The location of River Terrace is really good! It saves on paying for parking because it's only a block over from the Parkway. The "resort" itself is a little outdated. But....for the deal that I got, I could see past that. Now...the door that leads to the adjoining room had no way of locking to prevent the "neighbor" from coming into my room. Not sure if the neighbor's door was permanently locked or not. If the neighbor door was not permanently locked, they had very easy access to your belongings!!! I would stay at River Terrace again but possibly request a different building.

These rooms were not worth what we paid for them. One stunk so bad from the carpet and the other had mold, was dirty, and the mini fridge was warm. We also expected to be water front and were not.

Staff was friendly and polite, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I wasn’t happy with the breakfast choice, not much to choose from, best is to go eat breakfast else where. Over all, it was a good stay for only a couple of days.

River Terrace is an older property, but the room was clean and the bed was comfy. There was not enough lighting in the room. We had to ask for clean towels and coffee packets each day. It is, though, very convenient to all of downtown Gatlinburg.

Staff were awesome. Property is a bit dated, (i.e. carpet needed to be replaced, things not working) but many are in Gatlinburg. The problem for us was that the wifi was not working. This was a big deal as my wife works remotely. It looks like it is another hotel that has been bought by an investment company and is being bled. The saving grace was the staff even though they were a bit overloaded. For instance one person at check in during peak time.
