MICHAEL, 2-night trip

Great for the glutes.

We stay with River Terrace regularly. Very friendly front desk who always tries to get you in early. No parking fees. This was our first time staying in building 5 and the hill is too much. The hill just never seems to end. I’ll make sure and request a room near the office in the future.

8/10 Very good

Very convenient place to stay when you want to be in downtown Gatlinburg. Rooms are outdated but very comfortable. Take note the free breakfast is a grab n go pastry and Keurig coffee pod. I waited an hour to get a hair dryer from the maintenance guy since they didn’t carry them at the front desk. The pool was great too, they do have pool towels at the pool. We will go back!

Randall, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay very much and so did our pup . Very clean and beds were comfortable, great location close to everything. Only bad thing I would say is parking is tight and hard to fit larger vehicles.

River terrace adequate accomodations

The accommodations were adequate. Beds were very comfortable. Room was large and roomy. A full length mirror would be helpful when getting ready to go out to heck you outfit. The complimentary breakfast was really pretty much nonexistent—only coffee, and some packaged food

We will see you again

This was our first stay with the River Terrace. First off, the front desk staff was amazing and accommodating. We got to the hotel early and was allowed to check in. We stayed in Building 7 and fell in love with not only the location and view, but the decor of our room. We will definitely stay here again .

Jose, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good stay for the price.

The rooms were very clean, and comfortable. Staff was super friendly. My only complaint is that the walls between the rooms seemed pretty thin, but it may have been an issue with the doors between adjoining rooms. At one point the person in the next room was having a conversation at a normal volume level and i could hear well enough to understand every single word.

Good value great location

Nice central location, close walk to shops and attractions. Great value for the price.

8/10 Very good

Great views/access to downtown Gatlinburg

The room was not ready for my arrival. However, that was fine. I sat in the lobby and waitied for it to be done. Once inside the room, you could tell that it needed a complete renovation. Very dated with carpet, the bathroom fixtures, and sink. But that was comfortable and had ample pillows and blankets. The view was great overlooking the little pigeon creek/river And it had great access to downtown Gatlinburg, which made everything OK. For the price it was totally worth it.

Jeff, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.

6/10 Good

The room was clean, the mattress was AMAZING, but the AC wasn't cold enough. The location was close to perfect if you just want to park and walk to all the resturants and attractions!!! One pool was closed, but the open pool was extremely clean and peaceful.
