Clean rooms. Everyone super nice. Would have given excellent but charging $15 a day to park in your parking is ridiculous and there should be a designated smoking area on the property. If someone is complaining about smoking outside while they are breathing in all the other pollutants in the air then actually they should just stay home. Not being ugly but tired of being treated less than just because I smoke.

Had a great stay here. The staff was friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Parking was convenient, and the breakfast each morning was good with plenty to choose from. The room was quiet, making for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The location is perfect—walking distance to just about everything. And as a bonus, during our stay we even had the pleasure of watching three bears from our balcony as they wandered through the parking lot across the street looking for food. Overall, a memorable and relaxing visit. Highly recommend!

Everyone was super friendly, it was clean, and the beds were comfy. However, the walls are super thin. I know it’s an older hotel, so I guess that makes sense. You hear everything going on in the hallway or neighboring rooms. The parking garage is also a nightmare to navigate. We have a small crossover and it was almost impossible to find a parking spot to fit. Everyone has to park over the lines because the spaces are so small. Leaving the leftover spots about half their normal size.

breakfast was great, rooms were clean, parking is covered but tight spaces. Only 2 elevators so it took a while when hotel was booked. Riverside room had a view of downtown with mountains in the background. Weekend nights were noisy with the live bands from the bars. Overall it was a great stay

This was our 4th visit to Gatlinburg and we have never stayed at the same hotel twice, however I can say we will stay at this Edgewater Hotel again. Staff was great, great location and great views. Hotel is just 1 block away from the main road. Just walk across the parking lot and you are there.
