We really enjoyed our stay!
Now I wouldn’t say this is a 5 star hotel but it’s definitely a solid 4! We went in April and as expected for spring break, it was pretty packed. However, for being so busy with teens, children, and adults, it was very peaceful and quiet. We had a few slight hiccups but nothing we couldn’t work around. The first being our remote was totally MIA upon arrival but the front desk was quick to fix the issue. 2. Parking is kind of scarce in the evenings when it’s super busy especially towards the front of the building. The back corner has plenty! 3. I don’t think we actually got the room we reserved through a 3rd party. We were supposed to get a double queen room but we either got a double 2-bed room or the queens were just really small. But again, nothing we couldn’t handle. There is a pool but it was not operational upon our arrival. Breakfast is also not being served due to covid as well as no room service (which was fine for our few nights). All in all, it was very good for the price I paid. If we ever decide on another spur of the moment trip, I’ll look into booking with them again.
Don’t Even Consider It...
I had to make a quick overnight trip to Pigeon Forge to deliver some product to a couple of my clients yesterday. I have been to this venue many be the times, and as far as the convention hall goes, it is a really nice facility. No qualms there... OK? However, when I called the office the night before to get a ‘double room’, they referred me to their website. I jumped thru all the online hoops to get a reservation - and had to pay up front for the room. That’s OK. I get the thought process there, these days. But I never got a confirmation number. That troubled me... Upon arrival yesterday at their office, I noticed that they had a make-shift ‘barrier’ in place, and that you no longer went in the lobby to check in. Kinda weird, at this point, I thought, but I get it. COVID-19 is still a pretty big deal. There was a strange sign on the door with a LONG list of cities in the East TN area, that if you were from there, you couldn’t check into the Facility. Even places 100+ miles away, like Kingsport, TN.... Now, that one DID strike me as really ‘out there’... Anyway, there were 2 ladies standing in line. One was on her phone, and was letting ‘someone’ have it... she obviously was not happy with her accommodations. She was expelling a pretty good little cloud of expletives. I was glad The Lady Foster wasnt with me, and that MamaJoan couldn’t hear, but I digress. The other lady eventually just left, and muttered something about she’d just sleep in her car... The first lady walked a little further away, so I gingerly approached the ‘window’. No one was there. I waited about 10 minutes, and finally some lady walked up and said ‘What do you want?’ I gave her my name, and explained that I had called their office - and went to their website to book a room. Before I could go any further she started in saying that I had NOT called them- that I had used a ‘3rd Party’ site who hadn’t yet paid them- and that she couldn’t help me. When she didn’t seem willing to ‘check me in’, or even help me determine if I had lost my money, or whatever, this man walked up behind her and basically told me that I was causing trouble and to leave. I did leave, but not before getting a confirmation that my card had, indeed, been refunded. I went back down the Parkway to the EconoLodge (Riverside) and upon entering was actually called by my name (I was astonished!). When I asked for a room that fit my needs (a Queen Double - My Mom was accompanying me), they not only gave me a fair price, they extended a 10% discount, plus upgraded me to a suite overlooking the Pigeon River. Talk about First Class!! Now, let me be clear. The Event Planner/Promoter had NOTHING to do with the poor service I received at the first establishment - so PLEASE don’t think that. But, I highly suggest that one would consider staying elsewhere if you are coming to my favorite vacation spot on earth - Pigeon Forge and the beautiful Smoky Mountains!!! I highly recommend EconoLodge- Riverside!! #FeedTheDucks
Worst place to stay!
I have never posted a review about any place that I have stayed before. However, I had to let other people know how bad this place is. Bed bugs in Room 214 and have been dealing with the bites since leaving. Unsanitary! Garbage and trash all over the place. Very upsetting and didn't feel safe while there. The front desk staff were very nice, but can't make up for the conditions of the place.
Loved!!
We stayed in a room with two queen beds with a fireplace and jacuzzi. The room was HUGE! Very clean and great location at the end of the parkway. Check in was quick and easy and because of a possible winter storm we decided it best to leave a day early and when I checked out the woman was very kind and refunded the day without me even asking. Would definitely recommend this hotel!
Not Again
We stayed here because it was a very busy season, and it was what we could find available. Check in is through a small window - no access to lobby. Unfortunately, the desk clerk barely spoke, never smiled, never even made eye contact. It looks good enough from outside - once in a room, the stink of stale cigarettes immediately hits. The bathroom looks clean - until you realize there's dust and dirt around the baseboard. No housekeeping the first morning. We exchanged towels at the window - the clerk this time was clearly irritated that she had to leave her chair and retrieve fresh towels, tissue and trash bags. Towels, btw, were rough and scratchy. I'm giving them a 2 because at least the beds and pillows were comfortable and the heat worked very well.
