Enjoyed another stay at the Gatlinburg River Inn

We stayed at this hotel in May and again in September. It’s not a fancy hotel, but we don’t look for fancy. Location is perfect as you can easily walk into downtown Gatlinburg and catch the free trolley right across from the hotel. We loved sitting along the river by the fire pits enjoying cocktails and planning our evening. The balconies don’t have tables, but we remembered that and brought our own collapsible table with us on this trip. The rooms (at least the two rooms we have stayed in) don’t have closets, but we didn’t have things to hang up so it didn’t matter to us. Good bang for your buck.

Pet-friendly and close to shopping and dining options. Walkable distance to the downtown area, with a trolley stop nearby for those who don’t want to walk (trolley is not pet friendly). Parking is available onsite, which is a blessing in a town where paid parking gets expensive and free parking is very slim. Breakfast was good. The building needs some TLC, and the floor in our room appeared to be a laminate-type product that had seen some moisture over time, but the room was clean and comfortable and there were areas onsite for our dogs to potty stocked with potty bags, fire pits with complimentary fire wood, corn hole games, etc. The balcony in our room was a nice place to sit and listen to the river. Overall, a very good stay.

New rooms make this place better.

It’s a 15 or 25 minute walk to the Main Street, which is nice because there is less noise here. The hotel itself looks dated but my room was recently remodeled and looked and felt nice/comfortable. Covered parking was a bonus. The river view is alright; alright because the river itself is alright. Price was very affordable.

Good location and price. Property was just old and in need of updating. While room was clean the floor was peeling up and had a smell of mold to it. Bathtub while clean was very stained and rusted. The bed was very comfortable and clean.

AMAZING GEM OF A PLACE!!

Such a gem of a place! I love the lights by the water with the fire pits, hammocks, and picnic tables! So magical! Our room was clean, bed was comfortable, and we had a darling fireplace in our room! The staff was so kind and friendly. We loved this place so much that we are already planning a trip back! The free breakfast was great too!
