Thanks to staff and all for a wonderful vacation. We needed a vacation and boy did we get one! The free breakfast was exceptional and the service was great. The location of this hotel can't be beat as it is located just off the main street in town. The in room fridge and microwave unit helps out a lot. The... More

Rooms were not very good, kind of small. Bathroom was cramped, carpet worn. My window looked out on the employee parking/smoking area and the grease dumpster, so much for... More

Very nice older hotel. Our room was spotless. Electrical outlets were few but typical for this age of hotel. Very small bathroom. More

The hotel is older and could do with a remodel but for the money was ok clean and did the job. Breakfast was free and that was the price I would have paid, although every meal we got in Gatlinburg was bad. Staff was helpful and location was good. More

I hosted a conference at the Edgewater for the 3rd time last week and the staff and service were excellent. This is a group of young professionals that enjoyed the night life, shopping and the mountains. The hotel is in a perfect location for a group of probably 250 people. The view was outstanding, the staff were great, and the... More
