Staff was friendly and helpful! Our room was clean and included a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. We had a balcony with an extra locking mechanism for safety and we could see the pool from our room. Even though we did not use the pool during our stay, it looked clean and inviting. This hotel is very conveniently located to all the Ripely Attractions, shopping on the strip, and several restaurants. It is right next door to the Ripley Aquarium! The hotel is a little dated, but we can tell a lot of work and care has been put into maintaining the property, so it doesn’t look “outdated,” and much as it had an older charm. We look forward to staying again upon our next chip to Gatlinburg!

We enjoyed our stay at the Edgewater! Our room had a fireplace, and a very small balcony (2chairs +table). The room was spacious and the bathroom had wonderful counter space. The elevators are very, very slow. The hotel employees are helpful and friendly.

The location of the property is great. The room was ok, the beds were a little too stiff for our liking but not horrible. The part that we wish we had known more about was the parking garage. My husband has a Chevrolet truck and we did not expect to have such a hard time parking in the garage. Cars picking wherever they wanted to park and taking the tall vehicle parking spots. It caused a lot of uncertainty of damage to our vehicle and if we would even be able to maneuver in the garage to begin with. Having to pay to park was also a little ridiculous with all the complications that come with parking t

Great views, decent accommodations

Our check in experience was amazing! Quick, easy, friendly and they allowed us to check-in early. The room was clean but it could definitely use some updating. The breakfast options were basic and not really anything that we wanted to eat. The food did not look appetizing. Coffee wasn’t so great either but it worked. Location in town is great for walking to all the shops and restaurants and the views are outstanding. We would stay there again and recommend it to others.

This was in Gatlinburg, TN. Location was excellent, close to strip. Security questioned my daughter (21) coming in at 4 am and followed her to the room. Asking if she had a reservation, name, etc. With all the bars and everything in Gatlinburg, is it so unusual that someone is coming in late?

Pretty good place to stay - parking is awful

I went there when it was pretty loaded up with people. the parking situation is terrible. The elevator is borderline useless when lots of people are there. They need more parking options badly. Getting in and out of there is a pain.
