This was our second stay at The Inn on the River, and we will definitely be back. Having been going to Pigeon Forge for 25 years and staying in various places, we can say The Inn on the River makes you feel like family and as if you're at home. From the breakfast, cookies and popcorn to the rooms themselves, it was another great stay. Even though the geese outside our room loved honking 24/7, we adapted to them as they did to us. Love the location along the river and walkability to nearby shops and restaurants. Additionally, as I had to work some while there, loved being able to work in the room or inside the glass patio type room with ease. Great place!

The hotel was very clean. The room was very nice. Housekeeping came in everyday to tidy up and refresh. The breakfast was nice for a hotel breakfast. The biggest problem was the bed! It was very uncomfortable. We ended up going to another hotel. The toilet paper was also very cheap. The hotel is right off the strip so getting out of parking lot can be challenging. If not for the bed would have been a perfect review.

we were there celebrating our 40th anniversary and I sent word to them about it. when we arrived in our room, they had put a nice tray with candies wine glasses on the bed with rose petals all around. and a bottle of Cider in the fridge. the room was very clean and quiet. we enjoyed the private balcony overlooking the river. the staff was very friendly, and I even heard a couple of the maids singing while they were working. they served a great breakfast; there was popcorn in the lobby from 7-10 pm each night. we highly recommend this place. and we will try to stay here again in the future.

Comfortable place

What a nice place. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. One minor issue, the privacy card you put on your door fell every time you open the door or got stuck in the door so your door wouldn’t fully shut. Easy fix. We will definitely stay there again.
