I loved this hotel, to the point its now my go to for Pigeon Forge! Everyone was friendly, and although I cant confirm it, when I said I was waiting on a DoorDash order, I felt as though I was being kept an eye on (in a good way). There was a pretty severe storm that went through, and I slept through it despite being on the top floor! That NEVER happens. The only thing I didnt get to enjoy was my own fault. I didnt get to make use of the breakfast vouchers because I'm a night owl, and slept through breakfast hours! Can't wait to come back!
As soon as I took this I double checked my reservation because I wasnt expecting a room like this.
This was a treat to find!
A walk in shower that's not the size of a phone booth??? And it had actual water pressure?!?

The place is really cute and everyone is very nice! It’s comfy and cozy. Right across the road from the island. This was a quick walk to shops and dinner. The food and drinks were fantastic. I know this was an older hotel at one time- stayed here when I was young. They have done a lot of update. The road is pretty loud, as one would know, beside the parkway. The racetrack is right next door so that’s pretty loud as well. I will say that the bathroom looked like it had not been mopped in a good little bit- there were quite a few dirty spots on the floor. Overall- we will stay again, might just bring a swiffer for the floor to feel more comfortable. I would have expected better cleaning with this being a Marriott hotel

I booked two rooms. The shower of one room was not cleaned well. There was a lot of hard water residue on the floor of the shower. The next day the exterior door would not lock. The hotel was accommodating and moved both rooms to be side by side. The breakfast was absolutely delicious!

Stayed here last night and loved it!!! They actually had the holy trinity of pet friendly, a WORKING hot tub, and great reviews. Booked this place so fast and hoped for the best. We arrived late around 9pm and all of us got into the large and steamy hot tub and relaxed. Then we swam in the heated pool. Towels were still available and there was an indoor bar open til midnight where we had martinis. A very enjoyable 3 hours was had after our late and exhausted arrival! Staff was super friendly, we loved everyone!!! Bar was great, restaurant was delicious, coffee was great, the rooms were so cool and well decorated and spacious. We had a keurig, a fridge (no freezer), really wonderful toiletries and a blow dryer. There were elevators but also ramps if you didn’t want to wait. The hotel has exterior entrances and can be a little noisy in the morning as guests walk by but we couldn’t hear cars or anything like that on the road. My only grumbles are that the shampoo and body wash were empty, the beds and bedding aren’t as nice as I’d like and the floors were pretty dirty. Could’ve used a more thorough refilling and mopping before we got in there but it wasn’t a big deal. The pet fee was a whopping $150 (!!!!!) but they cut it in half due to our short one-night stay. Our corgi was well behaved and enjoyed this hotel too :) We have stayed in this area multiple times and this is the first hotel we would book again and stay at again. Top notch service and rooms!

The motel is very cute and the retro theme is fun! The rooms were clean and the staff were very friendly! There are MANY things nearby and they are easy to get to. Unfortunately, the wait for breakfast was too long and we only get breakfast for 2, but we are a family of 4, so it was not worth the wait to only feed half of our family. This is a cute place to stay!

We stayed for one night. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, our room was on the side near the dumpster. We were woken up at 4 AM by the trash trucks banging down the trash cans. For our family of five we did receive two breakfast coupons for a free breakfast. However, some items were out such as orange juice and sausage when I ordered, and the wait for food was longer than typical.
