Overall outdated inside room. Bathroom had a soft wet spot in wall not close to shower. The lighting in bathroom and kitchen were really bad and outdated the space. Pillows had a strong chemical smell. Ants were along the floor entering the front door. Toilet sits very low. Shower pressure was also very low. Lucky we were just using for a place to sleep and not enjoy. Balcony was good. The back patio had three fire tables and none of them worked, were out of propane. Was going to sit in the morning with our coffee but was disappointed. We have stayed here before several years back and was in an updated room. Paid more for a better view this time and was an older unit. Staff was nice. Vending machine in main lobby only had one choice of chips as well.

Location is great to experience a lot within walking distance, checking in was easy, and our room was really spacious for a double queen room, but the maintenance is slacking. The refrigerator had been unplugged at some point and had mold growing in it, the toilet clogged and we ended up having to buy a plunger because no one ever came, even though they were informed multiple times. Kids were disappointed that only one of the two pools that are advertised was open, but they still enjoyed the one they could. Overall it was ok and I enjoyed our stay

The location of River Terrace is really good! It saves on paying for parking because it's only a block over from the Parkway. The "resort" itself is a little outdated. But....for the deal that I got, I could see past that. Now...the door that leads to the adjoining room had no way of locking to prevent the "neighbor" from coming into my room. Not sure if the neighbor's door was permanently locked or not. If the neighbor door was not permanently locked, they had very easy access to your belongings!!! I would stay at River Terrace again but possibly request a different building.
