This hotel was beautiful! We are a family of 4 and stayed in a king suite with a fold out couch. The room was super clean, beds were comfy, and the staff was very accommodating to all of our needs. I loved the location too. It is within walking distance to all the "business" of Gatlinburg, but far enough that... More

First the good points: It is very close to the park, so you can be up and out on the trails without having to sit through traffic lights. This is especially helpful when there are evening programs in the park and the traffic heading out of the park is heavy. You won't have far to go to get back to... More

In past years, I 've stayed at the Clarion with my family in the king suites...five years in row. Came back for a weekend getaway after a ten year hiatus. Pros: location is great; breakfast was good; staff friendly; room clean and bedding comfortable. Cons: room (just king regular) is smaller than expected; cannot turn balcony light off and window...

We stayed in a suite and the room was beautiful and clean with a nice size bathroom and balcony. The breakfast is great, too. Made to order omelettes, biscuits and gravy, & waffles every morning! Pool is large and location is perfect. Can't wait to stay again.

We are shopping around for our new "home away from home" as we travel to Gatlinburg twice yearly. The old hotel lost our business, and now we need to find a new one. This was nice, but we weren't overwhelmed by the place. The stopper in the sink was stuck in the down position. However, the maintenance staff came within... More

I see that many people had issues with the room. I felt our room was quite adequate. The beds were comfortable and the room seemed up to date and comfortable. My concern is that I kept getting American Express alerts that my card had been charged even though we were paid up. Two days in a row we had charges,... More

This Clarion Inn is about typical of other Choice hotels. There were a few minor issues with the room. 1) The room was not cleaned completely between guest departure and new guest arrival. There was an item left by previous guest that was not cleaned up. 2) Bathroom sink was semi clogged, very slow to drain and 3) Stained ceiling... More

There are very few new hotels in Gatlinburg if you want to stay on the main strip, so we try to look for clean and remodeled. Clarion Inn and Suites is older, but well kept up.
