    Very nice Courtyard, nicest one we have been to. We LOVED the lazy river [45F air temp but the water is heated to comfortable warm] and pools. Staff was very kind and accommodating. Perfect central location in Pigeon Forge and to the Smoky Mountains.

    2nd stay here in last 4 months. Perfect location. Excellent amenities. Heated Lazy River, indoor pool (both open 24 hrs) fire pits, corn hole area, bar, coffee bar, bistro cafe, lobby board games. The rooms are spacious and very clean. I am not of fan of the linens. I find the sheets to be scratchy and stiff. Mini fridge in every room. Favorite hotel in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area.

    It's almost a resort! You can make a whole vacation on the property for a few days. The indoor outdoor pool, lazy river, and courtyard spaces were great! And there's a ton more to do within an easy walk of the place. We stayed on points and got a bon Voy suite night upgrade even on a very busy Friday night. Our king suite was great with a nice separated room and a living room and bedroom balcony. Everyone was very nice and everything very clean. I can't wait to go back!

    I'll give the pros and cons for this review. I will totally stay there again-it's in a great location and our room was very clean. We were upgraded to a king suite which was super nice, but honestly wasted space for us to stay for one night. Bathroom gets 5 stars as the shower was updated and the products were higher quality. However, the bath towels were super scratchy. We booked the hotel for the "relaxing" lazy River. It's smaller than it appears in photos, but the entire pool area itself is nice. There are approximately 10 tubes to use, which is fun when people who aren't using them are hoarding them. If you can get floats and find the sweet spot when kids are crashing into your tube and people aren't just sitting in the river to be an obstacle, it's a nice experience. The current flows well and they did a nice job with the island in the middle. Downstairs is the typical Courtyard bistro and Starbucks. I ordered 2 tall coffees and avocado toast for breakfast (total $22). The girl working there clearly hated her job. It was painful giving her my order then she didn't prepare my coffee correctly. Parking was free and easy. Checking in was easy. It's located next to a small area with restaurants and not a far walk from the Island.

    Clean, modern and very comfy amenities. This is definitely the nicest Courtyard I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in a lot of Courtyard. A typical Courtyard offers functional amenities for the road warrior. You get great wifi, 50 power points in the room, bright lights, and a breakfast / bar place. This Courtyard has a Heated Lazy River, a Heated Indoor Pool, a Gameroom, an huge outdoor firepit, a huge outdoor lounging area and..... and.. the best hidden thing ever....access to a well maintained river walk, right behind the hotel. Plenty of parking, right off the main street, and in the middle of everything. I particularly enjoyed the riverwalk, and the outdoor firepit. Would have had a dip in the lazy river, but I didn't have my Speedos... Most definitely staying here again.

    Lazy River at night!!

    Me and my family stayed at this hotel for vacation. The minute you walk into the lobby it smells so fresh and clean, the hotel staff is very nice and quick with their services. they have an inside pool, and outside lazy river and a hot tub that are all open 24/7 in the summer but unsure about the winter. We loved this hotel, if we go back to the area we will def be staying here again!!!!

    From the beginning, things didn't feel right. We stood in one line because initially there was only one representative checking people in. However, another person opened another line up. We were next in line, but this man just stared at us. After he stared for about 30 seconds, I already knew that he wasn't going to greet us, and that I was going to have to get his attention. I'm not sure if this young man has an issue with Black people, or same sex couples but we came representing both and he had no interest in helping us. I approached him, and we checked in and he didn't give us any information on the hotel. All of the usual information that you should be greeted with had become secret information. This was around 445 on may 19. After that horrible experience, we learned that housekeeping was subpar, walls are rice paper thin, and every time anyone flushed a toilet, we would hear it. There's a pool here that is nice, but they blast music from it every morning, forcing you to wake up whenever it starts. I would never recommend this place. The ignorance we came in contact with and the complete lack of sleep I've gotten since I've been here is unacceptable. There's no reason for a brand new hotel to not be spotless.

