This place is just ok. I booked because the pool looked real nice. It was just ok. Too many kids and the pool was dirty. I will say the air stream with drink service was a nice touch. They had an Elvis impersonator and that was good. Probably wouldn’t go back.

The hotel is right in the middle of Pigeon Forge so convenient if you want to walk over to the island. There was a nice bar area and the pool was decent. The hotel room wasn’t anything special. It was quite small for 5 of us and wasn’t very clean (dirty floor and bathroom) It’s essentially a motel, as all the hotels are in that area. Housekeeping came daily which was good, although they’d only make up 2 out of the 3 beds which was strange. A minor issue though!
