"Disappointing Stay – Not as Advertised We recently stayed at the Econo Lodge Pigeon Forge Riverside, and unfortunately, the experience did not match what was presented online. First off, the appearance of the property was very misleading. We were not aware that the building was under construction, and this significantly impacted the overall experience. The rooms were much smaller than they appeared in the photos, and the entire property felt unkempt. The parking lot was especially concerning. There was visible trash from the remodel scattered throughout, along with geese droppings all over the area. On top of that, we witnessed people stealing TVs from trailers and taking construction materials, which made the environment feel unsafe and poorly managed. Many of the vending machines were either out of order or dispensed the wrong drinks, and the ice machine barely worked. These may seem like small things, but they added up quickly. The breakfast was very limited. We tried it on the first day but decided it wasn’t worth going back. Another major issue was noise. The pool is open until 11 PM, and since our room was right next to it, there was constant noise late into the night, making it difficult to relax or sleep. To top it off, during checkout, the staff didn’t ask how our stay was or show any interest in our experience, which left a poor final impression. Overall, this was a very unpleasant stay, and we would not choose to stay here again. "

"Clean room and close to DollyWood"

"Rooms were very clean and spacious with two king beds. Front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was good. We will stay here again"

"The hotel is older. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and breakfast was as to be expected. My only issue was the parking garage. The spaces are tiny and difficult to get into with all of the cement pillars. I got in at around 9pm and drove the entire garage looking for a spot. By the time I called the front desk my daughter was crying because she was so upset. They let us pull into a spot we technically weren’t allowed to park in. The whole thing was just needlessly stressful. I would not stay there again just due to the parking situation. "
