“River Terrace Resort's dual nature as a leisure and conference hub makes it appealing, particularly given its location near the Great Smoky Mountains. Balconies with river views are a genuine highlight. While some past guests cite inconsistent service, its accessibility and range of amenities remain a draw.”
