Top Great Smoky Mountain Wheel Hotel Reviews

Arbors at Island Landing Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel with magical decor (beautiful touches like rocking chairs, electric fireplace, rocking chairs outside, and even a tree inside). A lot of added amenities like a covered fire pit area for gathering and toasting marshmallows with occasional sing-alongs. 24-hour fruit, donuts and drink options in lobby. Free pancake breakfast coupons for the restaurant across the street. The staff was very friendly. The only minor challenge was not enough parking for a full hotel if patrons, but parking can be found just outside the hotel. It was a minor inconvenience for such a unique hotel experience."

Park Tower Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, safe and convent location. I had no issues with this facility. I would definitely stay at this location again. The staff were on top of issues and the pool was a nice touch to relax."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Pigeon Forge

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were big and clean. The breakfast was good and the staff was better. The pool was a little colder than I would have liked but doable. The Jacuzzi was nice and hot."

Timbers Lodge

8/10 Good

"We liked the location. It was a good place to walk our dogs. The furniture was clean but needs to be updated."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Pigeon Forge

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location, clean, pool & hot tub was very nice. Bed was hard"

Margaritaville Island Hotel

8/10 Good

"The stay wasn't bad. We left early due to stink bugs being EVERYWHERE. The only solution they had was to vacuum the live bugs coming into the room. As soon as they left, more bugs came in. I had to leave. Other than the bugs and no breakfast the 1 night stay was decent."

Baymont by Wyndham Pigeon Forge near Island Drive

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk was friendly and very informative to where everything was. It was a convenient location to walk to area places. Good view from our windows. Had a good breakfast bar. The lady in there was really nice and helpful."

Americana Inn, a Travelodge by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Decent"

The Wayback, Pigeon Forge, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the wayback hotel! This will definitely be our go to stay in pigeon forge! The onsite restaurant was phenomenal and every staff member we encountered was so kind and helpful! The only thing we found odd was the housekeeping service. There were days we had their cleaning supplies left in our room, and our bed was never made during our stay. We didn’t mind as they were attentive to restock towels and the coffee bar! We never ended up using it, but the pool and hot tub area was also very nice! We loved the Airstream bar and that the area became 21+ after 6pm! Wonderful experience, we are looking forward to coming back very soon! :)"
