We stayed for a long weekend and the only complaint I have is the parking garage. It's really tight parking spots. But other than that the place was fine. We enjoyed the pool, half was inside and you swim under a wall and the other half was indoors.

Positives: Great area.

Negatives: Parking garage.

This is nothing more than a Day's Inn at a much higher price. Among the strikes for this place were thin walls, (could hear entire conversations through them), a ripped comforter, weird ceiling stain, gross shower curtain, and terrible locks on the doors. Also, looked like our room had been broken into before!

Positives: Large rooms.

Negatives: Bad locks on doors, ripped comforter, weird ceiling stain, groddy shower curtain and

Very unimpressed with outside. The rooms reflected the outside. Beds were new but pillows smelled moldy. Shower takes time to figure out nob's and get the water pressure right. Fridge did not work. You could see the cockroaches in the stairs. The light fixture fell on top of me in the bathroom, so my party was moved to another room. In the bathrooms you can see pink mold in the caulk. Fireplace was the best thing about the second room. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Positives: It's located in downtown Gatlinburg so it is very close to the attractions.

Negatives: Overall, it's a cockroach hotel.

I wasn't expecting much, but it was worth that.

Positives: At least it was cheap.

Negatives: Needs remodeling badly.

The location is great! Services are within walking distance and everything is convenient.

Positives: They remodeled the rooms. New wallpaper and carpets, really pretty.

Negatives: They need to replace the old wooden doors. The doors had cracks in them. They do not have 24 hour service at the front desk.

River Edge Motor Lodge, why you don't want to stay here. <BR><BR>Do not stay here! <BR><BR>Rooms are dark and very outdated. The most likely undocumented maids with their child in hand were not finished cleaning the room when we arrived. The back door to the room was unlocked when we arrived. As we walked in the door it smelled of a dirty vacuum cleaner. There were stains on two of the chairs. The refrigerator didn't work well. It wasn't cold. The carpet felt as though it hadn't been cleaned in twenty years. The wall paper was separating from the walls and there were cob webs dangling from the ceiling. Tub/shower water valve had no control, it was either too hot or too cold, nothing in between. <BR><BR>Scalding hot water.

Positives: I was able to leave.

Negatives: I stayed here.

Anyone that gives this dump a good review should have their heads checked. This place is a complete dump. It's a poor excuse for somewhere to sleep.

Positives: Nothing

Negatives: Everything

It's an okay hotel. The location was great. The rooms were big. The remote controls batteries kept falling out. The balcony view wasn't that great on first floor. I had a view of the parking lot and pool.

Positives: It's location.

Negatives: The beds were uncomfortable. The parking was tight.

We had a great time on our trip. The lodge was in a very close location. Staff was very friendly. We felt very comfortable there.

Positives: Staff was very friendly. We were happy to have a fireplace.

Negatives: Wallpaper in bathroom was peeling and the mattress has stains.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 27 Aug 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

I found that the room met my needs for the two day stay. Many conveniences were located in the room, hair dryer, coffee maker as well as wifi. Located off the main street, it was quiet but well within walking distance of everything we wanted to do.

Positives: Location is within walking distance of everything.

Negatives: Bed was not very comfortable, bathroom needed minor repairs.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 31 Jul 2010 rated 4 out of 10.

Close to all major activities in downtown Gatlinburg area. Pool was nice. No service at night. We got back to room late and needed blankets, but could not get any or any extra towels. Breakfast was just bagels, muffins, donuts and cereal. Website shows biscuits and gravy, but we saw none over three mornings. If you don't get up early to breakfast then their was nothing left. Balcony has sticky areas on concrete.

Positives: Location was good.

Negatives: Only have service from eight am to ten pm. No assistance after that. Breakfast was very minimal and too little quantity.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 05 Jul 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

We were very happy with the room. It was clean and spacious. The only problem was that the shower was hard to control the water temperature. Otherwise, we could see this would be a nice place to return and spend several days at a time in comfort and relaxation.

Positives: Clean room and friendly staff.

Negatives: Very little provided for breakfast.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 26 Jun 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

Old, dirty, no maintenance in years. Stay far away from this rat hole.

Negatives: It is a dump.

Overpriced.

This hotel is comfortable and a perfect location to see all the sites. It was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. I would actually stay there again, if I visit the Smoky Mountains again.

Positives: The location was perfect. Staff was very helpful. Our room comfortable! Great time.

Negatives: There wasn't a problem.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 30 Sep 2009 rated 3 out of 10.

Good location. Very old and not updated for at least 25 years. Rooms run down and beds lumpy. Room smelled musty. Had to turn heat on over the weekend and it set off the fire alarm.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Dirty and smelled. All employees always outside smoking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 28 Aug 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

They let us check in early because our room was ready which was really nice. The staff was friendly and helpful with providing anything we needed or questions we had.

Positives: It was really quiet. It was really clean.

Negatives: The sink had a slow drain and we had to pull the stopper out with our fingers. That was the only inconvenience.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 16 Aug 2009 rated 5 out of 10.

this hotel was clean and quiet. the shower was very touchy with the hot water, and the bathroom was small. linens for the beds were just worn out, and the sheets would not stay on the mattress. overall, it was a decent place to stay for the money, and it was a quiet place to rest with the family after a busy day. The pool closed earlier than what was stated, and it was pretty small.

Positives: it was clean and quiet

Negatives: linens were worn out, shower was touchy

It was more than what<BR/>I expected for the price<BR/>I paid even though it wasnt really fancy.

Positives: One of the most spacious I've ever been in.

Negatives: The air conditioner leaked and caused the carpet to get wet.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 03 Jul 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Clean spacious rooms. We had 2 double beds, microwave, mini fridge, fireplace. We walked to shops and restaurants. Very close to Bennett and The Peddlar (2 very good restaurants) and the tram to the ski resort. Also, when coming into Gatlinburg from Cherokee you turn at the second red light to get to the hotel. Nice to avoid heavy traffic in Gatlinburg. The by-pass to Pigeon Forge is close too. I hate the traffic in Gatlinburg with a passion so it was nice to be able to avoid it. My only complaint was the breakfast. Don't bother with it. The OJ was good, everything else was tasteless. We would stay here again (got a good price through priceline.com). The pool was clean and refreshing (on the small side) but we had it to ourselves for the hour we used it before going to dinner. You can hear the mountain stream as soon as you step outside your door and walk beside it to the shops. Very pretty with all the flower baskets everywhere. Had a nice long weekend stay.

Positives: Clean spacious rooms, nice pool, easy walking to shops and restaurants.

Negatives: Breakfast is a waste of time. Good OJ pass on everything else.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 05 Jun 2009 rated 9 out of 10.

It had many great features for the price. It was walking distance from everything in downtown Gatlinburg that we wanted to do.

Positives: Beds were comfortable. Nicely decorated. Fireplace. Many nice features for the price. even continental breakfast.

Negatives: We thought the pool was suppose to be heated? It was way too cold to swim.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 04 Jun 2009 rated 5 out of 10.

For the price that we paid, it was a good hotel. It was very close to everything my husband and<BR/>I wanted to do, but is was also away from all the crowds and noise of downtown. The room was good, except for the bad smell of mold. The staff were very nice and helpful, though.

Positives: It was convenient to downtown.

Negatives: The room smelled of mold.
