I expected a 3 star property which it wasn't. Some remodeling done in the room, about half of it is still showing old decrepit motel remnants. Also a "breakfast, I wouldn't call it.

I like that it is really close to the strip. The room was clean. This was our second time staying here. The room was extremely humid inside, made everything feel really damp so sleeping was not comfortable.That was the only bad thing. The AC leaked all over the floor so that might have created the humidity. But I did let management know so they could address it. Other than that it was a great stay again.

Only complaint I have is that the jacuzzi suite the glass panel is on the wrong end of the tub, so you have to get into the tub, to turn on the water. And the hot and cold water were backwards. Overall the bed was great, clean room, good location.

My stay at the Rivers Edge Inn.

It is a nice hotel. My only complaint whould be that the outside door was very hard to close. You had to slam it to get it to shut. The door to the balcony was extremely hard to open. Other than that it was fine.

Absolutely ridiculous based on the pictures they show it looks so amazing they only give you one option of rooms to stay in so you think you’re getting this luxury get away and when we arrived it was completely opposite so bad that I took a video as proof and asked the front desk and they told me that everyone says that and there’s nothing they can do because they already took the money did not offer any forms of refunds and told me to talk to Expedia about it being half way across the US I felt I had no choice but to just stick it out instead of losing almost 600 dollars for this fake hotel complete disappointment and made me extremely upset and there lack of help and knowing that that’s the skeem they run is so disheartening if you’re going to book here just know you’re getting a old dirty room nothing nice the whole place smells like mold highly do not recommend

This property is on River Road so it's not on the parkway (huge bonus). You can tell the owners have taken an older property and fixed it up very nicely. Everything from the exterior to the decor and sheets and pillows are current, clean, and updated. There is a no smoking policy of any kind, so know that before you book. They are also pet friendly- but under 50 lbs. The woman and young man at the front desk are so amazing and helpful. They have a free grab and go breakfast or you can walk to several breakfast restaurants. The pool was always clean and inviting. This property is within walking distance to the Gatlinburg Trail. Definately the place you want to stay if you want to be close to parkway but in a quiet serene setting.
