Gatlinburg River Inn

Gatlinburg River Inn

6/10 Okay
"The location was good and the room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and the refrigerator was good sized. The rippling river that runs just outside the terrace was very pleasant. The property needs some maintenance. Hot tub was broken, outside walkways to rooms desperately in need of new paint job and please replace the incredibly old and very chipped narrow bathtubs! Yuk! The doors to the terrace are strangely narrow, flimsy and don't fit the opening well. It would have been nice to have the abundant bird crap cleaned off the pool chairs. The breakfast was so-so. Some single serve half and half would have helped with the weak coffee but there was only French vanilla or powder creamer...2% doesn't count as coffee creamer."
