The hotel is a little older but nice and comfortable with new denver mattresses. The fireplace was very nice, it was on a timer so if you fell asleep it would cut off. Staff was very nice kind and attentive. I would stay there again. More

My wife and I spent last Thursday through Sunday night at River Edge Motor Lodge. I admit, that the "bad" reviews caused us to be hyper vigilant. But we were pleased to find it was a great place to spend our long weekend. We stayed in room #306. It was a spacious room with a gas fireplace, a balcony, and... More

We celebrated our 7 year anniversary at the River Edge. We have stayed in Gatlinburg many times, due to us living 45 mins away. We will definately stay here for our future visits. We wanted a nice, quite, relaxing weekend away together, and got more! The fireplace added just the right romantic touch. We were at first second guessing ourselves... More

I loved this hotel! This hotel has such a great location. Yes it's an older hotel, but that's what you're going to get in Gatlinburg. That's the charm of the place. If you want an upscale, shiny, chrome plated hotel, then you need to be somewhere else. The hotel was located right across the street from the river and from... More

I booked this room at priceline.com, the price was great. I did not look up any info about the rooms. The room and location are great. Close to everything in town. However, I did not have a chance to take advantage of the location. If the weather is not cold, walking up and down the street will be ideal. The... More

We booked this hotel through Orbitz for our Christmas getaway and when we arrived, immediately realized it was not as described. The fireplace was the only thing nice about the hotel room. The pool was empty not heated and there was no jacuzzi. We checked out after the first day and booked for 3 nights. They had tons of vacancy... More

One block from main drag; one block from tram lift and Ripley's museum. This is a great option for those who want a low cost option that doesn't require the car to site see. The staff was super nice. Let us use the wi-fi and leave our car in the lot even after we checked out. Best features of the... More

I am writing to let everyone know the review's you might read about River Edge are not alway's true; my husband and I are on a tight budget so we look for economy; clean but cost efficent. We had a very large room and it was very clean; the staff was wonderful. The motel is older and could use redecorating... More

I have read reviews on this site and another travel site and i was concerned due to the many negitive comments. We decided to go ahead and reserve a room as we got a good rate (15% for 3+ days). Upon arrival,... More
