The beds are so comfortable I rested sleep like a baby and enjoyed the pools indoors and outdoors with the hot tubs and jacuzzi. My husband and I love the indoor jacuzzi and balcony facing the road that way we get to watch the traffic and all the nice cars
The front desk clerk failed to inform us about the Trolly. We asked about Uber and she said there are very few. I literally asked how so people get around and she still DID NOT MENTION. she made it sound like we had zero options for travel, other than our own vehicle. There were no dry towels near the pool and the beverage dispenser was broken. The room was basic but clean. I would stay here again. Maybe put a sign on the counter about the Trolley.
We stayed at the Best Western Plaza Inn on day 2 of our Dollywood vacation. We switched from the Holiday Inn to get the free breakfast. This is a motel - parking at your room with an exterior door. Kind of old school. We were on the second floor, so couldn't park right close, but nearby. Unlike old motels, this one has elevators and ramps to go between floors. So handicapped folks are good to go. Our room was fine. TV and AC worked well. Beds were comfortable, though ours both creaked with a metallic sound. It was pretty quiet even with a pretty full motel. Some noises, and similar metallic creaks from the next room. Shower was fine, bathroom clean. Good water pressure and hot water. Ice machine was pretty far away on the first floor near the pool. we were worried that the refrigerator was not working, but it turns out it was just defrosting. Front desk said it does that every few days as regular maintenance. The pool has a handicap seat to lower wheelchair guests into the pool, which is a nice thing to have. Breakfast was good and hot. Waffles, eggs, yogurt, and cereals. It was pretty busy at 8:30am. But there is seating out on the patio that everyone else seemed to overlook. So overall a good stay. It was Jeep Week - so a lot of Jeep Wranglers in the parking lot and folks exchanging rubber ducks. Fun! Some of the Jeeps were decorated great with custom names painted on the side.
Exceeded my expectations for the value of the room. Hotel was conveniently located on the parkway near many dining and family attractions. Rooms were a good size, bed were comfortable. Pools were clean. Rooms were cleaned everyday and new linens were provided.
Young maintenance man in his 40s I believe Roberto! Was absolutely amazing. Going out of his way to help us with our car! If it wasn't for him the other guy was trying to steal my money! My husband and I was watching the young man work so hard! Always on the move and we were very impressed! Especially when we saved us! I hope God blesses this hard working man.
My family and I stayed for one night for a quick-before-school vacation. Front desk employees were nice, our room was clean, comfortable beds, and the breakfast was great! I would recommend more towels in the room. I was unaware that there weren't any towels by the pool that you had to bring your own. I suggested on the hotel review page that maybe the front desk could offer towels upon arrival to those using the pool. Our room was quite the walking distance from the outdoor pool and the front desk; but it was fine. I just have a heads up for next time.
Always liked plaza inn. Clean and well kept hotel. Love the pools and breakfast is great. Staff is friendly. We stayed here few years ago and had to leave early due to family emergency and they gave us our money back on the room for the night we didn't stay. Most hotels won't do that. I thought that was super nice of them.
Friendly staff, excellent location! We traveled to Pigeon Forge to celebrate our daughter's TENTH birthday. The Best Western was the ideal location for the activities we had planned. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast area had a bit of an odd smell later in the morning, but the food was tasty, and we opted to dine outside. Overall, a great stay!
The floors were dirty, like they have never been cleaned. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were clean. The bathroom door was hung backwards, making it hard to get in and out of the bathroom. Plenty of fresh towels daily. Lacked having enough toiletries. Breakfast was good.
BW Plaza for the price point this hotel has great selection of rooms The hotel rooms where clean and well stocked - The BW Plaza - location to attractions - very walk able to entertainment & restaurants - Sad that our trip was cut short due to a family emergency
Our experience at Best Western was very good! It is an older hotel, so there were some aspects of the room that could use updating or repair. However, the room was very clean and comfortable, the pools were awesome, and the breakfast had lots of options for the family, with staff constantly attending to the guests and buffet. If you are looking for a budget stay, this is a great option!
The townhouse room is very large and perfect for a family. That being said, this hotel is older and needs to be updated. You can hear all the cars driving down the parkway, as the balcony door does not shut tight. Complimentary buffet breakfast was good. Had a nice variety and the area was clean and organized. The staff was also very nice.
We stay here very regular and we couldn't be more happier, it's very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful great location
While traveling through the area we needed room to stay. We chose this hotel. The room was so spacious and very clean. The front desk staff were awesome. Those ladies rock! We only stayed one night but when back in this area we have a new place to stay!
Clean property and rooms. Beds comfortable. Two outside pools and one indoor all well maintained. Stayed here last year, this year and hopefully next year as well! Just wish staff would recognize the fact that I'm a Best Western rewards member upon check in like they are supposed to. But they are quick to resolve any issues that arise.
The accommodations were terrible and your front desk was night polite We thought we where getting a hotel not a motel
Best hotel in the area, great for the family and friends. 3 pools, food court and the grounds are kept up and very clean. Location is very convenient to any of the many areas of interest. The Manager is one of the best, having a staff that is very friendly and knowledgeable for any of yours questions or needs.
I live this motel, it's the Only one we stay at,it's so close to everything you need to go to, the rooms are clean the staff is always so nice n curtious they keep an eye on their parking lots n that really makes it safe , it's a very family oriented and safe motel and their continental breakfast is like your at a restaurant buffet! They even have biscuits n gravy! As well as scrambled eggs lots of fruit,waffles, cereal ,bagels toast and so much more! It's always so nice to stay here n I highly recommend it! Thanks so much for a nice stay again! I will be back soon!
We had a quick one night stay due to the nature of our trip. We stayed the night before in a different hotel in a different city and it was awful. So, we were surprised when we stayed at the Best Western. Easy check in, lots of pool options, had a balcony, large room, great beds, huge bathroom, fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The breakfast was wonderful, lots of options! Will be going back.
The location is great wether you're spending time at Dollywood (like my family did) or if you're there for shops and carnival rides, you could feasibly walk to attractions and food (my family has 3 children 8 / 5 / 2 years old, so walking around wasn't really an option for us, but I could see where many people would. The pool was nice, there was an additional pool in the back and I believe one in-doors, we just used the one by the main office and my kids all had a great time. Not huge, but not small. 1' kid pool, and up to 6' in the larger pool, and a spa. Plenty for a couple of families to enjoy and all have fun. What has us on the fence to return, is the Ants. Our room looked clean, bedding was clean bathroom water pressure was one of the best I've ever had, but a slow drain. We didn't keep food in our room, yet we woke up with ants all over all of us both mornings. There are far, far worse hotels in the area, but for $200 a night, I just thought we would have had a better situation. Room A/C works, not great in the heat of the day, but you're not here to spend extra time in the hotel room. It cooled enough to sleep.
We had an amazing stay. Staff was nice and helpful! Room was very clean and we loved having freshly made beds each night. No bugs anywhere! This is located in the heart of pigeon forge which made the events easy to travel to
We have stayed here 4 times and love this hotel. It is conveniently located on the Parkway so you are.close to all of the action. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are very clean. The beds are a bit firm for my liking but all the other good things about this hotel keep us coming back
Pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and loved the amenities like the pools! It's also in a great location with food and activities within walking distance.
