Room 112: What appears to be mold on the ceiling (about a five-foot square of it); cobwebs; shower hard to work, but once you figure it out, the temp is not regulated. It went from hot to cold during the entire shower. There were outlines on the wall from where light fixtures had been replaced. The TV reception went from... more

Tucked in behind some larger hotels, the River's Edge is in a good spot for visiting the smokies. Due to it's age, it is less expensive. The AC units are all 30 years old and noisy. There is a little fridge and microwave in each room. There is a secret walking path directly uphill to the main road. There is... more

This is an old hotel. However, you can do small things to improve the facility. The hotel depicted in the video on the website is not the one that you will check into. The towels were ragged and frayed around the edges. The shower curtain was ripped at the top. The door between the adjoining rooms had been patched from... more

We just returned from this motel and had a wonderful time. I was anxious after reading reviews on here that our room would be smelly or dirty. However, the room was clean and didn't have any bad odors. We got the Honeymoon Jacuzzi Suite which was cozy and clean. The jacuzzi was clean and relaxing. The shower nozzle was broken... more

The front desk was accommodating, the rooms wereclean, and very, very quiet. It is a motor inn, not the Hilton, but very good value, and felt very safe as a woman traveling alone. more

My family arrived late on a Friday night for a weekend get away with friends. We rented the 301 Family suite so we would have enough room and be together. When we entered the room at 12am with 3 small children it reeked of smoke and a musty oder. It was so late at night that we did not call... more

We requested a non-smoking room and we were given a smoking room that reeked. They could not change the rooms because they were fully booked. They did offer to try, but could find a room, so they sprayed the room to cover the scent. It worked for about 2 hours then it reeked again. We checked out a day early... more

My husband and I stayed here with 2 teenage daughters for 2 nights while vacationing in the area. The hotel was pretty tired, even if the room was clean. The light fixture covering in the bathroom was broken and just leaning against the bathroom wall, the shower was an issue, couldn't maintain an even temperature...the hot water was turned too... more

Reading some positive comments and few negative thought that motel would be probably ok. Rates were inexpensive so we reserved deluxe room with fireplace. Room and motel were worn, but with the inexpensive rate, that's ok. But, the smell of the room was not ok. Not even a close to ok. Thought room was no-smoking smell was a horrible mixture... more

We went to Gatlinburg and stayed at the River Edge Motel. From the Outside and parts inside, the hotel needed a good update, but the rooms were clean and nice size. One of the problems my wife stated was the small bars of soap and the packets of shampoo/conditioner. Both she and I were used to bottles of shampoo, conditioner... more
