Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown by IHG
It is a nice hotel, conveniently located, and very clean. We had everything needed for the stay, and the only odd thing was that the declared hours of operation of the cafe and bar did not match the real hours when we were there; they closed a couple of hours earlier in the evening.
