Amazing hotel in Pigeon Forge

This hotel is a mid century modern lovers dream stay! Room was very comfortable and every detail of the design was well thought out. The refrigerator was even vintage looking (but did seem a little small compared to other hotels I’ve stayed in). Lobby snd lounge were absolutely gorgeous and the pool area was lovely and comfortable. Breakfast was priced similar to restaurants in the area and was delicious. The only downfall I can think of is that there wasn’t a microwave in the room. I was amazed at the price—-it was such a great deal for everything the hotel had to offer! Would definitely stay there again!!

Nice for 1 day only

Nice hotel and staff but room was not cleaned properly. There was dirt and hair on the floor upon arrival. I also had to get extra roll of toliet paper and towels from front desk as the room only had 2 although reservation was for 4 people.

When we pulled in, we weren’t sure what to expect. The outside looked very 70 Ish, but in a clean modern way. The inside lobby was very comfortable, beautiful and welcoming. The rooms were very cozy very clean and decorated so cute.