We always stay at BW Plaza Inn when in Pigeon Forge. It's by far the best hotel in the area. Always clean. Staff are great. Breakfast is wonderful.
One of our favorite locations and the absolute best place to stay! Great breakfast, super comfortable beds and really clean! The staff is amazing and the grounds are absolutely gorgeous! Love this place and the staff! The view of the mountains is so cool!
We enjoyed our stay. Great location -Our room had a balcony with a nice view- friendly - helpful staff
Loved our stay! Comfy beds, friendly staff, nice pools, & great continental breakfast! Would definitely start at this hotel in the future!
Comfortable room with balcony. Clean and roomy Has everything you need for a great stay. Close to many attractions and Dollywood
If you're looking for clean stay here wonderful staff well-maintained pools are open until midnight outside couldn't have asked for a better hotel and staff can't say enough how clean this hotel is
Just checking in we ran into an issue took us nearly an hour to finally get into our room just never had that kinda problem getting into a room when staying someplace
We stayed here because of the reasonable rates, free parking, complimentary breakfast and a bigger room with a balcony, Jacuzzi and fireplace. The room was clean and spacious. There were even 2 luggage racks instead of the usual 1. The only problem we had was that we could not figure out how to use the fireplace of turn on the jacuzzi. We asked at the desk and they said there should be a switch on the fireplace and the jacuzzi and that if w could not find it to let them know and they would call maintenance. . Anytime we wanted to use it, it was at night so we never called them, It would be nice to have some written instructions in the drawer or posted on the door. I could not get the plug in switch in the bathroom to turn on so I could plug in the hairdryer or my electric toothbrush. I did not tell them until we left. I just used the plugs in the big room. Other than that, we had an enjoyable trip and the room met our needs. We liked all the space.I would have given it a 5 if everything had easily worked.
We are very happy with our stay. The staff was great the food was great the price was amazing. We will definitely stay here again
We stayed 5 nights in early May. We had a wonderful stay. Rooms were on the larger side and clean. Beds comfy. Pools need some work.. mold around the indoor one. Too chilly for the outdoors ones but they looked nice! Hotel is close to everything. We walked to Dollys Stampede as it's about a 2 min walk away. It's at the end of the strip heading towards Gatlinburg so very good spot to stay. Price was decent too for off season. We would absolutely stay again.
We stayed at Best Western Plaza in Pigeon Forge. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean. Good hot water in the shower. Overall a great stay.
A little dated but quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was great! We would definitely stay here again. Great value.
Wouldn't stay anywhere else. Best Western Plaza Inn staff are AMAZING and strive to make each visitor happy.
This is our go to hotel for Pigeon Forge. We love the indoor pool, king, parkway view rooms. The staff are very friendly, the breakfast always great, and the location is wonderful. Our room is always clean and comfortable. We highly recommend this hotel to all our family and friends!
This Best Western is always great! We have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. It is always clean and the employees are always friendly and helpful. The maintenance man even unlocked our truck when we locked our keys in it. Great location Great breakfast Large, clean rooms WE WILL BE BACK
Our room was very comfortable and clean, we had plenty of towels. Breakfast was one of the best we have had (real homemade gravy), great service and plenty of food. Check in and check out staff was friendly and nice.
3* is directed towards the owner. When you have been out shopping and walking, eating all day, you are ready to relax in your room. Maybe watch some of your favorite TV shows. I was not able to do this because the owner doesn't allow streaming devices. I fully understand the owners policy, even tho I emphatically disagree. You're only using the set as a monitor. To the owner: Streaming is current and will only increase in our future. This is a very nice property and excellent location. I don't want to see it lose out on future business.
The room was HUGE, immaculately clean, updated, and had a fireplace and large balcony. One of the nicest hotel rooms we've ever stayed in. Pol towels were non existent a day requests to get them were not met
A very pleasant, comfortable and reasonably priced hotel. Have stayed here multiple times and I have no complaints for any visits. Only one minor drawback is the location towards one end of the parkway. Still not a big issue.
Easy and fast check in. Friendly staff. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. We chose not to eat breakfast at the hotel so I'm not sure the quality there. Exceeded my expectations. I will definitely stay here again. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others
We are loyal BW members so we had a Free night and $100 certificate. That meant we stayed here for $72 for a total of two nights. It's located on the quieter end of Pigeon Forge, which we loved. The room on the 5th floor was huge with a balcony facing the mountain. It was a last minute trip when we saw the forecast called for snow friday night and sat. Surprisingly, the forecast was right. There was enough snow in the upper elevations to be pretty and safe to drive in. They have a large breakfast area and it was close to the 5 story building we were in. You can also access the street in front and back of the motel. This is a must stay motel. Don't miss it. All of the staff are really kind too
Awesome desk attendants and very clean motel. Saved our weekend we had a room at another hotel turned on the lights and saw roaches I went out called the Toni and they were full but said plaza had rooms so I booked one went down and checked out where we were the other hotel gave us a refund and was nice but this hotel saved our trip … they even let us check in really early due to our issue at the other place … will never stay anywhere but this hotel or the Toni from here on out …..
We always stay at best western plaza inn for our annual Christmas trip! we are a family with young children. We love this is clean, safe and close to all the local attractions. We have visited in the summer and its nice there are two outdoor pools and one indoor.
Great but we got locked out of the hotel room! The key just randomly expired. They didnt explain why and this happed twice over are stay. We a got a hotel room by the pool! The room was big. Had a kitchen area and a table. A huge TV and fire place. The only not great thing is the bathroom is showing age. Other than than that's its great. Pool area is huge with hot tub. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast room was nice but they had no peanut butter.
We stayed here in December for our trip to Pigeon Forge. I redeemed BW points so our stay was free. Our room was clean, had a cute electric fireplace. We got a river view room on the first floor. I didnt realize that there was a busy road between the hotel and the river. I was abit unnerved because there was a back door to our room which was right by the road. There was a small balcony you could sit at but its important to know the back door will shut and lock you out so leave the door open or have someone inside who can let you back in. Our room was in a different building than the lobby, it would have felt more secure if you had to use a keycard to enter the building. There is a free breakfast here, the coffee cups are very small, but breakfast was okay. I saw two outdoor pools, but it was too cold for us to swim. There was a small pond near the building that had breakfast. There was what looked like an abandoned hotel in the same lot area. If we had paid to stay here I wouldnt have been very impressed.
My family and I were there for one night and besides the seating for the breakfast area everything was amazing. Clean hotel room and for the most part the beds are comfy. The front desk staff were very kind.
We booked a “townhouse” with 3 queens size beds. It had a shower downstairs and a tub upstairs. I took a ton of photos because I couldn't find much detailed info when I was looking. There are two beds downstairs and upstairs is a nice space with it's own tv, bathroom, and ac unit. There's a narrow, spiral staircase going upstairs. My 78 Yr old mother in law used it fine. Solid handrail. Nice overall. Our room is right above the check in area facing parkway - it's very noisy. You can hear all the traffic, people outside the room, etc. if you are a light sleeper, this is probably not the room for you. There is a trolly stop right in front, which is very handy. Note on that - on the return trip, get off across the street and se the crosswalk to save yourself 30 minutes. The room is a bit outdated with the exception of the ginormous shower. There are not a lot of outlets and the layout is a bit weird. We all really liked the fact that there is a sink and mirror in the bathroom and another outside the bathroom downstairs. We also liked the small patio facing Parkway. I didn't realize when I booked, that the entrances are all outside facing. No interior. That looks common for this area. We also used and loved the outside pool in front.
