The staff was amazing...they allowed early check -in at no extra charge. Spacious rooms, very quiet, bed was comfortable. On Wednesday we decided to go ahead and leave due to more storms moving in, we were checking out Thursday anyway. They gave us a credit for the night even though it was late afternoon when we left. This wasn't our first time there and it won't be our last.

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.

Great location and broken staircase

Great location! Did not expect to have a unit that I had to clam stairs to sleep in a bed on the second floor. There was no way to take your luggage up a tiny spiral staircase, forcing you to shower and bathe downstairs. Also, the staircase was broken and missing a spindle, causing it to be very shaky and in a stable
