This was definately one of the best hotels tha i've been to anywhere, and especially for the price!! Great free hot breakfast with lots of choices, and cookies adn popcorn at night. The kids really loved the indoor pool and we really loved the free massage chairs. Everything was very clean and the staff was very eager to make our stay wonderful.

Thank you for the wonderful compliments. My wife who also works here helps out frequently in the breakfast area and she says many guests cannot stay enough about how much they like our breakfast buffet. Guests appreciate all of the choices and think the made to order omelets are delicious. We serve the same breakfast year around. Our massage chairs are well-liked too and can be purchased at The Three Bears General Store. The shop is located near the hotel and is well worth seeing. They have souvenirs galore and a live black bear habitat too. Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to your next visit.

“A Great Place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The Clarion is a great place to stay in pigeon forge. There are alot of choices in this area, but this one is one to consider. We got a great rate due to using AAA. We stay in February and the pool was heated. Breakfast was good. Manager made efforts to connect with us. The only compliants I could think of would be room temperature and noise. We stayed during a cold weekend. It was around 29 degrees the whole time we were there and it was hard to get the room above 66 degrees. I not sure if there are motion detectors in the room because ti seemed like when I worked with the thermostat while I was in the room I could get it up to 70, but if we left the room it would return to 66. Might have just been our room, 405.
As far as noise. You can hear whatever is going on in the hallway, so if you neighbors are in and out alot at night you're going to hear it. On night there was a crying baby that we had to hear until they got it settled. As a parent I sympathize, but as someone paying for a vacation you hope for more sound proofing than this. Most rooms also have balconies, so if your neighbors are making noise out there your going to hear that. I am really not bothered by noise. The only time this was a problem was when we were trying to sleep.

We would definately stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on a floor with the least people

Thank you for the compliments. To elimate or block out hallway noises a guest can turn the heating/air unit to "on" making the fan run continually. The next time you stay with us please do not hesitate to call the front desk about noise disturbances or heating issues. Our front desk is staffed 24 hours a day and we will be more than happy to resolve the issue. We want our guests to always be comfortable and worry-free but a guest must let us know while they are here if their stay is less than perfect so that we can make it more enjoyable for them. Thank you for choosing the Clarion Inn in Pigeon Forge.

“Best place we have stayed in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

OMG, this place is amazing! My family and I go every year to the area and always stay at different places, until now. Last Sept, we decided to stay at the Clarion in Pigeon Forge and will stay here every year! They have a big indoor pool and hot tub and you can walk out to the outdoor pool and outdoor hot tub. It has seating near the hot tub with a outdoor fire pit! The rooms were super clean and comfortable. The breakfast bar was a full buffet for free! Not a continental but a eggs and bacon and biscuits and gravy. There are 2 iPads in the lobby that my kids loved. A small game room with massage chairs! However, the best thing overall was every time we went to the lobby, we saw a Manager. He asked how our stay was and helped serve breakfast, etc. We have never ever stayed anywhere in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge where we saw Management. The hotel has a mini golf right in front and many restaurants and strip malls a walk away. Love this place and could go on and on!!!! We are so excited we don't have to search for another hotel again!

Thank you for writing such a wonderful review! The massage chairs are a favorite. We purchased them from the Three Bears General Store which is located nearby the hotel and definitely worth the visit if you haven't been there. Besides having a huge selection of souvenirs, there is also fudge, candy and a live black bear habitat that guests enjoy. The hotel is situated in Walden's Landing which features two putt-putt golf courses, four restaurants, unique retail shops, and the Forge Cinemas with 5 movie screens. We sell Super Saver movie tickets at our front desk as well as offering many money-saving coupons. Once you have planned your day stop by the front desk to see if we have a discount available. President's Day weekend is coming up and a great way to celebrate is to stay with us and tour the Titanic Museum. We can discount your Titanic tickets too.

“The Best EVER!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

I just wanted to let everyone know that if you need a place to stay in Pigeon Forge
you need to choose this hotel. I am a Front Desk Clerk for another hotel in KY and when
arrived at this hotel I was truly amazed by the welcome the cleaness of the hotel. We stayed 2 nights and I am so glad that I chose this hotel. I will be sending all my guest that need a place to stay while in that area there. I got to meet some of the most wounderful people that I could ever meet. You do not find places like this much and I am so glad that I did.
With myself being in the hotel bussiness I know what guest look for and what there needs are and I can tell you if you are in the area and need a great place to stay let me inform you this is the place you need to be. They will treat you like u are family and take the upmost care of you. So I incouge you if you need a place to stay this is the one. God Bless.

Thank you for your gracious compliments. Myself and all of the staff including my wife enjoy making our guests feel at home and welcome. I believe in hands-on management and I normally can be found in the breakfast area as well as other areas in the hotel greeting guests or pitching in. We encourage our guests to stop by the front desk anytime to take advantage of our numerous money-saving discounts or to ask for recommendations about what to do in the area. You will find the same level of customer service each time you stay here. Thank you for staying and we look forward to your next visit.