Very nice room, great service. Great location. On the trolley line. Good breakfast and the service hours for breakfast were very nice. Three pools and lots of easy parking. Easy access from major roads .
A good hotel. The staff was all nice. The check in and check out were easy. The room was clean and very big. Plenty of channels to watch on the TV if you want them. Breakfast was good and is located in a small building behind the main hotel/motel. There were a fair amount of options and were always refilled.
The hotel is a really good size, a lot bigger than we thought when we pulled in. They have 3 pools, one inside and two outside, along with two hot tubs. The have breakfast from 7am till 10am. They had scrambled eggs, sausage patties and links, biscuits and gravy, cereal, waffles and toast. There was 5 days out of 7 that we were there and the line for the breakfast bar was so long and all the seats even the ones outside were full. We came back and it was still full, so we ended up going elsewhere to eat. We had a King size bed, and the room was very spacious. It had a fridge. , microwave, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, and a small coffee machine. The room was clean, and the house cleaning crew were friendly. They need a larger breakfast area to accommodate all the guest they have. Overall, I would recommend the place to stay.
Amazing Staff, Great Breakfast, All around wonderful stay, always about the customer. Kept very clean. We have been returning customers for both the Spring and Fall Rod Runs for over 20 years and very happy with our stays.
Very clean rooms; delicious breakfast with plenty of choices; desk staff & cleaning crew were all helpful and pleasant; maintenance crew was quick to respond when the tv remote wasn't working properly.
Pros Great location on the strip (Parkway) with access to many attractions & dining. Friendly staff. A separate building served the morning breakfast. Inexpensive and budget-friendly. Cons Motel-style building with 3 floors. Everyone has immediate access to your room door. The rooms are simple, small, and connected immediately to a small wash space beside the shower room. The ceilings in these areas aren't drywall, giving a cheap feel. The beds weren't the most comfortable and felt as though they were older and heavily used. Unsecured vehicle parking lot. Closing After entering the room, we didn't unpack and checked out the next morning for a different hotel. Motel-style lodging isn't for us, however, if that's okay with you, then this might not be a bad option. We gave it a 3 out of 5 to be fair to what it is.
This place was in a convenient location to Dollywood. It is along the major road that has many restaraunts and stores. Take the trolley to Dollywood, it is close by and saves you on paying for parking.
Very clean room, very comfortable. It was a great location. The cleaning lady made the best impression for us, very helpful and acommodating. Check in was smooth and fast, however, the day and night staffing were not friendly nor very helpful. The laundry room had very clean machines. The breakfast dining area was awesome with outdoor eating, a separate seating area with a bubbling fountain.surrounded by lush landscape.
The housekeepers started banging on the door at 9 am to see if we were out. They knocked again at 9:30, 10, and 10:30. That was annoying enough, but then I realized I left my pillow. I called that evening to ask if I can come get it. The person at the front desk said the lost and found is locked every day when housekeepers leave. She said I can come back on Monday for it. Only problem is that I live in Tampa bay and I'm going home today. I was only here to flee a hurricane. It wasn't just the ridiculousness of her answer, but also her attitude. She didn't care or apologize. Is there really that much internal theft that it requires management to lock up the lost and found? Over a pillow? I managed a hotel for 4 years and now I travel at least 1 or 2 weekends a year for work. I've never run into problems like this. So, to summarize: 1. Housekeepers will start waking you up at 9 to rush you out 2. There must be a lot of internal theft if they have to lock up the lost and found 3. Staff is rude and unhelpful
Our check in experience was very easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is in the strip, but had no issues with access. We happened to choose the weekend of the Jeep invasion! The team still handled everything with ease. Gave us directions to nearby local restaurants which we enjoyed, although we didn't use the pool, there were a number of people enjoying it. Our room was clean. Thee we bed not as comfortable as home, but still acceptable, breakfast in the morning was a good surprise. They had a hot breakfast with scrambled eggs and biscuits and gravy. I anticipated a continental breakfast.
I am so glad that we picked this hotel for our 7 day stay. The breakfast area was amazingly clean, the breakfast choices were plentiful and the staff was amazing. The room was so big that when we stripped down our Jeep there was more than enough room to put everything(DOORS AND ROOF). I highly recommend this hotel.
Great, clean rooms. Great Buffay style breakfast. All three areas of the pools were clean. The property was very very clean. Staff was awesome. Definitely will be back. Thank you everyone. This was awesome 3 nights and 4 days
Great location, clean rooms , breakfast was nice. enjoyed my stay would highly recommend. Stayed 4 nights service was great, Everything was close by, dollywood, museums all the attractions gift shops. It was a great location.
This was my second visit to this hotel in Pigeon Forge and again it was great service, good breakfast, clean and friendly. Very convenient to attractions. Has an inside and outside pool, and a hot tub. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
I come to Pigon Forge a few times per year and always stay with y'all. I would like to see a discount for being loyal to your to you. The only thing I would change with the room is I would put a comfortable chair in the room to relax in.
My family and I just returned home from little getaway trip we stayed in back tower building with a balcony room 388. Our room was very clean and huge. We have stayed here before years ago in river view rooms on the ends of the building. This room overlooked parking lot pool and mountains. This is our fav hotel in pigeon forge. It's walkable to few things to do. It's clean and reasonably priced. Breakfast used to be a lot better then it is now. We ate it once and that was enough. Lol. I've never stayed at a hotel that has brown gravy for biscuits. It didn't use to be brown it was white and tasted good but not anymore. So skip on breakfast. Other then that everything was great. Pool by our room was cloudy maybe need some chemicals. Workers are very friendly.
Stayed several nights on 5th floor with balcony view. Very quiet place. Room was clean and overall in good condition. Breakfast consists of Waffles, Sausage, Eggs, Biscuits and Gravy, as well as Cereal and Oatmeal.
Rate was better than many in the area. Very close to National Park entrance. Room was large and clean. No carpet. Walk in shower was very large. Indoor and outdoor pools were nice. Breakfast was very good with many options. Would stay again and recommend to others.
The breakfast was good but very crowded unless you want to wake up at 7:00am while on vacation. Come prepared if you need a cot. This hotel does not provide them. Both nights I was there the hallway reeked of weed. However, it is a great location and we did not spend much time at th hotel other than to sleep.
The housekeeping here is awesome. They are on top of taking care of you and your family. Two pools and two hot tubs. I don't think I have ever seen staff so happy to clean or help. I have stayed here a few times and will be back
Our room was clean and nice and cool for these hot summer temps. The bed was the best I've ever experienced when staying away from home, so very comfortable. The location was great for any thing you want to do in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Sevierville. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Our stay was great. The staff was very friendly and willing to answer any questions we had. The room was very clean. The beds were comfortable with fresh sheets and fluffy pillows. The bathroom was very clean also and the shower pressure and water temps were great. Had no trouble with the cleaning staff. The breakfast was good, only suggestion for diabetics is take your own syrup if you choose to splurge on a Teddy Bear shaped Waffle. The pools were well maintained and there was plenty of chairs and space to move around. I would highly recommend and I will be staying here again in the future. It is also a good location for most of the events and shopping.
