Hotels in GatlinburgAn older, independent 3-star riverside hotel in downtown Gatlinburg
8.0/10
A strong downtown base if location matters more than modern rooms.
Edgewater is an older, independent 3-star beside the Little Pigeon River, and it's a strong pick for exploring Gatlinburg on foot. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise the convenient location, friendly staff and generally clean rooms. Private balconies, included hot continental breakfast and a heated indoor-outdoor pool with hot tubs give this straightforward hotel useful extras, especially for families.
The trade-off is age rather than a shortage of amenities: room-update complaints recur, and some bathrooms are cramped. Parking deserves particular attention—the covered garage costs extra, can get congested and has a low clearance that complicates arrivals with larger vehicles. We'd choose it for a practical downtown stay, but skip it if contemporary rooms, spacious bathrooms or easy oversized-vehicle parking are priorities.
