my boyfriend and i loved this inn. it was newly renovated and very clean so it made it very nice! our only complaint is that there's very few parking spots so be prepared for survival of the fittest to get a spot near your room. would definitely recommend it.

No central air. Smoking policy too strict. Maintenance man lazy. Asked him to change light bulb in bathroom. When we left 3 days later still not changed. Hotel is way outdated. Girl that checked me in made feel discriminated because I am a smoker.

Clean, comfortable beds, great towels, old furniture, under going renovations so public areas are a bit crummy. Very mediocre cold breakfast. Nice balconies; good location for Smokies access.

Thank you for reviewing River Edge Motor Lodge. We appreciate your feedback, especially about our good location. We are so fortunate to be located within easy walking distance of downtown Gatlinburg and within easy access of the Smokey Mountain National Park. We are still in the process of renovating the entire property, including our breakfast selection once the breakfast area is renovated. If you enjoyed the renovated rooms, you will like the other improvements once they are completed. We enjoyed hosting your nice stay, and we hope you will stay with us again.

Lots of room for improvement

Pros: Close to downtown Gatlinburg and entrance to Smoky Mountain National Park.
Cons: See items listed under "Your Experience."
Location: Located at the end of the main drag, many local attractions are within walking distance.
Overall, this hotel experience is no better than average at best A sign indicates improvements are being made, and boy, do they need it. Our room (already improved) had a very noisy HVAC unit. There are almost no electrical outlets accessible for charging cell phones or working on a laptop computer. The lighting is poor. The bed is very uncomfortable and the "extra pillows" on the bed were nasty. This is by no means a "budget" hotel, but the room, accommodations, amenities, overall appearance and condition left us feeling very disappointed.

6th Anniversary

Great overall experience. My wife and I spent a week here as we had to find a new place from previous years as the bed and breakfast we have stayed at for 6 years, sadly burned in the fires last year. We had a newly remodeled room with a jacuzzi and fireplace in a nicely updated bathroom. Only negative here may be there was no step to get into the tub, which made it a little difficult. Only other negative would be that the WiFi wouldn't connect or stay connected due to "possible security threats" on our phones, again no biggie. Overall they are in the process of updating the entire facility, and we will most likely return next year.
