My husband and I live in Knoxville but when we want just a little get away this is where we go. Yes it is a little outdated but for the price why complain. The rooms are very spacious and always clean,. The jacuzzi tubs are amazing and we have never had any problems with people being rude to us. As... More

We stayed in a 2 room suite. It was a nice size for a family of 5. We had plenty of room to spread out. Nice pool area. Man at front desk was nice. I liked this hotel, but there are other hotels in pigeon forge I like a lot better.

Date of stay - Friday, April 5, 2013 in the "penthouse". Could not check in at time reservation lady told us, (which was 3 p.m.) Had to wait over an hour because housekeepers hadn't even started cleaning when party guest were arriving. Heavy set male desk clerk was very rude. Came half running out of the office to the outside... More

I stayed here on December 13th, 2012. We checked the hotel room upon check in for bugs and found none. We unpacked, went to Dollywood, came back and began resting. Around 12AM, I noticed a bug crawling on the sheet of my bed and came to the conclusion it was a bed bug. I called management and when they got... More

For our wedding night, we stayed in Gatlinburg and were unhappy with the room we received. The next night we went to Pigeon Forge and bought our room at the Riverside Motor Lodge. Indoor heated pool, friendly staff, convenient location next to Food City. The rooms were spacious - with a jacuzzi, fireplace, and cable TV. No issues over the... More

This is an OLD motel. No flatscreens here, but there is a tv, just older model. However, the rooms were very clean, everything worked, new carpet, new tile. Love the way it is set up. Come in the room, there is kind of like a butler's pantry area with a little fridge, (looked new, worked great, no freezer in it),... More

We have stayed at this motel a number of times, and we were aware it was outdated, but didn't know customer service was outdated as well. From the disinterest at check-in, to the very rude behavior upon our efforts to find a parking space in their lot (to which we were told they don't guarantee a place to park during... More

My husband and I have stayed here since the hotel opened. While it does need updated, we have not been able to find another place in Pigeon Forge that offers the same level of quality as we get here.
