I would not recommend this hotel. The room was small and the clerk gave me that key to the dirty room. She said, if it was dirty it would be clean in an hour or two. The breakfast room was hard to reach was dingy and did not open for service until eight am. The breakfast did not even have teabags for patrons.

<BR/>

Positives: The lady that served the breakfast was nice.

Negatives: Old and dirty bad room conditions.

Very clean and comfortable. Convenient and access to everything was great. Will stay there again. This was the second year we have stayed there on spring break.

Positives: Good price and clean. The cleaning staff was kind and on night placed her comforter on her bed in place of theirs.

Very clean, super friendly and helpful staff. I read some reviews about lack of cleanliness and I can say that was far from what we experienced. Big comfortable beds, great WiFi connection, big room with a balcony, little fridge great for storing a Coke or two and a parking area around back away from thieving eyes, and priced right! Close to pretty much everything. Wonder hotel, wonderful weekend getaway place!

Positives: Super clean, great staff, will be our go-to hotel in Pigeon Forge.

Negatives: Really nothing, great hotel.

I would stay at this hotel again. I would only book through Priceline because we decided to go up a day early and we were charged a much higher rate for the one night than through Priceline.

Positives: It was convenient to everything, trolley stop directly in front of hotel. Nice for 2 star hotel.

Negatives: Towels and wash clothes very rough. Room was on 1st floor directly behind metal steps from 2nd floor, noisy!

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 11 Nov 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Staff was very friendly. Motel could use some updates and cleaner fresher smelling rooms (bring your Febreze.) Rooms were cleaned daily, but 2nd day they did not give us fresh towels.

Positives: Location &amp; staff.

Negatives: Run down, spider webs everywhere in room. Unpleasant smell to room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 25 Oct 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

Very clean with nice staff, and it has mini-fridge and microwave. Everything else is minimal. No sugar or cream, for instance, with the coffee, and no clue given about the TV. Would stay here again but would not give it 2 star ratings.

Positives: Clean.

Negatives: Very spare.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 22 Oct 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

Over priced. Not a two star motel in my book. Stay at two new hotels up the street for less money. Tight parking area.

Positives: Thankful that I only paid for one night!

Negatives: Needed updating, bed sagged in middle, charged for cup of ice.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Oct 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

I will not recommend any of my friends to live there.

Positives: It is close to the smoky mountain and other business centers.

Negatives: Everything in the hotel room is very uncomfortable.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 09 Sep 2010 rated 8 out of 10.

The location was good and was clean. The only thing we didn't like was the morning nourishment that was served. The breads, bagel and donuts was not fresh, hard..ran out of the gravy, the cereals was old...we tried it the first day and the second day we thought we check it out again, but they ran out of some of the foods....so we just gave us and went out for breakfast rest of the time.

Positives: Staff was pleasant.

Negatives: The continential breakfast not good.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 16 Aug 2010 rated 2 out of 10.

The hotel is old and in need of updating (their website says it has been updated). I felt it was dingy and smelled bad. Bathroom had mold around the baseboard and wallpaper was coming off. We killed a bug in the room. The &quot;deluxe continental breakfast&quot; is frozen bagels; muffins &amp; donuts; biscuit w/gravy; cereal. I could not eat there - it was all carbohydrates - NO protein.

Positives: The size of the room accommodated our family.

Negatives: They gave us a smoking room - said nothing else was available. It smelled bad; dingy.

The staff was very friendly and helpful except for the lady who took care of the breakfast room. She didn't do a very good job at keeping it stocked and when asked if she was going to bring more food she said NO, and then said &quot;I was kidding when I am smiling I am kidding and I am smiling.&quot; The pool water was a little cloudy and the sides of the pool had some type of skim on it. We did have a refrigerator and microwave in the room and a small coffee pot. The room was clean and neat and in good repair. The tub drained slowly. All in all it was a fairly decent place to stay. Lots of families were there and it was very quiet.

Positives: Most of the staff was very friendly.

Negatives: The person taking care of the breakfast room was strange and didn't keep it stocked well.

Negatives: Lots of noise from traffic, television got static a few times.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 27 Apr 2010 rated 3 out of 10.

We were extremely disappointed in the first room that was given to us. When taking a shower, the water raised up to our ankles and drain would not work. Room smelled and was very unappealing. Second room had the same drain problem. The third room offered was better and the drain in the tub worked and things were in a little better shape. Certainly not a 2 star motel, though.

Positives: Desk clerk was friendly.

Negatives: Condition of rooms.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 06 Apr 2010 rated 6 out of 10.

Most of the rooms were newly renovated, ours was not. The hotel pool heater was not working, so we were not able to swim. The staff was very helpful, though. The continental breakfast was not the best.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Pool heater was not working.

Very clean hotel and very friendly staff. Rooms are very comfortable. Loved the colors, they made it very relaxing. Nice LCD TV's with HD!

Positives: Very clean rooms, very comfortable beds.

Negatives: Was given a handicap cap room, room had no tub.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 01 Apr 2010 rated 1 out of 10.

I would not reccomend this place.First its a Motel that means that the door to the room opens to the parking lot.Secondly their customer service was nonexistant.I'm a single mother with my kids to see their grandparents and there is no night service for housekeeping so after my youngest threw up in the bathroom I couldnt get any more room towels or help cleaning up.I will never pay to stay there again and I would advise everyone else to do the same.

Positives: The Hotel was a Motel with a fridge.

Negatives: Front Desk had NO customer service skills

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 05 Dec 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

Pretty nice hotel for the price.

Positives: The location was great, and it was easy to access all of Pigeon Forge.

Negatives: The vie whole was stuffed with paper, and you could not see out door. Also, the toilet paper roll holder was from 1970 I think.

Other than the breakfast the hotel was great.

Positives: Very convenient to all attractions and restaurants.

Negatives: The breakfast was not up to standard and was out of items almost every day.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Oct 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

I am not a really picky person so this hotel met my needs. The room we had was at least average on the cleanliness scale. The bed was somewhat hard so we ended up buying a foam pad from Wal-mart since we stayed 4 nights. The free continental breakfast could have been better. Needed more fruit and other options.

Positives: Good price and provided a good place to spend the night in a clean room.

Negatives: The continental breakfast was lacking, bed was hard.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 25 Oct 2009 rated 4 out of 10.

Cheap place to stay.

Positives: Maintenance man was friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Back parking area was dark.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 22 Oct 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

The hotel was alright it was your price that was a rip off.

Positives: Close to where we wanted to spend time.

Negatives: Breakfast facility was in a back room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 09 Oct 2009 rated 3 out of 10.

My first clue was the smell of the room. Sure the room looked okay, I didn't expect fancy but do expect clean. If I could have gotten a refund I would have found another hotel. The coffee maker did not have a decanter so when I asked for one they brought one that did not fit so it was useless. They came to clean the room the next day while we were out but I could not smell disinfectant or cleaner of any kind. We booked three nights but the bed was so hard that we left after only two nights. The sheets were so thin you could see through them. And every time you would go to get a towel the towel bar would fall in the floor. The continental breakfast was awful.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Bed, coffee pot , smell of room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 30 Sep 2009 rated 5 out of 10.

Ifeel it was an economy hotel for a clean bed to sleep only.

Positives: Location

Negatives: musty smelling

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 26 Sep 2009 rated 6 out of 10.

Don't let the outside appearance fool you, nice on the inside.

Positives: Fireplace.

Negatives: Outside appearance.
