"The hotel is on the older side but has been kept up well. The hotel itself is the staple of any picture taken of the city of Gatlinburg as it sits atop of a large hill in town. We stay there recently and were surprised to find out that since our last stay a few years ago, you are now charged $ 20.00 a day on your card upon check out for parking. In our room you could hear the sliding doors to the room above us open and close , but not a deal breaker. Overall the Park Vista has most of the amenities that you will need. A nice hotel at a reasonable rate with fantastic views."
