Terrace Motel, Gatlinburg

Not much since the previous two have left and all but ruined this hotel the new owners have but care back in this hotel. The previous owner are said to have removed almost every fixture and even disabling some things that make the hotel run. Good riddance to these losers and hope they never return, watch them make negative reviews now and they will ALL be lies like all of their positive reviews before. Stay here and enjoy it now as the New owners are real hotel owners and won't push their agenda on anyone.

Stayed at the Terrace just this past week and realy enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and helped us find things to do and places to eat. Most of Gatlingburg within walking distance with very nice restaurants within 1/2 block. Rooms were cleaned and beds made daily with clean towels and sheets. Beds and pillows were very comfortable and the room was roomy. Much better that the big chains with their broken down beds and furniture and very little maid service. Will recommend it and stay here again.

Me and my husband stayed at Terrace on The Waters is absolutely wonderful. We loved how big the rooms were and clean they were. Even the cleaning lady was very helpful making sure we had everything we needed. The scene off my balcony was excllent we could hear the sounds of the creek below; it was so peaceful. What I really thought was neat was Daisy the duck in diapers in the lobby. We had a restful weekend. Home away from home. Thanks for making my weekend so enjoyable. Manchester. TN

My best friend and I recently stayed 3 days and 2 nights and Terrace on the Water and we both loved it! The first thing I noticed about the Terrace is the friendly owners who made me feel comfortable from the moment I checked in. There was always a friendly wave when we'd exit or enter the property. I'd like to thank them for such an enjoyable and stress-free stay. I have been to Gatlinburg several times during my childhood and have stayed at most of the hotels on the parkway and the Terrace surpasses them all without question. Upon entering the room we found the a/c already turned on, which was a relief, considering the hot and humid temps. The room smelled fresh and clean and I was surprised by how spacious it appeared. There were 2 queen sized beds and they were both covered in a nice country-style quilt that made the room seem more home-like than the standard (and ugly) floral motel comforters. All of the bedding and towels were very clean. There was a table and 2 chairs and a full-length mirror which was very useful and unexpected One of the best parts of the room was the balcony with the view of the creek which was included at no extra charge, a great deal. The mini fridge was a good size and were able to fill it with several drinks and snacks and it kept them nice and chilled. There was also a small coffee maker, however, we did not use that as neither of us drinks coffee. There was a trash can and coke machine located right outside our door which was very convenient. The bathroom was small but clean and the sink and vanity are actually separate from the bathroom which was kind of nice since there were 2 of us getting ready. The room was very quiet at night, especially with the a/c on. We were never bothered by the noise of traffic and/or other guests. The ice machine located by the office was always filled with ice and it looked very clean. There was also a handy display of maps and brochures that we took advantage of. The hotel is in a great location and its easy to walk to everything on the strip so there is no need to bring the car. The pool was an adequate size for the number of rooms and it was never crowded but the water is really, really cold! I do believe that the Terrace is a Gatlinburg gem, its a wonderful place to relax and just enjoy your vacation.

My wife and I are from Indiana and love coming down to experience the charm on Gatlinburg as often as we can. We really enjoyed our stay at Terrace On The Water. It is a clean, comfortable, and relaxing place to stay that is right on the main street of Gatlinburg and within walking distance to everything. The owners put in a lot of work beautifing this motel and genuinely care about the people who stay here. If you want a clean room, right on the main drag for a reasonable price, look no farther. I recommend Terrace On The Water.

My wife and I have just returned from a week at Terrace on the Water in Gatlinburg, TN. We also stayed there for two weeks in May 2008. This is the cleanest, friendliest and most pleasant experience we have had the privilege to enjoy. Over our thirty years together, we have made a week's visit to Daytona Beach, FL, New Smyrna Beach, FL, Virginia Beach, VA, Hilton Head Beach, SC, and the Weston in Cincinnati, OH, but we have never enjoyed such hospitality as Terrace on the Water provided us in May and July of this year. I have been visiting Gatlinburg, TN since 1959, including several visits per year during the Sixties, Seventies, Eighties, and Nineties and the fine owners at the Terrace go out of their way to make sure you are surrounded by cleanliness and comfort. The balconies over the Roaring Fork River provide an extra serenity that lets visitors know they have reached a tranquil vacation spot. We honeymooned in Gatlinburg in 1983 and never had the wonderful time we experienced at the Terrace. Anyone who wants to enjoy great hospitality and beauty should make it a point to stay at Terrace on the Water in Gatlinburg, TN.

Me and my DH had a great time at the Terrace. The room was very large and clean & the water was so wonderful. We stayed for a week and wished we could have stayed longer. I felt very safe and like family. We will be back if the gas prices go down. I love the duck in the office! I wish the shower head was higher though, lol. Thanks for a great week.

I didn't like anything about this place. Believe the bad reviews. Beds weren't comfortable at all and the staff was left than cordial. We will find a different place to stay on our next visit.

One of the worst experiences that we have ever had. Hotel staff is rude and obtuse and he will come in your room w/out being invited. Staff will be rude to you do if that is okay stay here is not go some where other than here. Not very clean hotel but it is in a good location so I would say choose somewhere else or get yelled at for nothing.

Love the cabins rustic and yet modern.Just close enough to townm to walk.Yet away from congestion and traffic.Also the creek running behind is peacful and romantic to here.Stayed there many times over the years. Cant wait to get back.
