We had a horrible experience in this hotel when we stayed there in May 2012. We were there with our 3 yrs old son and after a very tiring day when we came to the room the door card didn't work first time since my son was very tired he just wanted to go to the room and started crying... More

The Clarion Gatlinburg is proud of the performance of our electronic key lock system. We regret this isolated incident of damaged wire in the computerized element of the lock. The entire Clarion staff strives for excellent customer service and hopes to have the opportunity to be of service to you again in a future stay. More

This hotel is very well kept, clean, and a great breakfast for the price. However, I do have a few minor complaints. One being the water temperature in the shower (my parents were also staying in this hotel at the same time/different room and had the same problem. The shower was either hot (very hot) or cold, no in-between. Also,... More

We actually left another hotel and came here. Rooms were nice and clean. The breakfast in the morning was above and beyond what you normally get at a hotel. They had someone there making omelette's and you had the choice of grits, biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon and scrambled eggs. They also had the bagels, scones, cereal, waffles,etc. to chose...

Hotel was clean and staff ( except evening desk clerk ) had a very outgoing friendly attitude. Hotel was well located and trolley stopped almost in front of hotel. Couple of snags: When we arrived, the toilet was clogged. We call the front desk and they delivered a plunger to the room for us to fix the problem. This should... More

I stay in Gatlinburg once a week for business and thought I would try this hotel out for a change of pace. I booked through Orbitz, and then had a family emergency and had to change my plans by a day. I called the hotel two days before and asked to cancel and rebook for a day later and the... More

The Clarion Gatlinburg regrets to hear that you had an unpleasant experience while making and cancelling a reservation. When cancelling or altering reservations made through a third party organization such as Orbitz you must go through that organization directly. Once again the hotel regrets your unpleasant experience. More

Usually when visiting Gatlinburg, I would rent a cabin. This particular time I opted to leave the van in the parking lot and walk around the more kitschy attractions and restaurants on the strip. While there are several one off independent hotels that are historic icons in this tourist city I chose the Clarion wanting a little chain hotel consistency.... More

The hotel sits on the edge of Gatlinburg near the park entrance and a close walk to area restaurants/shops. We were there for spring break (April 2012) there was lots of construction outside the hotel. The hallways were super hot and smelled of sewer (maybe construction related?). The breakfast was advertised as a full buffet, however by the time we... More
