“I think this Holiday Inn Express distinguishes itself with an indoor water park, perfect for families seeking kid-friendly fun right on site. The location is superb; you're close to the Parkway action, but with a handy trolley stop nearby, navigating Gatlinburg is easy. I especially like that it's an affordable base for exploring the Smokies-and that free parking seals the deal.”
