We have stayed several times at the River Terrace. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Our room this trip could have definitely been cleaned more thoroughly. And the bathtub definitely needs replaced as it was very dated, which made it look very unclean. Outside of our room was very sticky too. Our view from the room was wonderful though and I always love the balconies. I love the walkability to everything in downtown Gatlinburg.

The property is located near the strip which was nice. Things that need improvement, the hair dryer did not work. The shower did not drain so you are standing in your bath water which is gross.
