My stay at the Rivers Edge Inn.
It is a nice hotel. My only complaint whould be that the outside door was very hard to close. You had to slam it to get it to shut. The door to the balcony was extremely hard to open. Other than that it was fine.

Cute but nasty
The room was cute but things were very dirty. Please just remove the soiled couch. No one is going to sit or sleep on it. I wouldn’t put my luggage on it. The curtains were even worse !

This place is amazingly clean and is a great place to stay! My wife and I love how good the room smelt when we walked in. This property is 0.7 miles away from Anakeesta (bonus)! All in all would stay again. Staff is super friendly and accommodating!

Location great, budget friendly
Budget friendly, quiet location within walking distance to all things downtown, close to the Gatlinburg trail for walking, clean rooms. If you are looking for a place to sleep after a day of exploring with no frills, then this place is for you. Staff were friendly as well.

The location is great it’s quiet and very calm vibe. The room was a lil dated but the area is perfect. The river is across the road a the trail head is about a 7 minute walk. Easy access to the strip and shopping.

Irregular Temperature
Water is the shower was HOT - could not make it warm even with the handle to the far right! Also sink in bathroom had no hot water. Air conditioner did not keep the room at a consistent temperature - we were either cold or warm

This hotel is horrible
When we arrived it took some time to get registered even though we pre registered. The place is dingy old and the outside was filthy. There was mold on the balcony’s the room was filthy the air conditioner did not work properly the shower had no pressure and the fireplace did not work. Got back to the hotel one night and got a contact high from all the pot smoking on the property. Dogs barked all night from various rooms. I would never ever stay here again. And the breakfast was a joke. It was a grab and go prepackaged breakfast. I got a white milk and it was spoiled. The clerk just played it off and got in the fridge and threw all the milk away. What a dump

Awesome location, convenient to ride to the Smokies as well as explore Gatlinburg. Room service was great, everything was neat and tidy, there was a pool. The only complaint that I had was the breakfast not reaching my level of expectation. It was mostly readymade food. Otherwise, would absolutely recommend this for a long stay!

Comfortable stay in convenient location
We enjoyed our stay; the unit was clean and comfortable. It was a short walk to downtown and a short drive to the national park. Some minor cosmetic improvements could be made.
