Reviews
The hotel is generally praised for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenient location. The breakfast is a mixed bag, with some guests enjoying it and others finding it lacking. The rooms are described as comfortable and quiet, but some guests note that they could use modernization.

the room was clean check in staff were nice breakfast was good. Paid extra for a room that overlooks the river and was disappointed in the view. I am spoiled to seeing water rush over the rocks and ducks enjoying. We did not have that at this motel.

Clean, good and well stocked breakfast We’ve stayed frequently over the years, but it seemed not as nice this time…smells in the room that clogged my sinuses , TV wouldn’t go on, no OJ for breakfast (only sugar water juices.

Ot was quite and very clean and it was around every thing we want to do
- 4/5
Didn't eat it it was mostly donuts The beds being so hard, I have arthritis in my back and with the beds being so hard when I would lay down maybe 10-15 minutes then get up I was stiff and sore. Up side in bathroom they had a grab bar by toilet and some grab bars in bath tub/shower. Out room on 1st floor which was good for us.
- 5/5
Clean and smell clean not like others.
- 1/5
The breakfast staff was on their phone the entire morning, the room was never cleaned-evidenced by the remaining belongings of the previous guests, who left a hair scrunchy, hair in the bathroom and a razor cover on the sink. The bed was so hard I will be in pain for a few days following my visit. I will not return or recommend this hotel because the two most important factors-cleanliness and comfort, are not at all present!

Proximity to our planned activities in Pigeon Forge, cleanliness, staff was friendly Our AC had a hard time keeping up. We ended up buying a fan to help keep us cool
- 2/5
The room we stayed in had a strong musty smell. We stayed in a king size bed room with jacuzzi. The musty smell was around the jacuzzi where people step out onto the carpet with their wet feet. The jacuzzi water did not get very warm. It stayed at less than luke warm temperature. The bathroom had a similar smell but seemed to be coming from the shower curtain. Nothing appears "dirty" it just had the smell. The bed was decent. I slept okay but my husband did not find it comfortable.
- 5/5
Room is clean and is described accurately. We got the parking lot view. Better if you can get the creek view. Lobby area is very nice. There's no ice machine on the floors. Breakfast has a variety of foods and beverages.

The room was very clean. But I don’t think they should be advertising rooms with a river view and making that a bonus factor. That river is gross. But other than that great stay!

I would possibly stay here again, but my preference would be a newer hotel. It doesn’t have a gym, arcade, any amenities and it’s older. But I understand why it has high reviews if that makes sense.
- 5/5
The standard room I got was on the small side, but very clean. Yes, limited space, but I was there to sleep not hang out. The lady who checked me in was very nice, but my son had a different person entirely and she was not so great. Everyone and everything else was very pleasant. I would stay there again.
- 5/5
Room was comfortable, clean with nice toiletries. Breakfast was good but basic with only a few choices and variety was limited. But ok if you want a quick start to your day.

- 3/5
Only complaint I have is the beds. I've been camping and slept on the ground that was softer than the beds. I prefer a firmer mattress but I think sleeping on a rock would of been more comfortable. Over all for the price its a decent hotel. Clean place. Yes it does have some things that could be upgraded but its an older hotel.
- 3/5
The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. The breakfast was pitiful. Coffee was terrible. Staff at check-in was not very friendly.

- 2/5
Building was unsecure to random passerby; elevator to all floors of the inn is free to be used by anyone. Breakfast was not worth waking up for; normal for a free hotel breakfast. Complimentary items were cheap...the tissues are similar to sandpaper. Parking was interesting but not difficult. Definitely NOT the worst place I've stayed but will never stay here again.
- 4/5
Me and my partner stayed 2 nights... the room was ok, outdated and air conditioning worked ok... the HOT breakfast was mildly warm powdered gravy in a crockpot and biscuits with eggs and bacon... lots of other items like, bagels and toast, oatmeal etc... was not a horrible stay for the price...
- 3/5
We are on our 70’s. We were looking forward to setting by the fireplace in our room and enjoying the ambiance. The fireplace didn’t work. I reported it and was told “No it doesn’t work. I’ll see what I can do about it “. Nothing was fixed nor was I credited for not having a working fireplace.

The place was very clean and well maintained, especially for a budget priced hotel. The breakfast was disapointingly typical of budget hotels. The eggs, sausage and gravy were almost inedible. The location is wonderful with a park like setting along the river. And covered parking in the basement.