We have stayed at the Best Western Plaza Inn every time we come to the Smoky Mountains. The rooms are always clean and nice. The breakfast is always warm and plentiful. We love the bear shaped waffles. The 3 pools are always well maintained and always have fresh, clean towels ready. The front desk, breakfast, and housekeeping staff are always friendly and helpful. My family definitely recommends this hotel to everyone.
We arrived late after a full day at Dollywood. The price was right, and the hotel was clean and not too far from the park. We asked for a 1st floor room when checking in and the staff were very kind in checking and accommodating our request. The front desk staff when we checked in was very friendly and she also recommended a pizza place that would deliver our dinner to the hotel. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use any of the 3 pools onsite, but they looked wonderful. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and it was clean. The breakfast was nice in the morning and our checkout experience was pleasant. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
The place was nice and clean and staff was very professional. They have outdoor pools and a indoor pool which is nice. Breakfast was pretty good. The hotel is on the main strip so alot of things are in walking distance.
Comfortable room, easy to park and Continental Breakfast was wonderful. We are in our 80's and the accommodations are just great. On line registration is very "USER FRIENDLY". The rooms feel like they are brand new. Being just past Traffic Light #8 is very close to the road to Dollywood.
Room were very spacious and clean. Did not feel like you are on top of each other. Breakfast area was nice and included hot and cold items. Lots of staff checkin was very quick. 10 minutes to Dollywood. Highly recommend if going to Dollywood. Price was great
I stayed here because of the hood low price compared to other options - and was very impressed. I used the hotel as simply a place to sleep so I didn't want to spend too much. Room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was good
This is second stay here in 3 months first time October 2022. We had some points we needed to use so we made a quick trip for our anniversary in October. The ratings were good so we stayed here. It was a surprise how nice everything was. Rooms are better than the pictures show, large and spacious and very clean. So we came back in January 2023 for a quick weekend trip. The indoors pool area is great, and clean. This is our new Pigeon Forge home. The staff is awesome.
Only complaint was bed comfort. Little on the hard side but rooms were clean and spacious. Had to drive to section with pool, wouldn't be a problem but we went in January so back and forth was cold. Breakfast was nice.
Excellent experience! Extremely clean, courteous staff, convenient location, indoor pool, awesome place for families. And the breakfast, including the biscuits and gravy, is delicious! Absolutely nothing negative whatsoever.
We always pick this hotel when in Pigeon Forge. It's convenient to so many attractions. The property is well kept. Staff are always friendly. Tge morning breakfast is great. We always get an indoor pool access room. Makes it nice to sit outside your room still in the shelter during bad weather
Nice hotel. Indoor pool area is very nice. Rooms are large. Breakfast is good and hot with biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage and waffle makers. Hotel is next to Dollys Stampede and close to some attractions. Short drive to Gatlinburg. Texas Roadhous and McAllisters across the street.
Our family loves staying here. My kids really loved that our room was in the indoor pool area. It's such a great family hotel! We definitely recommend and will be back for another visit ourselves in the future!
My wife and i have stayed at this Best Western in Pigeon Forge twice, both times when we visited Dollywood. It is very close to Dollywood. Wonderful indoor pool, excellent rooms, fantastic breakfast area and food, close to restaurants and other attractions in the area. Walking distance to Dixie Stampede.
Nice staff. Clean rooms. Nice facility. Great location. Good breakfast! My room was nicely renovated. The continental breakfast was good and clean. We hope to visit again when the weather is warmer. The pool areas looked bery nice
Just a leisure trip to enjoy the holiday festivities in the mountains. This was our first time to stay at this Best Western. We will definitely be returning to this location. Room and grounds were very well kept and staff was helpful and friendly.
Very spacious room, good breakfast, working on charging from powdered eggs and adding good southern bacon friendly professional staff from front desk to housekeeping.. we wanted stay in Pigeon Forge as did as young boy yet be at least 40 from adult fun in Cherokee NC "Harrahs Casino"
Been coming here for at least 15 years with my son after an ugly divorce. This was our safe place to get away from alot of ugly things. I remarried, and this became our family safe place. We have made so many happy memories here through the years. As with everything else in the world, over the last few years, prices to stay here have went from around $100 a night to around $175 or more per night. The maids have become mean and will rush you out if you don't ask for a late check-out at the front desk. We still try to come here because of all the memories. This weekend we are here for some Christmas shopping and just re-connecting with each other from all of our hectic schedules. We had a few issues with our first room , we were given another one, we had an issue with our second , but we were able to get help at the front desk. Me and my son had decided to go down and try to catch up talking since we were able to get a room where the indoor pool is, plus give my wife and daughter a little private time to get ready for bed. The security guy came by and told us it was 1030 and the pool was closed , which was fine. We got out and was drying off and found a table in the corner where we could quietly relax and talk a little but. The security guy then came over and told us we could t be here. I told him we were staying her and staying inside where the pool area was. He then said we couldn't be in the area because he's had issues with keg parties and people doing g cannon balls and yelling and keeping everyone awake. So he made us go into our room. I didn't speak back to him , nor did I get smart or raise my voice. It's just disheartening to be treated like this after all the good memories here. Sadly , this will probably be our last stay here. Other near by places have lower prices now , air bnb has competitive prices in condos and not much more money for cabin rentals, including the cleaning fee. Hopefully, things will get better at this location in the future. If it wasn't so late tonight, I would ask for a refund and go to another location.
Nice, friendly staff at front desk. The room was surprisingly spacious. Everything was clean and fresh. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and a big variety. Not just dry cereal but also a hot breakfast as well. Large dining area. Breakfast time was 6:00 am to 10:00 am. We were glad we could sleep in some and still have breakfast. I highly recommend this place. You won't be sorry.
Our room was in the interior of the indoor pool area. The room was very spacious and clean with an electric fireplace. Although too chilly, we had our own outdoor “balcony” (on first floor) . Our door opened into the indoor pool area and although we could hear people in the pool, we didn't care. We absolutely loved this room and will request it on our next trip (room 170). Front desk staff were awesome and it was great that we were given a choice of floor.
Room had vinyl floors and were quite cold in the winter. sink had water saver on and small water jets spray all over your clothes. Housekeeping shouldn't scream at each other early in the morning as it will certainly wake every one up.
Check in was a breeze. The desk clerks were very nice and polite. The room was amazing, spacious and clean. The continental breakfast was really good with quite a variety and was available from 6:00 am to 10:00 am. If we're ever back up that way in Pigeon Forge we will definitely stay here again.
We stumbled on this hotel on one of our many trips to Pigeon forge. and now we never book rooms anywhere else. The rooms are always clean and the staff friendly. There are many choices of places to stay on the Parkway, but this is our happy place.
