Clean rooms and a pleasant stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Not exactly on the edge of the river, as the name might suggest. But it is close enough to a stream of beautiful, fresh, flowing water that can be enjoyed as one walks along the street. The best part is its location, which is not far from some of the main attractions.

This was our first stay at River Edge Inn. We were especially impressed with the exceptional staff. Thru were all very friendly and extremely helpful! We noticed there was no cold water in our shower. They sent someone right away to check it. When it couldn’t be repaired right away they offered us another room & made the transition as smooth as possible. The rooms were very spacious. Everything was quite quiet. Breakfast was continental but all items were name brand. Many restaurants close by. We hope to be back!

I liked the balcony and the beds were comfortable. Shower was clean. Good amount of space and extra sink was nice to have. Air conditioner until was loud and made rattling noise which made it hard to fall asleep and interrupted sleep every night. Had spiders in our room and one night i woke up in middle of the night to find a cocroach crawling under my shirt.

Rooms need soundproofing

Service was friendly. Location is walkable to Gatlinburg attractions. Bed was comfortable. What more do you want? Quiet. That's what you want and this place didn’t have it. Our room had an adjourning room. In that room was a family of 4. Boy (Kyler or Tyler) and a younger girl(Cammie). I never met them. I know their names from the mom yelling them in the room until after midnight. Of course, they yelled back. The boy also had a large superball that he bounced on the wall between our rooms. The worst was them opening their door between our rooms and then trying the knob to come in our room, only to have mom slam the door. Dad was in the shower the whole time. ("Just wait until your dad is done with his shower.) And when Mom wasn't looking Kyler would do something to bully his sister and make her whine or cry. He would laugh maniacally. Mom would scold the girl. And I could hear all this in the room next door.

Everything was good! My only complaint is that the A/C unit would stop running at night and we’d wake up to a room that’s 76 degrees. We asked the front desk about it and they didn’t really do anything so we didn’t sleep very well. Know that breakfast is only grab and go and they don’t have a kitchen. Otherwise, the place was clean and enjoyable.

The property is aged. A smell was in the room; maybe add an air freshener. The shampoo, conditioner and body wash were not refilled but empty. Our room card was left out requesting towels, shampoo, coffee, etc for 5 people but it was not replaced. My husband had to go down and retrieve the items on two separate days. The staff was very nice overall. I believed they were understaffed. No big deal as we didn’t mind requesting our own items. I will say the location is perfect for entering and exiting the city and GSM.
