“great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 13, 2012

We were blown away but the quality and cleaniness of this hotel. We absolutely loved it. We were going to Dollywood but after checking in the kids did not want to leave the hotel. The slide was awesome, free snow cones by the pool, and the breakfast....WOW. We loved it!

Thank You for the wonderful review and our staff always looks forward to serving you and making your stay the best possible.This time of year is always so beautiful here in the mountains and we have so many lights and festivities that the whole family has something they love or want to do next. Here at the Most Fun Place to stay in the Smokies, we always have Something New and Something Different no matter how many times you have stayed with us. Most customers that are repeat guests always notice that we are constantly trying to make the guests stay even better than the last. We hope that when going out and about in the area, that you will always check with the front desk about tickets or discounts no matter what your going to do. They are there to make life easier and less expensive while on that vacation. We look forward to your next stay with us and we appreciate you making us your Home away from Home. We hope you and yours have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

“Our new favorite place to stay!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 12, 2012

We normally rent a cabin while in Pigeon Forge, but our last cabin was a horible experience and of all the cabins we've stayed in, none of them are not kept up very well. This hotel was fabulous! We saved money and loved the spacious room and spacious bathroom. We will for sure make this or favorite place to stay in Pigeon Forge and the location is perfect! Clean, friendly staff, good breakfast....what more could we ask for?

Traditional Vacations are great and we all look forward to them, especially with family. However, they do need fine tunning from time to time as it's nice to know what to expect. The only surprise we like to give our guest is the savings and how much more Fun the next stay will be from the last. We always like to have Something for everyone and we always look forward to welcoming our return guests back home. Traditional vacations should be fun and hassel free and thats why our front desk is there to help you with all your needs while booking and staying with the Clarion Inn Pigeon Forge. Don't forget to blog and / or tweet us and tell your friends as well, while looking us up on face book. We always announce our winners of our January and Febuary Polar Bear giveawys on Facebook and that contest will be going on here at the Clarion this coming winter as well. We look forward to your return visit anytime, and we hope to see you again soon...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

“Very nice experience, convenient location, well managed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

Great experience, our first stay in a Clarion hotel. My husband & I, our son & wife + our 2 granddaughters for 2 nites. Our king & double queen room adjoined. Entire hotel is non-smoking, beds were comfortable, clean, well appointed bathrooms, a wardrobe closet, dresser drawers, refrigerator, microwave & safe & coffee maker. An extra cot was provided in case one of the children needed it. The front desk mgm't were extremely courteous, accomodating, ready to answer any question. I noticed they kept an eye on guests comings & goings, as well as the breakfast room to be sure all was well. Beds have comforters with removable cover, plus top sheet & good blanket, clean and sanitary, VERY important to me. A full breakfast included in the rate was excellent, plus they have a cook to make a custom omelet. In season, there is outdoor pool and slide, and they have an indoor pool and hot tub, gym, washers/dryers. We left happy, congratulating ourselves that we found this hotel., also convenient to at least 3 great restaurants and a nice 'strip' mall of shops a short walk across the parking lot, also a mini-golf park. We give the Clarion Inn 5 STARS!

Room Tip: Our 5th floor adjoining rooms, each with a small balcony, were very good, no complaints, no noise. T...

Thank You for the 5 star review. The great thing about having a 5 star hotel with 5 star service is that you get 5 Star Customers! We appreciate your having stayed with us and we are glad you enjoyed your stay and visit to the Smokey Mountains. We always have Something New and Something Different here at the Clarion Inn Pigeon Forge and we hope you have now found your Home away from Home.

We also can show you the secrets to avoiding any traffic or scedule problems, just ask our team at the front desk.

“Thanksgiving family tradition”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012 via mobile

This is our 2nd stay at the clarion in pigeon forge on thanksgiving. It was perfect just like last year. Check in is quick, hotel has the feel of "being back home." Decorated for Christmas, smell of fresh baked cookies and a staff that is waiting to serve you is what you will find when you walk in the door . Full hot breakfast included with your stay. Fresh cooked waffles and omelets at your request. My 5 year old granddaughter loves the indoor pool, hot fresh popcorn and cookies each evening. We did miss the singer that was there last year but there were other guest that played the piano and sang Christmas carols in the lobby. If you decide to leave the hotel, there are lots of great places to eat and shop in walking distance. Also a Kroger, service station and other little quick stops behind the hotel. If you are looking for a "perfect place to stay at a good price" this is it. This is now our family's "Thanksgiving tradition"

“Clarion Inn-Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

We made the reservations with Seth who recommended we stay on the 6th floor, which was great. Then, when we arrived, check-in was a breeze. From there, Bruce took care of us giving us ideas for sights and checking in to make sure we were having a good time. The breakfast was delicious and when there was no seating in the room, they set up additional seating in the lobby, which was beautifully decorated. The room was clean, the ceilings were high, and the view was beautiful. We walked to Calhoun's to eat and both the service and the food were spot on.

Room Tip: 6th floor in the back

Thank You for staying with us and we are glad you liked Calhouns Restaurant next door, they are also on our one touch star service feature and deliver food directly over to the hotel. The menus are located in your information book in the rooms and there are also three other restaurants here at the Landing and the movie theater, as well as the shops, the two putt putt corses and the attraction called the Tomb! The hotel is well situated for extra things to do close by and has easy access to the other areas of the city, once you know the secret...Ask the front desk for help on getting around town and where and what to do, they can help make your stay a much happier one. We look forward to your next stay here at the most Fun Place to stay in the SMOKIES!!!