The negative : When we arrived to the hotel the bathroom sink was completely filled with water with gross stuff floating around. Very noisy if you're a light sleeper Did we eggs in door of restroom Remodel was very poor. Crack and peeling paint. Paint on ceiling. Toilet was very short and had to hold handle down to flush all the way. Bed is hard There has been push for tips. Leaving towel designs on bed with envelope for tips. Yet, room has been halfway tidy.
Had a quick overnight stay at Best Western Plaza Inn in Pigeon Forge. Greeted warmly by front desk staff, room was warm & clean. Very comfortable bed and pillows & hot shower. Indoor pool looked nice but we couldn't use it (due to time). Breakfast was good, had many options, eggs, sausage, waffles, biscuits, gravy, yogurt, cereal, toast, bagels, etc... I would definitely stay again if traveling in the area.
Our room was clean and front desk staff answered question. Friendliness not included. If you want your money to go toward the things to do in town this is adequate. Breakfast was less than average but there was food to eat.
Great place for a quick getaway with friends. Centrally located (taking a left out of the hotel is a bit tricky though as the Parkway is busy). Enjoyed breakfast and well-kept grounds. Had a very nice room with a fireplace (not heat emitting) and a balcony with river view. Indoor spa was also great to have on a cool, fall night.
My husband & I stayed here for a few days this past week. Check in at the front desk went well & the employees were friendly. Our room was spotlessly clean & comfy. We were on the second floor and had a room with a king size bed. The continental breakfast served every morning was hot & delicious and the employees did a great job making sure the dining area was clean & tidy. We had a good time during our trip to the Smoky Mountains until the day I fell at this hotel (11/11/22) The manager here (Michael) didn't seem to care too much that I had fallen down the ramp that you go up and down between the ground level and the second floor. I skinned up my elbow terribly and suffered injury to my left ankle and my left knee (I've had knee replacements on both knees) This is a nice hotel and they are doing everything right in regards to cleanliness and prompt attentive service that is, until you get hurt on their property then they'll show you how little they care! I went straight to the office to report this incident and I got a couple of "Oh I'm so sorrys" then the manager handed me one of the little $3 travel size bandage and alcohol pad kits to clean my skinned up elbow with and he told me he'd fill out an accident report and that was it. "Warning slippery floor" signs were put up at the top of the ramp and the bottom of the ramp after reporting my fall to the front office however, the next morning the signs were gone. There was never any follow-up contact from this manager or anyone else at the hotel or Best Western company regarding my injuries or follow up inquiries regarding this alleged accident report. Very disappointing!
Very clean and convenient with a great breakfast. Very large parking lot with back access to the Old Mill District and transit parking lot so you don't have to drive on the Parkway. Walking distance to Dolly's Stampede. Nothing to complain about. We will return to this hotel on future trips to Pigeon Forge.
This property will be staying at every time I visit Gaithersburg. The place is located in a easy spot to get to, clean, comfortable bed, but my bed is a piece of heaven but for a hotel not bad. And free breakfast.
Nothing wrong with this hotel. Located near good restaurants. Clean, comfortable with the microwave, refrigerator, beds and shower all working well. Heat and cooler systems work fine. Mattresses are not saggy and the bedding feels good.
rooms are clean and breakfast variety of food are good. hotels can use more parking area. if u r out in town, make sure you can back in your room no later than 9 or you will have a hard time fiding a place to park
We were pleasantly surprised with the location, size of room and cleanliness of the hotel at a great price too. It was close to restaurants, shopping, and just minutes away from Gatlinburg and hiking trails.
The only turn off was the odor in the room, we left the bathroom exhaust fan on and the air conditioner on high to deal with the odor. The air conditioner was very noisy, other than that everything else was fine.
This was one of the best hotels I stayed at during a 2 week trip when driving across 8 different states. Spotless room and the room smelled nice! The beds were large, comfortable, and clean. The bathroom was clean. The shower worked well with plenty of pressure and hot water. The room was inviting and spacious. The parking lot was safe and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did not get to try the breakfast because we slept in. They did have a laundry area. I also liked that the outside stairs was actually a ramp going up to the 2nd and 3rd floor. I appreciate the hotel having this ramp for guests with disabilities or that have difficultly climbing stairs. It made it easy to carry out bags up. It's located on the parkway in a convenient area. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!
We stayed for a family vacation. The indoor pool and spa was enjoyable. The rooms were clean and the HVAC worked well. Breakfast was nice and hot and we enjoyed making our own waffles. Would come back again!
Booked family suite by phone and on arrival was informed the type room I reserved did not exist. Was told on phone and on my confirmation that the room came equipped with jacuzzi. Also on phone was told it had a balcony. Upon arrival I was given a family room with one window which faced a hallway, no jacuzzi, no balcony. Manager very apologetic and I was given a 15% discount on this room. However, discount did not alleviate the disappointment I felt in not being able to enjoy my three day stay.
Very smelly (mold, musty, disgusting) initial room. Charlie was amazing at the front desk and got us moved to a different room. Many other guests mentioned the same thing. The complimentary breakfast food was less than a acceptable. The area where we ate was disgusting. Wall to wall people and poorly organized.
Wonderful service, great breakfast, beautiful rooms. We were very pleased with the accommodations! The location is close to the strip in Pigeon Forge, but far enough away to be private and semi quiet! Perfect for family time!
Nice comfort and good location Lobby and staff excellent, Employees were very friendly and professional. We had issues with our first room the first night. I brought it to the attention of the staff employee and she said she hadn't heard of any previous complaints before. After the second night I requested to be moved to another room. The gentleman said no problem and gave us a great room and location. He was very nice and professional and really cared about our stay. Nice Breakfast area but get there early or you'll just get the leftovers.
Great Place very clean staff was nice room was very clean great area close to a lot of things. Great Stay with Family Breakfast was great and a lot to choose from . Great indoor pool lots of room, hot tub.
Have been staying at Best Western Plaza Inn for 13 years now.My family and I just love staying here .Staff is wonderful ,rooms has always been clean, beds are very comfortable and there breakfast is good.. See ya next year!!!
Presently surprised, I booked this to use points at Best Western. We will definitely stay here again. The rooms are big and this is the cleanest place we've stayed in Pigeon Forge we have been coming here over 35 years. The indoor pool was very nice, plus they have 2 outdoor pools. The staff awesome and very friendly. We didn't do the breakfast because we have favorite places to eat in the area.
We stayed at this location without any notice or booking. We were very pleased with our accommodations, service & price. We didn't have any bath towels in our room when we arrived, but I contacted the front desk & they had several fresh towels delivered to our room within a very short period of time. Great Job.
This was an updated attractive open corridor hotel right on the Pigeon Forge Parkway with a back entrance to avoid all the traffic hassles. They had and elevator, indoor pool & hot tub, outdoor pool & hot tub. Separate breakfast building. Updated room with extra outlets and USB ports. Excellent condition of the room with extra attention from the cleaning staff. Lawn service worked the grounds every day. Normal size room with king bed, table and chairs, microwave and mini frig. Stayed a week and will go back again.
Room was clean and comfortable. Parking was adequate. Breakfast was hot and good. Location was good. Nothing was lacking. Room was comfortable and quiet. Would definitely recommend and consider staying there again.
Very friendly staff at check in. Room very clean. Breakfast was the best we had in a two week journey. Price was excellent . Location right on the parkway. Highly recommend for price, location, breakfast, staff and cleanliness………………………..
