Rivers Edge Motel

Not a desirable location, everything around was vacant, people sleeping in tents around the hotel. As you can see in the pictures I have attached. Would not refund my money. I book at The Stonebrook Lodge where it was a much nicer location. I do not recommend

Such a great place to stay. On the river balcony was so relaxing and enjoyable. One thing I missed was not having a microwave in the room. For the money I paid per night a microwave should have been there. There is a microwave in the lobby during day hours. Not the same. But I'd sure stay there again. Rocking chairs on the balcony and we were set!

This was, I believe, my 5th stay at River's Edge, and it definitely won't be my last. It is the cleanest place I've ever stayed in, hands down. The location overlooking the river can't be beat, either. We love to spend time out on the balcony watching the ducks and geese, and on the last two trips we've seen an otter. Even though it's on one of the main roads through town, it's very quiet here, too. We've never had problems with either road noise nor noisy neighbors. It's within walking distance to several places to eat, and to a convenience store, which is great. Yes, there are some vacant buildings around it, but I have never felt unsafe on any of my stays here. If you are looking for a clean, quiet place to stay with a beautiful view, book with River's Edge, and you won't be disappointed.

I loved this motel located in Cherokee. It is close to the Smoky Mountains and not far to Bryson City. We had a group of 10 and booked various rooms downstairs. I called and spoke with Patti several times asking questions and making changes. She was great to work with. Parking is at the edge of the road, but also at your doorway. I only heard traffic if a load motorcycle or vehicle went by. We used a sound spa that blocked out most noise. I only heard someone in the room above us one night and it wasn’t bad. The rooms have all been renovated and were very clean. The shower was hot with good water pressure. We had a nice balcony overlooking the river. The ice and microwave are located in the office. The office is open from 9am-9pm. My rating is 4.5 as I would like to use a microwave at 4-5am before I head out to hike.

Very clean and such a peaceful place To sit on balcony above the water and relax. The lady in the office was extremely nice, totally happy with our stay. We went and saw the elk at welcome center until dark and also very early the next morning. Of course you have to eat at Peter’s Pancakes, my favorite breakfast. We will return.

Pleasantly surprised with the updated and very clean room given the affordability. Beds comfortable and plenty of channels on the TV. Private large balcony - room 202 - directly over the water with rocking chairs to enjoy the sounds of the flowing creek. Young lady checking us in was very accommodating and hospitable and readily offered to let us see a room before booking. Close to several restaurants and shops.