    Wide angle view from balcony on 6th floor of the pool, lazy river, seating, parking lot, and river.

    Fantastic hotel! Cleanest, friendliest, and most well kept hotel I've ever stayed in. My wife and I got a single king bed room with a pool view balcony. It was perfect. Super super clean. Really modern and well kept. My name was on the TV when I arrived, felt like a king! Pools and hot tub were really clean. Towels were always stocked. Trash always changed. Tables always clean. The pools, lazy river, hot tub, outdoor fire pits, and all seating are open 24/7. That was amazing. Nothing beats a late night swim before sitting around the fire. We were in heaven!! Serious kudos to the staff of this hotel. Never had a better experience!! We will be back!

    This was the perfect hotel to stay at over the Christmas Holiday in PF!!! First....the lobby area smelled like Christmas!!!! It was amazing! The decorations with the fireplace just added to the Christmas feel. And I agree with what others have stated, that the hotel has a "lodge" feel. They had three beverage dispensers that contained different fruits to flavor the water. Amazing! There was plenty of seating in the lobby/bar/restaurant area. Three sections have TVs which was really nice to use while hanging out down there. Also lots of sitting places in the living area portion of lobby. There is a gym and a separate game room with a pool table. Indoor pool was nice but after a while the water got chilly. Last night people kept the door out to the hot tub open which was horrible because I got cold fast in the pool. My husband went and closed it but someone opened it back up. Got to enjoy the hot tub on one night but it's a very popular place and after waiting two hours to get in on last night, we gave up waiting after a group let their little kids use it. Room was very nice. Glad we brought a cooler as the frig is little and doesn't get very cool. Microwave was in room. On Christmas Day each room had a Christmas stocking with ornament, and was stuffed with candy. They also offered free breakfast buffet that morning. That was really nice and made it feel even more like Christmas!!!! Housekeeping was fine until last day. We opted out of cleaning on Christmas Day. Well that must have been taken as no more service at all. We had to call down twice before clean towels were brought up! I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel if you are visiting the PF area!!!!!

    Pool with lazy river.

    Head to Gatlinburg and stay at the Margaritaville Resort…read more This hotel has seen better days. We had a basic room with two queens overlooking the creek. The bathroom had a vent with tons of rust, the paint was chipped all over the walls. Beat up and scuffed furniture. The patios were sad and depressing. The patio door was broken and did not lock. The view is "sad creek with creepy parking lot." The hotel also gives a complimentary margarita coupon to guests. We do not drink alcohol. When I went to the bar I asked the manager if we could trade it in for a non-alcoholic margarita or NA beer and they said no, only alcoholic margaritas. How ridiculous! Not even a freaking mocktail margarita! After staying at the Gatlinburg resort property this was a huge let down. We have since learned they are two different franchise owners. Suffice to say, we were going to stay two nights. We paid for two and after one night we left and booked a room at the Gatlinburg location instead. That's how bad it was.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Every interaction was genuinely friendly, fun, and welcoming. The rooms are a good size with an indoor fireplace that adds a nice touch and large bathrooms. They have outdoor balconies overlooking the shopping area or river - which was great for seeing nature (geese, beavers, herons). Facilities are nice with a good sized gym and large rooftop pool and hot tub overlooking the Ferris wheel. The roof has plenty of lounge chairs and the chill bar with great staff that will bring your orders (food included) to your chair. The hotel is pet-friendly and has an indoor fireplace-house restaurant and bar (Fins) with an outdoor patio. It also has an onsite Starbucks. While pricey, the amenities, room size, great staff, and location made it worth it! We've already started talking about our next visit!