Well worth the money. Bed slept great, room was clean, bathroom was very nice and clean, Everywhere, inside and out, was clean. Staff was busy and doing a great job. Food was great, staff kept everything clean, food replenished. Parking lot and sidewalks were kept clean. Great experience!
Would stay here again. Although, the breakfast, in our opinion, needed a little more variety, and was not very appetizing. Room was clean, and bed's very comfortable. Did not use pools, but they looked well-kept and clean.
I had a great stay with my family. Everything was nice and clean and easily accessible. Good beds. Very comfortable and included everything we needed and our rooms were even ready earlier than expected.
Love the location and the rooms. We have stayed here multiple times and keep coming back! We had rooms facing the parkway this time, great view from the balcony, just a little noisy with the traffic if you are on the balcony.
We always stay here when in town. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The multiple pools are nice. We love the place. I was a little disappointed in what looked like mold around the top of the shower. Otherwise, it was great as always!
It's not often that you can say someone takes pride in their property but that was evident from the moment we pulled onto the parking lot at this location. The room was spotless, very clean. Plenty of parking. Lots of employees cleaning the parking lot and doing the lawn work. Breakfast was excellent. I could have stayed somewhere else and spent 2 or 3 times as much for a room and not had a room as nice as what I had at the Best Western Plaza. I will definitely stay here again.
Overall the motel was perfect. It was very costly, more than the others but they were the only one that had a room. Everything worked, A/C perfect, Internet, Cleanliness all perfect. We will stay again
The room was very large, very clean. I was very pleased with the overall experience. The only problem was the parking with a full hotel. The breakfast was not the best and they could improve on the coffee!!
I had left some toiletries in my room on check out. Some were specifically for skin /hair disorders. I totally own it was my fault I left them, but why would housekeeping not put in lost and found and have the office contact the person who occupied the room? Really, why would you-housekeeping- want to keep my new product I bought for the trip? Karma is not good and what goes around comes around.
Best Western Plaza Inn Pigeon Forge will be my hotel of choice to stay in while visiting! I was very satisfied with the staff, cleanliness of the room and the hot breakfast they served. The WiFi was an added plus with fast speed and great connection. They have 3 pools located around the property. The indoor pool was cold unfortunately so we didn't get to swim since we were staying towards the end of august and it hadn't been to hot out to warm the outdoor pool water up. The beds were comfy and no odors to the room. We were happy to find out that the Dolly Partons Dixie Stampede was next door and we walked to our dinner show!
This Hotel exceeded our expectations. It was extremely convenient to all the town has to offer. The quality was exceptional with no complaints at all. Breakfast was amazing, but you definitely want to get there early before the crowds. Even when it is busy, the staff keeps everything stocked as quickly as possible. We had no major issues over our 7 day stay. We were even taken care of for a slight inconvenience. I packed everything imaginable, but not bandaids. They even provided those when requested! Our daughter was able to connect in order to do her homework assignments with no internet issues. Everything was just perfect. We actually cancelled our original reservation elsewhere because the prices here were better and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality we received!
Hotel was very convenient to all attractions but the traffic on the weekends is horrendous. The pool was nice. Did not get to use the indoor pool but it looked nice. Rooms were roomy and bed was comfortable, cleaning staff was nice but I had an issue with ants, We had to throw out our food. We did let staff know but nothing happened. I bought ant spray but didn't help they just moved to another area.
We found this hotel several years ago. We were impressed with the staff. The continental breakfast is always good and we have made friends with the staff. The hotel is older but they keep it clean and we feel at home. It's close to and easy access to places we go to. It's got the balcony off the room I enjoy early morning. Quiet sleeping.
My wife and I have stayed at this hotel two years running and would stay again for sure. My brother and his wife traveled to the area at the same time and were not happy wlth the hotel they selected. Seen our room and facilities, checked out of their room and checked into our hotel. Spotless clean and a great breakfast. Great value for this hotel.
I cannot recommend this place enough! Me and my boyfriend went down to this hotel for a week to hangout in the Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area. First for starters the location was wonderful right in the middle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg - so getting up and down the parkway and the Gatlinburg strip was a breeze! Next the service -- it was awesome! We arrived hours later than the 4 pm check in time and there were no problems, the service desk made it an easy transition for us to navigate to our hotel from our long 16 hour drive. And the room - just wow! I heard mixed reviews before book this stay but this was the cleanest and biggest hotel room I've ever been in - no doubt. It was spacious - not a speck of dirty - with great views of the pool, mountains, and parkway! I suggest this hotel to couples and families - as the pool - which we used 2-3 times was also immaculate !
Very nice hotel, clean and well taking care of. Staff was friendly, the room was nice and bed was comfy. The breakfast was good decent selection. Both outdoor pools was nice didn't use the indoor but it looked nice. I definitely stay again.
Close to the sites. Right next door to the Dixie land Stampede. Two pools and very comfortable beds. The staff was pleasant and helpful with recommendations on local activities. Breakfast was varied and tastefully arranged.
Room was very large and clean! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice pool but we didn't bring our suits. Would definitely stay there again Breakfast was really nice with a wide variety of cold n hot foods including make your own waffles which was delicious!
Check in process was quick and easy. Staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Rooms were clean and the maid service was consistent. Clean bedding, towels, trash taken out and amenities restocked daily. Parking was difficult at times when the hotel was really busy. The indoor pool had algae that needs to be cleaned better. Outdoor pool in front slipped getting out of hot tub, a step would be great. Overall the price and what you got was worth it.
Clean rooms. Helpful staff. Very large motel with lots of guests. Overcrowded swimming pools. Overcrowded breakfast area. Parking lot was packed with little space left if you went out and got back late. Unattended children divebombing other guests in the pool with no supervision. Many older guests left the pool area after only a few minutes due to the unruly environment.
Good value and clean rooms. The rooms do need to be upgraded with USB ports(none in our room) and the breakfast could definitely improve quality wise. Other than that, the rooms and pools were clean. Would stay there again in the future.
We planned a short vacation with our daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandkids and had not been to Pigeon Forge in 20 years, so we were not sure where to stay. But after searching on Trip Advisor, we decided to book at the Best Western Plaza Inn because of the Terrific reviews! And, we were not disappointed! We booked two rooms (the Townhouse room had 3 queens beds, so the grandkids could have their own bed), and our king bed room with walk-in shower. Everything was Excellent!! Rooms were clean and quiet, the free buffet breakfast was good, and the staff was Very kind and friendly!! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Pigeon Forge!!
I stay here almost every time I visit Pigeon Forge. The access to the LeConte Center is great. There are some front desk staff who have been there for several years which tells me that management is caring. That reflects in how guests are treated. I've never had a truly bad experience staying there.
Our stay was pretty good. We did have a crazy guest that went nuts one evening who was loud and cursing. The cops had to be called because she was so belligerent. This of course is not the hotels fault but I think this family should immediately been removed as this younger lady was cursing at other hotel guests. Room was a adequate. The air conditioning wasn't the best but we didn't burn up either. Pools were very nice and breakfast was okay for a free breakfast. Extremely close to Dollywood which was nice. It's a pretty big hotel. Staff was very nice.
