We recently stayed at the Edgewater Hotel for the eighth time because in the past it was always a great experience. However, this time was much different. We will not be staying at the Edgewater in the future because of the treatment we received while there. The front desk agent who checked us in acted very irritated by us and... More

My husband and I and our son and his family spend a weekend in the Smoky Mountains. We like to hike so we wanted to stay near the park entrance. We chose the Edgewater Hotel because of its location. Great choice. It was off the main road, which was good; but you could walk to everything. I liked the sound... More

Stayed in king suite on 8th floor best view of all Gatlinburg and mountains. Planning another trip in September. Usually stay at Clarion but too many hidden fees. Very clean and rooms are a good size. Highly recommend.

This was a very nice place to stay. Close to everything but still in a quiet location. It was very clean and was exactly as advertised.If we ever went back to Gatlinburg this is where I would stay again.

Wonderful Hotel! Our room overlooked the river and was extremely nice. We were with a group of kids that were there for the Smoky Mountain Music Festival. All the kids enjoyed the heated pool and the game area. The kids went through alot of towels, all we had to do was notify the staff and they were right there with... More

We stayed in this hotel in May 2010 and again in March 2013. Both experiences were good. During the most recent stay we enjoyed the heated pool, the temperature was comfortable, even though it was only in the 40's-50's the two days we were there. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the employees courteous. Parking is not so great... More

Let me start by saying that Gatlinburg is very crowded and "touristy", but if you are going to go to Gatlinburg - then this hotel is the best. First, it is within walking distance to all major attractions (aquarium, skylift, space needle, and all Ripley's attractions, trolley stop), plenty of restaurants, and it is directly on the river. However, it... More
