Good breakfast 🍳 included FREE! The cost of restaurants near the strip is outrageous! Save hundreds on breakfast at Edgewater. Location so convenient just behind the strip, walking distance saves $ on parking fees. Walk across covered bridge over river near Aquarium. 4 ⭐️ as it could use a little updating. behind the strip with views of river directly in front of hotel and Saved a lot on parking just behind Gatlinburg Strip sav

For the price of the romantic room it is not worth it. The bed was not comfortable, not to mention the jets barely worked in the tub. Staff was friendly and breakfast was good. About the only good thing. The whole weekend there was kids screaming in the pool at all hours and running up and down the hallways all night long. I would recommend another hotel.

Convenient location. Friendly staff. Terrible room. The toilet was tilted, there was a fly fishing lure with hook in the floor that my 6 year old found. The heat was off when we arrived and it was 53 degrees in the room. The elevators were always full and very slow. Even with the balcony door open you could clearly hear the road noise and people screaming on the strip late at night. Overall would not stay here again.
