Property is misleading. The “newly renovated” rooms haven’t been renovated in at least a decade. Ceiling tiles were falling apart, very lumpy mattress, floors were dirty, paint was peeling from the cabinets, cabinets were falling off their hinges and counter was dirty. Also, the entrance to the room was from the garage (which was very creepy). They have zero amenities, zero food on property. Their restaurant was closed the entire time. Their cleaning staff came into the room a couple hours before checkout and didn’t even announce themselves which scared my 5 year old daughter. Overall, the worst “hotel” I’ve stayed in in a very long time.

the property falsely advertised restaurants and service onsite with water views. The restaurant seemed permanently closed and no other amenities available. This is not a "Resort nor a Convention" center. At best it is a clean "Motel 8". Rooms are old, mold and stains on the ceilings in the rooms and the ceilings are the foam squares, stains on the floors. The price we paid was over $250 a night August 2022, way over priced for this place. Will not stay again or recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at River Terrace this weekend. There for a Volleyball Tournament at Rocky Top. The Hotel was a convenient walk to all the attractions. Main complaint was the heater was either too hot or if you turned if off it was cold. Needs to have a better control on the thermostat.

Super comfortable beds and kind staff. Bathrooms are dated and no toiletries provided. Disappointed that it wasn’t clear that on site restaurant was closed since it was a primary reason for booking. But great location and comfortable if you just need somewhere affordable to sleep.

Staff was great the room was awesome. The only drawback was the on property restaurant was closed for refurbishment. Still not a huge deal breaker as there were plenty of walkable restaurants and coffee shops near by.
