The breakfast menu was good. The hotel is overall very dated. The parking area is super tight. Very hard to get in and out of parking spots. The elevator was also very slow. We liked how we could walk right out of the hotel and onto the main strip of Gatlinburg but in general it felt dated.

The facilities were clean and nice and convenient to the parkway in Gatlinburg. The only issue I had was the confusion trying to find the office and the parking deck. The parking would be my only issue for not staying again. People were very nice and helpful.

On the 8th floor, fingernail clippings on the floor by the nightstand, no hot water - only lukewarm, and hot tun in room needed work! All banged up! Parking was difficult and you had to go up the elevator to check in. I’d never stay here again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stayed at the Edgewater hotel, and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was beautiful and very clean. My room was spacious and comfortable, and the bed was one of the best I’ve slept in while traveling. Breakfast was tasty with a good selection, and the staff made the stay even better with their friendliness. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely stay again!

Labor Day getaway

We enjoyed our stay. This was the first time that we stayed on the strip in Gatlinburg. The hotel is located in a very good area. Easy access to everything. The only thing that I would recommend is that the mattresses could be a little more comfortable. They are very firm.

Breakfast: 1) Would like to see more variety with the breakfast. It was pretty much the same thing every day. For example, maybe you could alternate between bacon and sausage. Perhaps one day offer waffles. 2) Would like to have seen different kinds of creamers for the coffee (ex. vanilla, hazelnut), rather than just plain. 3) The breakfast setup was very clean. From the plastic silverware dispenser to the pancake maker, we noticed much less mess than we usually see at other hotels. We appreciated this very much : ) 4) Loved the milk that was offered : ) Pool: 1) There probably needs to be some sort of signage in the pool area saying how to turn on the jets for the hot tubs. Not many of us knew how to turn these on. And we understood there was some issue with the jets not always working (which, we hope this issue gets resolved), but when they WERE working, it was wonderful : )... Having an inside and outside pool was a real draw for us : ) Service: 1) The service was incredibly friendly. 5 stars for that : )

It was a nice hotel. Just be warned they charge an extra $16.46 ($15 w tax) per day to park in their parking garage. This started in June. I did not book on their website so did not know this. They say you can park on the street but there are never any spots available! It’s downtown Gatlinburg. There are other nice hotels downtown and they don’t charge.

I liked the location which was easy walking distance from the main shopping/restaurant area. What was infuriating was a $15/day charge to park in the hotel parking garage. In all my years of travel, I have never had to pay for parking as a hotel guest. This charge alone means I would never stay there again and would not recommend this hotel to any traveler. The room itself was nice, however, the refrigerator was loud and the microwave had an annoying continuous clicking sound when not in use. I had to unplug it when not in use. On a bright note, the maid service was excellent. Two more negatives: maintenance had to come every other day to reprogram the tv because it kept disconnecting to the Internet, and there is only one elevator in the entire eight story hotel, sometimes causing long waits, particularly with guests & housekeeping using the elevator during the day. As stated earlier, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

It was a beautiful hotel, staff was great, very clean, wildlife right out your window, close to the strip, the only thing that brought the score down was the parking, the parking garage is not very tall and it was difficult in a full sized truck. But doable
