Verified Reviews of Gatlinburg River Inn

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:

"Comfortable sleeping area, too tiny a bathroom."

Overall Score3.0/ 5

The bathroom was very small. As a result, there is not enough space to have safety hand bars, which I need. The shower door opens up into the towel rack which makes accessing the shower difficult. The shower itself was so small that I had to climb over the shower chair to get inside. Once inside and seated the shower was doable but, getting inside could be dangerous. The bathroom doorway was too narrow to accommodate my walker (I ended up leaving it outside the door when I needed to use the bathroom) Also, the balcony door was too narrow to accommodate my walker, so I left it in the room when I went outside to enjoy the sounds of the river flowing by. The staff were wonderful! And very accommodating. We enjoyed the river flowing outside our balcony.
