Love the retro look! Plenty of space in the room with a couch, chair and wall bench! Spacious bathroom! Mini fridge. Love the pool area, cabana, igloos. Convenient location and walking distance to the island and entertainment. Love how they offer free breakfast and 2 drink vouchers for the bar!

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

Room was clean, great amenities and check in was fast. The beds are quite firm, which some prefer but not our favorite. Would also love to see larger pillows rather than the smaller style many hotels are switching to more recently.

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!
