It was so easy to check in! The front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. They helped us find our many destinations. I really appreciated the fact that the Dolly Pardon Stampede were just steps away from this hotel. We were able to check in at 4:00, unpack the car, freshen up, and walk to the dinner show in time for the pre show. The breakfast had biscuits and gravy, waffles, scrambled eggs and sausage, hot cereal, juices, and so many other choices that were fresh and well prepared. The eating area had outside tables to enjoy. The indoor swimming pool was warm and dreamy with two water falls which cascaded into the hot tub and big pool. The outside of the pool area was also enclosed with a big sitting area with tables to enjoy and big restrooms with lockers. In fact, this hotel also had an outside pool with an another hot tub which was open and ready to use. It was raining outside, but I still used both pool facilities . The laundry room was very clean with two washers and dryers. It was very easy to find our room among the many buildings and levels. Our room was on the main floor. This made it easy to pull up and unload and start relaxing. I would definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in Pigeon Forge.
