Edgewater Hotel - Gatlinburg
Great place. It is a little dated, but it is clean. The staff are great and is really good for the price. The only complaint I have ever had was you can hear every conversation in the hall while trying to sleep. The sound carries or the doors are thin. Not sure, but you really need some white noise ...

The Greystone Lodge on the River
The rooms were clean, but very outdated. The bed was very hard and breakfast was definitely not great. Other than those weird packaged scrambled eggs and yogurt, no other protein.
