Booked through 3rd party, looked to be a nice motel but turned out to be a crappy place. The air conditioner was not on when we walked in the room so it smelled like moldy smoke. There was a back door for the patio which had goose feces all over. This motel was very outdated, the front desk sometimes wasn't... More

River Lodge is a quiet kept secret! It's affordable, clean, quiet and has decent ammenities for the price. All rooms come with a balcony overloking the river. There is also a picnic area alongside the river that has picnic tables and BBQ grills that can be used. The picnic area is visited daily by ducks and sometimes a rooster! The... More

My husband and I went to the Pigeon Forge area for our Anniversary, and picked (somewhat at random) the River Lodge South Motel. Our room was on the bottom floor and had a back door leading out to a picnic area and river. Every morning there were dozens of ducks and geese that would gather out there. They were beautiful...

The staff go above and beyond to make you feel like you are on vacation but that you are right at home. Quality people at a quality motel. Being right on the river was a wonderful plus. Beautifully decorated rooms. Some available with fridge, stove, wine cooler, safe & microwave...many amenities and excellent service.

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,... More

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... More

Quiet off the main road. Didn't take advantage of the breakfast... More
