My husband and I just stayed at the Edgewater Hotel and had an enjoyable stay. We stayed last year as well. We got the special, stay 2 nights and get one free. The breakfast was ok, however, I wished they had fresh fruit, or even fruit cups. Someone said the restaurant is now closed down, but you still eat your... More

The rooms were very clean and quiet. The free Wi Fi was a nice ammenity, which we used extensibly. Elevators, as others have stated, were... More

We stay here about twice a year when visiting the smokies. It is convenient to the national park and right in the middle of everything in Gatlinburg. Very nice indoor outdoor heated pool that kids love and 2 hot tubs which are kept clean. The rooms are always very clean...believe me, I check closely. Mountain side view is nothing to... More

Room was average and dated. Watch out for all of the hotel 'rules' (e.g., curfew at midnight, $300 if you break the fragile door lock, etc.)! GREAT location - 1 block off the main drag so you are close to everything but don't get the noise and traffic. Lots of parking. Biggest problem - the elevators are horribly slow. Taking... More

I looked at the hotel online prior to booking, it seemed nice, so I booked. Staying in town for business, I thought that it would be nice to be close to everything. Boy, the staff was not helpful, the amenities reflected on the webiste (resturant, working exercise equipment) were not available. I was so disappointed, I completely understand why the... More

We were in room 419, which is right above the outside pool. Sleeping area is good sized but the bathroom is strickly 1 person room. If you are standing in front of toilet - you can't close the door. You have to move beside the toilet to get the door closed. I'm guessing that this is an artifact from an... More

We visited this hotel in early May with 44 picky guests in 28 rooms. First, the front desk staff made check-in a breeze...this was the easiest check-in I have ever experienced. The rooms are clean, very spacious, and well-eqipped with refrigerators and microwaves. Again, the front desk staff was helpful with directions and suggestions. As a matter-of-fact, I saw staff...
