The owner really cares and makes sure you are happy. Breakfast is fulfilling and delicious! All kinds of meats and sides. My daughter loves the cookies they bake at night. The IPads in the gathering area were a big hit. The slide outdoors is fun fun fun! Must stay!

The Clarion has become our favorite hotel in the Dollywood area. Great location. Walking distance to many different restaurants. No Way Jose is the closest and one of our favorites. Staff was friendly. Rooms were very clean. We loved having a ceiling fan.

The best hotels don't just create good memories on vacation time with families, they help make them happen.
