“Bad Experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

At first glance motel looked decent, but after a closer look the room was extremely dirty. There was hair in the bathroom, carpet was stained, used rolls of toilet paper in bathroom, trim missing on room, curtains stained, and the pool was green. Bed was very noisy, could not move without it making large amounts of noise. No internet access, even though it was advertised. Office staff was not helpful when asked why internet was not working. TV remote was thrown behind the table and had no back and no batteries. Outside motel room next to the river the grass was very high and there was alot of trash, paper, cigarettes,etc. Hotel offered complimentary breakfast at 9 o'clock, but the office did not open until much later than 9. Overall bad experience had booked two nights, but after first night decided to leave.

Drink and vending pretty much empty when we got there and empty when we left. Rooms are clean but need some work. Toilet had to be jiggled to stop flowing. Part of flooring rails from carpet to tile were missing. Great area but needs work. Oh if u wish to have a early cup of coffee you gotta walk to gas statiion since office opens at 9. Pool was nice but full of motel employee family.members

“Very Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2010

person found this review helpful

I always look forward to taking my semi-disable mother to pigeon forge.We thought we wouldn't have any complaints about our hotel since we have stayed here the past 3 years,....but when I called to reserve our rooms, I was told we had bottom floor with adjoining rooms.When we arrived they put us on 2nd floor no adjoining rooms.I complained so they put us on 3rd floor with adjoining rooms.The staff didn't appologize for any trouble this may have caused us.Then the elevator stops working!!!! My mother wasn't able to walk up 3 levels of steps without gasping for breath.The rooms were fine, but the toilet didn't flush good and the shower didn't work well at all. PROBABLY WON'T STAY HERE AGAIN

“Great for price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2009

people found this review helpful

Great location. Rooms next to river have back door to river with picnic tables. Had a free room at Marriott night before and liked the river lodge beds better. located near old mill square where music is played. Price 39 and 45 for hot tub on weekend. Friendly service. Quiet off the main road. Didn't take advantage of the breakfast as it is 8am-11am.
