⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stayed at the Edgewater hotel, and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was beautiful and very clean. My room was spacious and comfortable, and the bed was one of the best I’ve slept in while traveling. Breakfast was tasty with a good selection, and the staff made the stay even better with their friendliness. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay again!

Only thing good is In a good location. Parking garage is a nightmare to park in. Elevator is also a nightmare. My balcony door only has a small aluminum bar that is not very sturdy holding it closed. No lock what so ever. Beds are horrible to sleep in. Not comfy at all. On day of checkout was getting everything together way before checkout and housekeeping opens my door and closes it back after they realize we were in there. Hotel is really outdated and old dingy looking. Had a piece of bread that had been in floor behind the chest for a very long time. Cost is way too much for what it is.

The breakfast was awful, despite all the advertising of hot and cold breakfast. It took forever to refill the stuff, quality of food was unacceptable. The room was relatively clean but they were short in clean towels and for every item we had to go downstairs. This was even worse with the terrible function of elevators. I don’t recommend it.

Not very clean

We didn’t have any issues. The only feed back I would provide is the parking pass paper work with the price you sign needs to be updated to the current price , our room was not cleaned my toddler found an empty Cason’s bottle , I found a used razor in the shower. And the. Room smelled awful. Cleaning needs to better.

Good location but nothing else is good.

The hotel is in dyer need of maintenance and updating. We had to pay $15 per day for parking which was ridiculously tight. The elevators took forever to arrive. From tge driveway to the rooms, it looks like nothing has been maintained since the 80's. The beds were clean but made a lot of noise. The breakfast was a typical hotel breakfast. Location to the strip is convenient but that is about the only plus of the hotel.

My husband and I went for a long weekend. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. The room had plenty of towels and wash cloths. The ice machine was not far from the room. The fridge kept our drinks chilled to perfection. The breakfast options were more than i expected with eggs, biscuits, gravy and sausage as some of the items available. The coffee tasted great. Would stay there again.

This hotel was very nice and conveniently located in downtown Gatlinburg. Everything is walking distance. The room was very nice and clean, pools were decent too. The only downside is that parking is not included with the booking of a room.. They charge $16 to park per DAY!! You will be spending close to $40 just to park for a weekend at this location.

We were really excited to stay in this location as it is very convenient to all of Gatlinburg. The rooms are very clean. The people who check you in are very nice and knowledgeable. However if you drive a taller vehicle there is limited and very tight parking and if you wish to park in an open lot 2 blocks from the hotel it is an extra $16 per night. There is no ventilation in the elevators. There are two elevators total and a set of stairs at each end of the buiding. The fourth floor begins the accommodation s. The pool is very small for the size of the hotel and extremely humid. Our room did not have a ventilation fan in the bathroom and if you have a double bed room there is not much room to go out onto the balcony on the river side.
