. Great cookies upon checkin. When I have stayed at other Doubletree hotels, cookies... more

Our family of four took a spur of the moment mini-vacation to Gatlinburg and stayed at the Park Vista for two nights. I can be a bit of a hotel snob, so as we were driving through the touristy section of town, I became nervous as a lot of the hotels looked a bit sketchy. But driving up to the... more

Just got back from spending a week at the Park Vista Hotel. We had a wonderful time there. Fantastic views of the Smokies and Gatlinburg. You are right in the mountains yet only a half mile to town. We booked 2 family suites for our party of 11. Each suite has 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. There is a King... more

Just returned from weekend getaway with the family! Check in was easy, children liked the cookies. Luggage carts were available, no valet or service attendant at the front door. We booked a king suite with the getaway package (inclusive of breakfast) and requested upper floor with a city view and we received just that. 10th floor room with two balconies... more

Upon arrival we were met with a parking lot that was filled beyond capacity and could not finda place to park. Construction crews were still working on the building even though their website clearly stated the construction was to be over by June, 2010. There were no luggage carts and no bell-hops available. The lobby area was not complete and... more

Renovated 2010 with nice size, beautiful rooms, granite tops, quality furnishings, great beds, kind of Craftsman meets Moderne style, really perfect for Gatlinburg. This hotel sits up a short steep drive with views overlooking Old Town Gatlinburg and the Smokies, and the shuttle makes it convenient so you don't have to look for parking in town. It is about 12... more

Hard to separate the improvement from what is was two years ago from the quality that is offered today. Although the renovation continues our room was excellent. The views as always magnificent. The lobby area and restaurant totally redone. Very enjoyable! more

I was supposed to stay in the fairfield inn north, which also looks nice, but got a great rate here, and I heard they were completely remodeled in the rooms. The room is very nice. the mountain view was beautiful, and we saw a deer eating across from the parking lot, from our room about 6 pm. The rooms are... more

First review I've ever written, but our experience was SOOOOO BAAAADDDD that I felt inclined to write this to help others avoid the same problems. We stayed here over the recent holiday weekend and of course it was sold out, but what we more surprised to see was the amount of construction still going on around the hotel (inside and... more
