We loved our stay. The only problem was parking due to a near by restaurant using hotel parking. Other than that it was very clean, quiet, and loved the peaceful view or sound of the river. Nice firepit area to smoke and relax near the hotel. Id stay again for sure!!

The picture of the hotel did not match the one online. Noisy being right next to main rd. Pool and hot tub needed to be cleaned and pool would have been nice if heated

The property is a bit run down. Hot tub did not work. The concrete ramp running up to rooms is crumbling looks like a health hazard. Tv was not good. Picture fuzzy hardly any channels.

The balcony over the river was nice. The sound was amazing. The fridge was huge. The heater on the bathroom was nice. There was a baking dog in one room. I know it's not the hotels fault, but one should know there may be pets in this motel. The bed was pretty good, not fantastic. Great location. It was easy to walk to Annakeesta, and restaurants, and shops. A shirt drive to everywhere.

My family enjoyed the the friendly service from Megan and the staff at the Gatlinburg River Inn. The Room was satisfactory the beds were comfortable, sheets and bedding clean. The bathroom was clean and well equipped with towels and body soap,shampoo and conditioner. Hair dryer the normal amenities. The pool and hot tub were a bit dated but working and clean. The location is perfect right next to the water. Right in walking distance from everything. A nice chill area next to the water with fire pits and chairs. Very cool and peaceful. Breakfast fare was average and nice selection. I do have some suggestions for The Gatlinburg River Inn. A smoking area added to the office side of the building. As it is a great inconvenience to have to walk all the way around the building to go out for a quick smoke. You can not smoke on your balcony. The only other suggestion I have is please upgrade the quality of your toilet paper. I would recommend this place and I would stay again. Thank you to the great ladies in the office you are tops in my book.
