Staff went out of their way to make my parents room available before check in as my father was not well and we had just drive 17 hours. So kind and considerate and understanding. Great location for people and bear watching. Would stay again!! Hopefully that restaurant will open as that would be such a convenient spot

The hotel room was pretty old and run down. It was dirty and you can hear everything from the next room. Our room and my friend’s room didn’t have a blow dryer so we asked the front desk and they only had 1 extra that we had to share. The free breakfast was okay. There was coffee, tea, oatmeal, and an assortments of pastries. The 1 great thing is everything was pretty much in walking distance. We were right in the middle of downtown Gatlinburg.

disappointed the on property restaurant is permanently closed. There was traces of mold on the curtain above the AC unit. And the room had a musky smell. Navigating the ramps instead of steps was difficult. Property location was perfect. Easy walking access to everything on the Parkway

Sure it’s great if you have a timeshare!

The first room I was put in was not good. The key would barely open the door—it registered but would work. Inside lock was broken, tv broken. The maintenance man insisted they move me to a different room. Neither room had shower curtains so the water leaked clear out of the bathroom when I showered. Didn’t ask where or when the continental breakfast was, and there was no information at all in the room, so I missed it. Rooms were old although clean. Only one maintenance guy from a different location that is the only one for a full week with 7 buildings. They ought to worry as much about their hotels as they do their timeshares, which is all I heard about. Will not stay with them again

Property was convenient to downtown attractions. However, we were on the top floor in one of the buildings and it was like the air conditioner was not working. We had to lower the air down to 63 and still wasn't quite cool. Their was no toilet paper or kleenex when we got to the room. We got toilet paper but not kleenex.

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.
