This was our first trip to Tennessee as a family. I had went every summer almost growing up & me & my husband went with my family in the summer of 92. Then my son's 5th grade class went & my husband went with him then. Before we took this vacation, me & my husband rode motorcycles down for an overnight trip with some friends. That's when we decided to take this vacation as a family. We have 2 teenagers & always have one of their friends with us & we travel with our little dog. So I had to find a "pet friendly" hotel. I came across the La Quinta. They had reasonable rates, in the middle of Pigeon Forge & looked pretty good. When we arrived, needless to say the trip started out awful! Our room wasn't ready & the person at the front desk was very rude about it after i stood their about 30 minutes waiting on someone. SO we decided to drive around until they got the room ready. I was furious! I was calling everywhere trying to find another room I was so mad. I found a couple but they didnt have a pool & the teenagers of course, that's a must! When we finally got checked into our room, they screwed that up too! I reserved a room that had 2 double beds & a pullout so that it was big enough for 5 people, but we didn't get that until our 2nd day there. The first day we were there, they split us up into 2 rooms, so my son & husband went into one with a king size bed & me and the 2 girls and the dog took the one with 2 double beds. But the next day we got moved to our right room, but we couldnt do anything or go anywhere because we didnt now when they were moving us. The pool, after all the fussing over that, the kids said was nasty so they never got to swim in it. The hotel was really clean though otherwise. We ended up having a great trip after that first couple of days, and the rest of the staff was really friendly. (this trip was in july 2010 but they make you pick a date so mines not accurate)