It definitely delivers on the cozy atmosphere and river views -- and yes, there are plenty of geese to remind you you're by the water! Check-in was seamless, and the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. They have a nice 24/7 drink bar with instant coffee and tea, plus another bar with juice and tea options during breakfast and again in the evenings (7-10). Small touches like that were a nice surprise. As for the room, it was a good size and overall comfortable. The beds were great, though I did notice housekeeping service declined a bit as the week went on. Towels varied in softness, and the complimentary toiletries were below average -- I'd recommend bringing your own. For a listed 3-star hotel, I'd rate it closer to 2.5 stars. The property is clean and cozy, but for the price point, it could use a few tune-ups. That said, I'd stay here again, especially if you're traveling with family or kids. The pool and hot tub area are nice, and the continental breakfast was fairly decent. Tip: If you're staying on the first floor near rooms 110-120, you might want to request a different area unless you're an early riser -- hallway noise can be noticeable from people coming and going in the morning.

The is a full body mirror, a sink and mirror with towels outside the bathroom AND another mirror and sink inside the bathroom. We got lucky and got the very last room! It was a full house, yet there still managed to be five extra parking spaces. Did I mention that there is also a pool and the front desk lady was so sweet. There is also an additional fireplace by the pool and pool towels!!! I couldn't have asked for a more restful, cozy night. I'm still so surprised they have a fridge and microwave. They don't even do that in most places anymore. They dont charge you for opening the fridge either!! Also, I'm allergic to pet dander and they said that they made sure that every time a pet is here, they clean is well. I believe them!!! No allergies for me!!! Breakfast is still at 6:30-9:30am. There is now liquid soap and conditioner in the showers.

    Wowowowow, where do I start?!…read more Pigeon Forge is a mountainous Vegas-like touristy town. There are tons of hotels, some are great and others...not so much. Those great hotels are often going to cost a pretty penny while those more affordable ones are going to be a bit rough around the edges. So where can you stay in Pigeon Forge that isn't going to hurt the bank account while giving you a relaxing stay? Well look no further...Twin Mountain Inn & Suites is excellent AND affordable! I'm a Hotels member and when I saw Twin Mountain Inn and Suites' 5 star reviews, I was curious, especially because at the time, the rates were about $97/night AND pets are only $20/night. Not only that, the room had a river view with a balcony, fireplace, and free parking. Now, I've kept this hotel on the backburner on my account. Last time we visited Pigeon Forge, we stayed at Drury and spent so much more on a "Mountain View" that overlooked the parking structure. So, this time, I decided to go with my instinct and book with Twin Mountain. Boy, am I glad we did!! We stayed on the third floor. Don't let the cover of a book fool you. The parking is easy but can get full pretty quickly, true. However, the room was probably on of the cleanest hotel rooms we've ever stayed in. The beds were comfortable. The shower was hot and had good water pressure (albeit, no conditioner or body wash-just a small packaged bar of soap. There were two small bottles of shampoo). There's a microwave and mini fridge in the room. I also liked that there were two sinks, one in the bathroom and one just outside of it (vanity). This was convenient for two people. The AC/heater was powerful, too. The fireplace is timed and creates a cozy atmosphere. The balcony overlooking the river was peaceful and there were two plastic chairs and a little table out there to sit and enjoy the view of ducks and geese. Twin Mountain Inn and Suites is close to the strip but away from the flashing lights and noise. It's a great location! Breakfast is included and had biscuits and gravy, eggs, yogurt, sausage, fruit, cereal, and one waffle maker. There's fresh coffee and a juice machine, too. It was a tight squeeze as it was very busy for 7:30am so I decided to get one biscuit and gravy, two sausages, and a yogurt to take back to the room, which were all very good. There's a drink vending machine outside of the lobby and one near the parking lot. The elevator was convenient and they also had luggage trolleys, too. This was an outstanding stay for one night and I wish it had been longer. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend staying with Twin Mountain Inn & Suites for your next stay in Pigeon Forge.

I have an achy hip and leg most days and even my own bed kills me. This bed had me sleeping like a baby, even with my four year old beside me.

They do provide a breakfast in the lobby in the morning and have games and seating areas for families. Would definitely recommend staying here!