We stayed in a room with a balcony face in the river. It was very spacious and peaceful. The staff were very helpful and polite. The breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again during our next day and pigeon forge.
Clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Quiet. Ice on each floor. Clean room. Breakfast had a nice selection, but basic. Very relaxing. Great location; close to The Island, Dollywood, Gatlinburg access. We will stay here again, and again!
We stay at this hotel at least once a season when we visit the mountains. We love having a hotel that we know is consistent every time we visit. With staying so often, we have experienced normal issues such as something breaking/not working correctly. The difference with this hotel is every time time we have faced an issue, it has been handled promptly and with a smile. You can't beat this hotel and the team that oversees it. It's truly the best! We love that it feels secluded from everything yet is still right in the heart of the action between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Having two entrances to the hotel makes it easy for us to hit a backroad to avoid traffic when necessary. The rooms are spacious and we always get a wonderful night's sleep in the beds. Just a few things we love about this hotel!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff was very hardworking and maintained a positive attitude throughout our entire stay. Plan your trip ahead of time because there is so much to do it can become very overwhelming. We enjoyed the shuttle but parking was easy at the hotel. The breakfast was good for the value and it saved us money to eat at the hotel.
My favorite. Well maintained hotel with great swimming pools and rooms. The handicapped rooms are also nice. Great location near everything I like in Pigeon Forge. Decent rates. Breakfast is fresh served and attended by a nice lady.
This is a nice, clean, and good location for Smoky Mountain NP. Lots of restaurants near by. The staffs are caring, and helpful. The manager was so kind to pack us breakfast to go because we have to leave early for our hiking trip.
We had an issue with internet in our first room, but the staff quickly moved us to another UPGRADED room for no additional cost, in order to accommodate us. The pool is very relaxing and clean. The breakfast was fresh and the staff was friendly. The location is right in the middle of the Pigeon Forge strip. No longer than a 5 minute drive to anything. For the price, we would DEFINITELY stay here again.
The staff was friendly. Breakfast had a decent variety of items, try to get there before 9:30 because things run out. There is 3 pools, 2 hot tubs they were all clean and clear. The rooms were clean and maintained.
This was a great place to stay. It had clean rooms, 3 pools (2 outside and one indoor), a complete breakfast, laundry facility, and very kind and helpful staff. It is close to Dollywood and The Island.
If you need a good family hotel with continental breakfast this is your place. The Best western plaza inn offers 3 pools, continental breakfast, clean rooms furnished nicely. It is located on the east end of the parkway in pigeon forge close to some great restaurants. It was economical compared to other similar hotels in the area. Highly recommend.
For a pigeon forge 2.5 star hotel, we weren't sure what to expect, but it was as clean, if not cleaner, than a 3.5 star hotel. It was an excellent location and the staff was efficient and friendly. Would definitely stay again. The rooms were very large, also.
The refrigerator and microwave in our room were very convenient. 2 outdoor pools and 1 indoor pool. It was very clean with great shower water pressure. Buffet breakfast was awesome! Would have given 5 stars but 2 of our outlets in guest room did not work so could only use 1 lamp.
Everyone of the employees were very friendly room real clean only thing I would tell you to bring your own pillows from home there's will make your neck hurt very good location and they have choices of pools they have two outside one inside
The rooms where a little out dated. The cable was out for a while. Breakfast was good.The 3 pools was good but the small ones needed to be clean. The pool time was great. Parking was hard some nights you had to park away from your building.
Poorly set up for seniors or handicapped. Handicapped parking only at front of hotel. No elevators must use ramps to second floor laundry. Soap machine empty and handicapped senior is told to walk down the ramp & across the large area to office to get some. Breakfast was typical hotel breakfast. Nice places inside & out to eat. Front desk had difficulty locating our reservations No recognition as rewards members.
Overall a good choice. Breakfast is great the food was hot and ready and there were many options. The rooms and updated and nice layout, beds not the most comfortable, room floors didn't appear dirty but definitely needed cleaning. The indoor pool is nice we didn't visit the outdoor personally. I did request a roll away bed and was told there were none so that was inconvenient.
First glance didn't notice anything. Woke up at 1am to use the bathroom. Flipped on the light and roaches all over the floor, tub and back of toilet! If my 2 year old wouldn't have been asleep, we'd have left sooner than we did! I demanded a refund and left!
Staff were very friendly and a great help. Love the big rooms, very clean, and love that there are no carpets. Three pools to choose from. Breakfast was good. Easy to get to the trolley stop or walk to many things. See you all again. Thank you for all you hard work.
We stayed here on a Saturday evening in June. The room was clean and we had a suite and it was great. Here are my tips. DO NOT stay by the indoor pool. It is extremely loud and and although the time of closure is 10pm that was not enforced. They do have hot tubs but they need some maintenance. The water was barely warm on the inside hot tub. The outside pool up front was fabulous. We didn't venture over to the other one.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was hot and delicious everyday and the staff made sure the breakfast bar remained stocked. Using the back entrance made it easier to avoid most of the traffic. We will definitely return
I typically do not stay in motel style rooms but this looked and felt very safe. Since it was rated so high and with a great mid week price, we decided to book here. They even gave us an option to which floor we preferred which can be important to some. The room smelled very clean. The flooring was vinyl and not carpet which I prefer. The bathroom had a great shower head with great water pressure. My son is 6'4 and it was plenty tall enough for him. None of us had complaints about the beds. The ice machine was easy to find with plenty of ice. We did not get to enjoy the pools or the breakfast. I travel a lot and stay in mostly large chain hotels but this motel was better than some that are twice the cost. Highly recommend for this price point!
We have stayed at you facility numerous times. The staff have always been helpful. The rooms are clean and up to date. Love the free breakfast. The food is tasteful and your dining staff go all out to meet our needs. Also the price for our stay is reasonable. We will stay at your hotel again in the near future. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful property, something for everyone. Clean and neat. Nice breakfast bar. Room was clean and large ( could have used one soft chair to set in ). We had an accessible room that was right next to the elevator.
The elevator ride is very scary. It has a sounding pound as you go up or down. My grandchildren were terrified. I'm surprised it passed inspection. The furniture was dirty. We had to get sheets to put over. The bedroom has no air floor from the main part of the suite. It got very hot. So one room was hot and one room was cold. The bathrooms were big and so nice as well as the kitchen. The indoor pool and hot tub was a win for my family.
It was good, except when the cleaning people were getting ready to clean rooms, it seems they always gathered right outside our door and talked . I know they need a place to start off with cleaning, but don't like that it was right outside our room.Cleaning p
This is your average budget hotel. The property is dated with some cosmetic upgrades but lacks functional improvements (i.e. doors stick due to new latches, mattresses are worn out, flooring uneven, elevator lunges a bit, and the fire doors in the stairwell stick shut and require force to open) Front desk staff friendliness and responsiveness was intermittent during the limited encounters I had. Breakfast Staff consistently courteous and helpful, but the food choices are average and consistent.
Very clean rooms and facility with very professional staff. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good but was the same meal every morning. A little variety might go a long way in turning a 9.5 rating into a 10. We recommend this hotel and in fact have already recommended it to some of our friends who are going to visit the area later in the year.
