Very nice but watch out in the parking garage!

The good things: The room and the hotel in general were really nice, and clean, and quiet. We very much enjoyed sitting out on our own balcony and watching the river and the people. There were a good number of food choices for the breakfast buffet. The location was excellent-very close to the main strip of Gatlinburg, just one street over, so it was very easy to walk over. The staff was also excellent. It was very convenient to be able to park right at the hotel in the attached parking garage. The only bad thing: In the parking garage, in the section marked "Tall Vehicles" there was a 10"-12" wide pipe running along one section below the 8' high ceiling, in the back of the parking spots on one side. It was painted white like the ceiling and walls, so it did not stand out, and when we were backing our Suburban in, because the pipe extended down so far, we scratched the top of the liftgate up pretty badly. This pipe should be painted or striped in a different, bright color so that it can be seen and avoided!

This is a very old property—almost historic—so you have to keep that in mind when you book it, as far as the layout and the amenities. It's also badly in need of renovations, and parking can probably be tricky during peak season. With that said, we would stay again...It's just too convenient to get to parkway and all the shops, restaurants, and activities. The staff is great. From the clerks to the maintenance guys, the breakfast crew, and the room attendees. All top-notch people.

Fireplace didn’t work, and toilet barely flushed. Hotel is older and could use a refresh. Generally near everything. I would stay again.

Loved everything. Only thing is the pool isnt actually heated as it was freezing & the chemicals of the hot tub burned our eyes but would stay again. Also the entrance to the parking garage the potholes are horrible.

From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff were incredibly welcoming and got us checked in quickly. Parking is a bit tight, but once you’re parked, everything is within walking distance—no need to move your car. The pool area, which includes two hot tubs, was a lot of fun and perfect for relaxing. If you’re traveling with family, there’s plenty to do nearby. We had a riverside town view, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. Breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety. The only downside was the long wait for the elevator at times, but overall, we had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this hotel!

We liked the location however the condition of the property was under average. The rooms were small as well as the balcony. We could not enjoy the balcony for several reasons such as little the balcony area was, the chairs were dirty, there were cobwebs on the windows. The bathroom was very small, you had to move towards the sink area just to close the door. NO exhaust fan, toilet flushing was extremely slow. It made us stand there until to totally flush even when there eas just urine. Coming from another hotel Edgewater was a big let down. The breakfast crew did not talk to anyone. The food was the same both days and the must have been something going on cause it was very busy in the breakfast area every day.
