Hotel Description:
Welcome to the BEST WESTERN Twin Islands where you can enjoy the beauty of the Smoky Mountains. We are located in downtown Gatlinburg on a beautiful landscaped island. Because we are surrounded by mountain streams you can fish right here on the premises or just sit back and enjoy its relaxing sounds. The best thing about the BEST WESTERN Twin Islands is our unique location. While just a mile from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we are next door to Hard Rock Caf and Ripley's Aquarium. Even though we are on the trolley route we are within easy walking distance to shopping, museums and restaurants that make Gatlinburg a favorite vacation destination of millions. The BEST WESTERN Twin Islands' amenities include balconies over a mountain stream, a river walk which is great for walking or fishing, outdoor seasonal pool and even a playground for the children. We hope to see you soon at the BEST WESTERN Twin Islands!

The balcony overlooking the river was wonderful and we enjoyed the river walk and the sounds of the river.
The room was a little smaller than I had expected and the furnishings and decor were somewhat outdated.Best Western Twin Islands is located near the river with a balcony overlooking the river. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the sound of the river that ran right outside our room. We had a great time walking on the river walk around the hotel and looking...Read More

Had a very nice vacation, loved the room. We really used the hot tub!The ice maker didn't work very well, but hey, it was getting over used, know what I mean!The room was very nice. We only had 6 small,8 medium, 6 large towels! Man, we would have been in trouble if we would have needed sears whole stock. But really, we enjoyed the whole stay. Please remember, you can not please all the people all the time! Tha...Read More

It was in pretty convenient area.Missing outlet covers, uncomfortable.I felt bruised from sleeping on the rock hard beds. The bathrooms were not very clean and the outlet covers were missing on several outlets and light switches. Lots of construction in the common areas which made it unsafe for the kids. I'm grateful the tr...Read More

The river view.It was way too small and smelled funny.This hotel was too small. You could barely move around in it. It also had a very "stuffy" smell. Also, when we got in the room we noticed we only had one bath towel. I called housekeeping to get more and they said they would be right down. That was at 5PM...Read More

It was on the river and close to restaurants.The rooms could have been little cleaner.Overall it was o.k. The location was the best feature. We could walk everywhere opposed to having to drive all over.

Overall Rating:
This hotel is very close to attractions and the trolley system.The creek view was marred by the buildings directly across from the hotel.If you want a hotel that is close to attractions and the trolley, and you don't mind staying in a clean, yet older hotel, then this is a good one for you.

Great location in Gatlinburg. Near everything you want to see.Rooms not as new looking as I would have liked, but are clean.I would stay here again just because of how close it was to all the major attractions. We also liked the little river running along it and the walkway around the area. Most of all we enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs out front watching the other touri...Read More