The mattress was so worn out you could feel the springs and the mantle, over the fireplace, was filled with dust.
- 4/5
Pros: cost and location, staff friendly and housekeeping was great. Water pressure in shower/tib was great. They have laundry vending machines if u need to wash/dry. Cons: my extra door swing safety lock did not work. As a woman alone traveling that is not good. Maintenance should check things regularly to ensure safety. The balcony rooms produce a lot of light at night because the balcony lights stay on. Curtains can only do so much. I wear a sleep mask so it was not an issue but could be for some. Also some of the balcony rooms like mine were close to the main road so it was a little louder. Balcony chairs were so uncomfortable. Beds were not comfortable. Too hard. I never used the pillows used my own. Breakfast never looked exciting so I can’t comment on the taste. I did get mini bagels and cream cheese and apple juice which were good.

The room looked kinda clean, I wish I had a UV light to check, showers pressure was so hard it could take your skin off, I like good pressure but not with a nozzle of streams spread out on a calcified shower head. The staff upon arrival was an acquired taste as she was more concerned about being on her phone then being polite and checking me in or even just talking to me. Same with the one I checked out with on the way out. Breakfast was not good, I have no intention to ever stay there again, I would rather stay at a Super 8 or Red roof inn.

We came to Pigeon Forge for our 30th wedding anniversary and stayed here because it was close to the dinner shows. Everything was great! Guy at the front desk was super nice and it was so relaxing to sit down by the water. My husband stayed here when he was younger. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Fairly clean, beds were hard, breakfast was ok but staff made you feel rushed to get through and out. Only a few staff members were friendly. After a day of sight seeing, came back to our room that evening to a leak in our room coming from the ceiling above. Management immediately moved us to a different room without even looking at the issue, so I feel it had happened before and they pretty much refused to comp us because I paid through hotels.com. We won’t be be returning.

The listing pictures do NOT match the hotel or the room. I booked this place SPECIFICALLY because of the heart shaped hot tub featured in every photo of the hot tub rooms however we arrived to find a basic jeyywd tub. The lobby and hallwuad all very shabby and with a slight odor. It was OK for the price but I would have booked elsewhere had the photos been honest.

Had the same person cut in front of me to serve themselves water and refill food stations. Literally pushed past me to do so. Rooms were ok. The view is not quite as described. You are in on the river, but against the parkway. Breakfast was subpar and the same thing everyday. Military eggs, reheated suasgae patties, and biscuits and gravy. Plenty of bread and pastry predicts. Hot water took forever to reach bedroom sink and bathtub. Fan in bathroom was inop even though we reported it to staff. I will likely not return. More convenient options with better amenities, nicer staff, and better breakfast.

The rating is based on the lack of quality of the bed linens, pillows were cheap and the "hard" mattress could be upgraded. Then again you get what you pay for..won't return for that reason.

This was a regular size room they slapped a hot tub in! I did not have a desk to work on and very cramped. I wanted to leave the room and go elsewhere but staff said since I booked on third party website I had to go through them. I did and conveniently the hotel manager was not available to cancel the reservation. Very dirty and mislead. Twice the price for a room the same size as regular room!

I stayed here for four nights. The cost per night was not expensive compared to other hotels in that area. The rooms were clean: Since Covid, I wipe down just everything I’m going to touch, with a sanicloth. Some places I’ve stayed in the past look clean, but when I wipe the handles, switches and the remote control, my white cloth is brown because house keeping didn’t do their job. At this place, my Sanicloth was absolutely white so they cleaned everything that you touch.The beds were clean. I slept pretty good. The breakfast was good, but no variety from one day to the other. There were a lot of good options, but it was the same food every day, which is OK because it’s saving money by not spending on a lunch or breakfast. Staff were very friendly and I had to switch rooms after two days and housekeeping got into my Room and cleaned up really quick so that I could just move from one room to the other and not have to wait until 3 o’clock to put my luggage in. Would I stay here again if I was in town? absolutely! it is an incredible value. I saw no insects, the rooms smelled clean, good air conditioner, and heater.

You should update those hard mattresses,I was so uncomfortable I slept in the chair.Mattresses were the worse part and no ice machines.

Small hotel. Room was clean but bed is past worn out. Towels are paper thin. Not the worst place we ever booked but definitely not the best. Overpriced for what it is.
- 4/5
This is not a glamorous hotel, and the amenities are limited, however, the breakfast is serviceable and free, which is always good, the staff was very pleasant, and the room was perfectly adequate and clean with daily housekeeping, another plus. My only minor complaint was the electrical outlet in the bathroom was not working. I did not report it because it was a minor detail. But otherwise it was a nice day at a great price. Also, very conveniently located right in the middle of Pigeon Forge.

We always try to stay at Pigeon River Inn when we go to PF every fall. It is always very clean, the staff is friendly. The breakfast is typical for all hotels. The location is great. We love going out and sitting and walking near the river.
- 4/5
We enjoyed our stay at Pigeon River Inn. The beds were a little firm, but the pillows were soft so we slept good. The breakfast bar ended at 9:30am which was a little inconvenient trying to get ready before breakfast. The lady that kept it up was a little snarky, but bless her she worked hard to keep it clean and well stocked.

