Econo Lodge Inn & Suites on the River

This hotel is in an excellent location. It is just a short walk to many attractions. The room was very spacious and the view was wonderful. The price was great. I honestly did not expect the room to be as nice as it was.

The parking is very tight at night. If you are able to get a parking spot leave your car and walk to the attractions.

We liked the location and the river view. The room was comfortable and decorated nicely.

The bathroom is very tight. We walked a mile back to the hotel at around 9:30pm and it was cold out so we just wanted a hot shower. The shower handle would only turn so far and it was just a little warmer than lukewarm. That was disappointing.

The location was great. We were here for our daughters wedding. Two days before the trip I had to have emergency back surgery. We called and asked for a ground floor room and the one we got was handicap accessible. Just what we needed. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I give them a ten. We will come back and stay here again.

Staff was great. Room was clean. Balcony over river had lovely view. Very good coffee in office!

Not entirely comfortable with having an adjoining room although it seemed to have good lock. Distance was a bit far from town for walking but doable.

Everything else was great for the price

The only thing I could complain About is the parking. The parking lot is so small and tight it was difficult maneuvering

loved the location. the staff kept us stocked up with fresh towels and toiletries. we had the opportunity to watch the river and even see a bear. was a good location to walk to anything in downtown gatlinburg. easy access to the national park. and great to catch the bypass if u dont want to sit in traffic to go to pigon forge.

the beds could have been just a little more comfortable and the price was raised due to peak season so it was kinda expensive but the only thing that was to be had in a decent location. any other time of the year will be a great place to stay.

Great location on the river. Was able to walk everywhere without climbing the mountain!

Only complaint was the showerhead needs to be updated.

Hotel is one street behind the main street of Gatlinburg. Easy to leave your car parked and walk up to the main street by the Ober Gatlinburg tram station. Check in was easy. Room was spotlessly clean and all appliances worked well. Check in clerk went out of his way to make me aware of the breakfast services they offered.

Hotel is a bit pricey during peak season but is a real value for money during off season.

We stayed in a King room bottom level with river view. Pop out on the private patio and enjoy the crashing wave sounds of the river. This place was totally peaceful and off the beaten path slightly. Two restaurants with decent food were 2 minutes away. Free breakfast every day? What’s not to like. That saves you a ton of money as do the very affordable rates. I call them dirt cheap rates. The room was clean, everything worked. Free Wi-Fi, microwave, mini fridge. The staff was amazing. It’s an older facility but a solid 4 star in my book. Don’t mind the wild animals I call them caretakers ie geese, racoons, squirrels that run by your patio gate. 😂If fishing is your thing it’s a one minute walk .

Not really a dislike but you have to walk a little further than lodging in the middle of town. We walked to the Aquarium it’s a little over a half mile. No biggie. People in Gatlinburg walk a lot. 5 minutes to the Main Street aka Parkway. There is paid parking as an option all along the main drag if you will. If you don’t mind a little exercise ignore this reference completely. They have a decent pool but it’s right on the street like many hotels .

The location, price, and size of these rooms are top notch. The room was cleaned top to bottom every morning by the staff and everything was restocked.

Rooms are slightly outdated.
