A employee name Ron McCarter cussed my wife with bad word and Courtney the gm did nothing but write him u. And everything is on video in lobby. Yes hotel com knows everything. I have been staying at this hotel for over 15 years and never been treated this way. Ron McCarter got up in my face because my baby granddaughter put a little flag in the flower and Laura at the office said it was ok. Ron McCarter was giving my wife look that was not very nice so my wife said if u have something to say tell me or stop staring at u and that is when I called office and they said it was ok for little flag. And about 15 min later is when Ron McCarter told my wife she was a bad word and a liar video in office because he came to off after my wife said Ron she was a lier and put his finger in my face tell me that my wife was a lier and Courtney the GM and Laura seen everything. Courtney did nothing and Laura made him leave but he was going to come back in and Laura moved head for him to not come back in. There is one person that is awesome that works at this place and his name is Randy he is amazing. But he was not here when all of this happened. I think that Randy needs Courtney job because Ron got nothing basic but a pat on the back for cussing my wife and putting fingers in my face and getting up in my wife face and calling her a bad word had to stay because our room was non refundable so two days later Courtney got a little smart with wife about Ron McCarter still working there .

Relaxing and Enjoyable

We were heading in for a Women’s Conference in Gatlinburg and decided to come a day early to enjoy some time in Pigeon Forge. We absolutely love staying at the Econo Lodge because they have the indoor pool/hot tub, a filling breakfast & the beds are comfortable. The property & rooms are clean & we absolutely loved spending time out back next to the creek. Such a peaceful place right in the hear of Pigeon Forge.
