The hotel had zero wifi. This would not have been such a huge deal except that my son had summer school assignments that had to be turned in electronically. The hotel could not get the wifi fixed and we ended up having to change hotels which was an absolute pain! The rooms very small and not the cleanest. There also was no covered place to unload your luggage. Unfortunately, it rained almost every day we were in town. There was not an elevator that we found and we were on the third floor. There was a ramp you could walk up though. We ended up only staying one night of our reservation.

I liked that it was clean. I like the restaurant being on the grounds. The food was good. The vouchers for the free pancakes was nice. I didn't like the parking lot. I didn't like the very steep ramps you have to walk up to get to the second and third floors. I didn't like that there isn't an ice machine on every floor.

The room was so small you couldn’t move in it and it was arranged very badly. The bath tub hadn’t had a good cleaning in a long time. I wouldn’t take a shower in the tub until I let it soak in a quart of bleach and hot water over night. This is the first time I have had this problem there. The staff was very courteous.

My room was changed with no notice from a single queen to a double double, there is an extra $200 hold for "locals" that is not mentioned on the site. For damages. The room is dated but has been updated , the shower didn't want to work and we couldn't get good pressure. I was not offered any renumeration for the switched room. I was just told they could transfer me possibly to another sister hotel who might have a single bed room. No refund and only an apology once I called because the room was a double. I will mention that my wife and I were staying alone with no children or pets. The only upside o found was it was clean and the mattress was comfortable. I definitely will not stay with this company again.

Clean room. No elevator or stairs, just very steep ramps, you were exhausted by the time you got to your floor. P8cs seemed like a lodge type atmosphere but it is just a regular hotel.

Room booked was changed

I booked a room for my daughter and I on the parkway in Pigeon Forge TN. When we arrived, they told us that were were "lucky" that we were upgraded to their resort hotel. This hotel, however, was approx. four miles away from Pigeon Forge. When we arrived at the alternate location, we found that the room was about a quarter mile walk up a hill and due to the construction they had going on, we could not park close to the room. So, we walked with all our bags and a two month old baby up the hill to our "upgraded" accommodations. When we got to the room, we found that it only had one bed (the original reservation was for two queen beds), and a pull out sofa. The room was very small, and this was extremely disappointing. I reserved a two bed room and ended up being "upgraded" to a one bed, one pull out sofa bed that we had to basically hike to get to. We just wanted to stay on the parkway so that it would be convenient to us. Not very happy with this issue. Since it was about 9:30 or so at night we decided to just take the room. I will not book with this hotel again.