Room was clean, staff was nice, breakfast was good. The mattress was unbearable. My husband and I stayed two nights. The first night we tossed and flipped and flopped. We could feel the springs poking through to our bodies. We were sore all day. The second night I put three pillows between me and the mattress and it still hurt. My husband started to go sleep in our vehicle. We got hardly any sleep that night. We could hardly walk that next morning. We checked out on Thursday and today is Friday and we are still so sore we can barely get around. We did not go complain to anyone because we aren’t that kind of people. Our room number was 205. Please check it out so no one else will experience this. Like I said, that’s the only complaint. Everything else was great!

Amazing hotel. The staff was so friendly and the rooms were spotless. Bed was comfortable.

Our stay was only 1 night. Hotel was not bad, but was very loud. Could hear all traffic on Highway, noise in hall, and continued noise from AC. It all continued past midnight on a Thursday and well into the morning. Unfortunately-we did not feel rested in the morning, but it was clean. Breakfast was ok. Overall- we didn’t expect too much for price, but will spend a little more $ somewhere else in future to get a better nights rest.

The location of the hotel was the best part the stay! The AC worked perfectly and the size of the room was nice. The breakfast was absolutely horrible! No juice and watery waffle mix! The sausage patty looked boiled and tasted like it too! The mattress was really hard. Will need a good trip to chiropractor after this stay.

Clean room, great service. We loved the balcony and tub, made for a relaxing stay. Location was perfect for what we had planned. The breakfast selection was pretty good, loved the muffins and make your own waffles. Coffee in the room was a bit week, but the coffee with breakfast was good. Rifle coffee company was maybe 5 minutes away if you're needing a fancier coffee and was amazing too.

My only concern was traffic noise at night. There was huge car show in town and the largest southern volleyball tournament, massive traffic all over. I could hear cars on the main road all night. Thankfully I brought a fan and sound machine. There's nothing the hotel could have done to decrease the traffic. For this reason, I'd recommend asking for a room towards the back of the hotel (fyi, the balcony rooms face the front/strip and side of building).

Older motel. Nice and quiet. Very convenient. Staff very helpful and attentive. If you are older and want a quiet place to stay in The Forge this is the place to go.

The rooms are smaller than hotels I have stayed in. The pictures advertised do not look like the actual hotel. Most of the staff are not very friendly or welcoming. I stopped at a gas station for my preferred soft drink and they wasn’t friendly at all. It was advertised walking distance to many attractions but actually not. It would have been nice to have known that there is a trolley that would have picked you up at the bus stop to take you to the island. They only offer limited drinks in a soda machine and you pay $2.00 for a can of soda. The rooms are small but ok, the bathroom is very small. they serve the same thing for breakfast everyday and when they say it ends at 9:30 it really does. They don’t offer coffee all day only at breakfast they close off the small dining room so that you can’t sit with family to eat lunch or dinner at a table with any privacy. They do have tables in the small lobby. I was just expecting more and was disappointed, wish I would have just booked a room at the Hampton which where we stayed in North Carolina.

I have stayed in hotels where the room is only cleaned at the end of your stay or on request. These rooms were cleaned and beds made daily. I really liked this feature.

The motel was okay for a moderate price property. Cigarette and other types of smoke we're coming into our room from people smoking on the balconies. In the first room that we were in We had toilet issues and the room reeked of cigarettes so they moved us and that room also smelled of cigarettes but not as badly. The woman who runs the breakfast is incredibly rude and stares you down while you were trying to make food and eat. I wouldn't recommend getting the river view as the water is mucky and not worth the $40 difference. We decided we wanted to stay in the area an extra night and didn't really want to move our items and given the issues that we had had when we first got there we asked if they would allow us to stay in the room that we were in but at the price of the non-view since it wasn't very good view and they were nowhere near capacity and they scoffed at me and said no. One good point is that it is right in the middle of everything on the main strip so you're close to a lot of different activities. All in all this motel was okay

Decent stay for a decent price, staff was nice and location is convenient for all things Pigeon Forge and/or Gatlinburg. Plus you'll see turtles, some fish, possibly a beaver and more than likely a heron (saw it last year too, must like this spot!) if you sit out back near the stream/creek (suggest bringing your own chairs for comfort if you sit ouside).

The stay overall was great, the room we were in had a bathroom door that banged everytime we closed it (rubbing at the top), im sure the staff woulve addressed it but we didnt ask. Very convenient to the Hatfield dinner show and Wonder Works attraction. The breakfast ran out of eggs a couple times we ate there . Waffles were good. It is along the river. We had a family of 4, I would stay here again.