Rooms were definitely redone. Our stay was one night while on the road. Staff was very friendly and rooms clean and fresh. The location is close to Dollywood, restaurants and shops. The nightly rate was great for a well known chain.
The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. We had a balcony view of the mountains that made the stay even more enjoyable. The hotel was in driving distance of many attractions we were interested in. My family really enjoyed The Island and Titanic Museum.
The room was average. The hotel is chopped up so difficult to navigate. Never did find the indoor pool. Rooms were cleaned daily however toilet paper wasn't when needed. The location was good for Dollywood.
The stay here was great for our honeymoon. We really enjoyed the jacuzzi in the room and the fire place added romance. It was quiet and cozy. The beds were in excellent condition with plenty of pillows. The breakfast was a full, sit down and eat with plenty of seating. I will definitely recommend to friends and family
This is an average hotel, nothing more. If I was returning to Pigeon Forge, I would choose another hotel. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful and they were best part of the hotel. The room was clean enough. Beds and pillows were ok in comfort. The outdoor pool was nice. Didn't use the indoor pool. The breakfast was ok. The eggs were cold and tasted like cardboard. Not many options at all. Definitely had much much better continental breakfast. Nothing majorly negative to say but not worth returning here either.
This hotel was located in the perfect place for us . Just a very short walk over to the Dixie Stampede. The entrance to Dollywood was just down the road a small distance if your plan is to visit there . The room was very nice with a private balcony, ours was towards the road traffic, which I enjoyed watching that . Also it was above the indoor pool . The noise level was not bad at all . Very clean , comfortable, great staff . Parking was not an issue. Great , included, breakfast. Best Western is always our “ go too “ . Pricing was reasonable especially for the location!
It has been a few years since we stayed here. It sure isn't as clean as I remembered. The bed was uncomfortable and make a strange squeaking rattle every time we got our of bed. The floors were sticky. The location and parking is good. There are too many cringe factors for this motel. I hope it improves. It was one of our favorite places to stay in Pigeon Forge.
We've stayed here for years. Everyone makes you feel at home. The property is taking care of and the rooms are clean and spacious. Breakfast is good and the pools are fabulous. It's close to attractions but quiet enough to catch up on rest after a long day.
We enjoyed our stay! Everyone was very friendly. The cleaning staff was great and left our children's stuffed animals on the bed each day, which was a nice touch! The indoor pool was a great addition for the evening when it was too cool to be outside. Overall price was great! Great location.
Spent 6 nights in April. Had a great stay. Rooms very clean. Pools were super clean and area kept up. Beds very comfortable. Breakfast was adequate and was same each day. Every single employee was kind and helpful. We will definitely return when in the area again.
Great place to stay. Very clean and breakfast was exceptional. Pools were clean and had 3 to choose from. Staff was very friendly. Several restaurants right across the street. Great area to stay in and location is good.
My husband and I have stayed at the BW Plaza Inn several times over the past years with our kids and this time we were alone. The room was excellent and clean, and the staff were amazing and friendly!
We were very pleased with this hotel. It was very clean. The staff friendly and professional. The indoor pool was awesome and the breakfast phenomenal. It is within walking distance of restaurants and several attractions. We will be staying there again.
Totally enjoyed our 4 day stay. Clean rooms. Clean continental breakfast area staff offered any help we needed for attractions and events that were going on that week extra blankets towels etc totally enjoyed
Very clean, friendly staff, love staying here. William definitely be back. Indoor & outdoor pool/hot tub areas were awesome! Family friendly. Good location. Convenient to everything. Plan to yay here next time we're in the area.
We always stay here and it's always great, clean ans nice staff. They have a very nice indoor pool area and 2 outside pools, they also serve hot breakfast every morning... gravy, biscuits, bacon,eggs and they have a cute little bear shaped waffle maker they the kids loved!
Total over the top rating. The hotel Staff, Amazing, cleanliness and the staff always there if you need anything. Food provided at the morning breakfast is very good and kept fresh and warm. Thank you for all you do to make our stay the BEST - Renee' Sharp, Andersonville, TN
This hotel exceeded my expectations. The price was great which made me hesitant compared to what the others were charging. However, the stay was great. They offered breakfast with plenty of hot and cold options. The room, pool and breakfast area was very clean. It was also in a good location. I will be returning to this hotel again for my next stay!!
clean rooms, great staff, kid friendly, loved both pools. Will definitely visit again. I liked the larger rooms, 2 queens, 1 full, kitchen - this room gave us plenty of space. It was close to other fun things to do.
We spent 6 nights at this hotel last summer. This hotel is huge and has several different sections to the hotel. They had plenty of parking but it was always packed. With that being said we never had to park too far from our room. We may have been in an older section of the hotel as the room seemed run down and needed to be upgraded. It was clean but not up to date. We did not get housekeeping during our visit so when we occasionally ran out of soap or shampoo we went to the front desk and they gladly gave us new stuff. The table in our room was small and very wobbly, fortunately we were able to temporarily fix it by tightening the screw holding one of the legs. We also had a slow drain which I am assuming was due to hair being stuck in the drain. We did mention this to the hotel but did so only when we checked out so not sure of it eventually got taken care of or not. We did have small garbage bins so when we checked out they were over flowing. Breakfast was daily in a separate building on the premise. The breakfast room was way too small for all of the guests. They even had outside seating and that was always full too. Every single day they had the same exact things. No deviation for the entire 6 days. I would have been happy if they could have changed out the sausage patties for bacon or mini cheese omelettes for the cardboard scrambled eggs. I am guessing this is why when we checked in we were given a ticket to eat at a restaurant for a minimal charge. We didn't use that option as it was much more convenient to stay on premise and eat the same thing over and over. They do have 3 different pools but we were not on the property long enough during the day/evening to utilize them. The road out front is an extremely busy road and it is hard to turn left. Good luck trying to turn right too. This is why I noticed that a lot of people were using the road behind the hotel, but at times it could be bad too. All in all it was a nice value for what we received and we would probably stay here again. I just hope that with covid now nearly gone they spruce up their breakfast.
Bathtub had hairs and black/brown smears on the shower walls. Had to go buy disinfectant spray to clean it myself. The pillows are small square pillows in regular sized pillow cases. The check in took about 30 minutes because Expedia didn't send the request for one of the rooms I had reserved.
Nice comfortable room. Staff was wonderful. Location was near many places within walking distance. Their breakfast nook inside and in the outside was nice even though we didn't eat there. It looked like a good variety of items.
This is our go to hotel for Pigeon Forge. It's in a convenient location. It is always great accommodations, very clean and comfortable. 3 pools to select from. Great morning breakfast. Friendly staff. Great place to stay
Great breakfast & Location to the Smokey Mountains Motel had 3 pools to choose from and both indoor and outdoor were very comfortable. The staff was very helpful. We received fresh towels daily. I would greatly recommend.
The staff at this location were as welcoming as the mountains at this well maintained property. I would recommend this hotel for anyone or any family wanting to spend time in Pigeon Forge TN. The property is well maintained and has very nice heated indoor and outdoor pools. The breakfast was good. This location was close to all that the area has to offer in the way of entertainment, mountain views and great food.
Great hotel! Manager was awesome! Perfect stop on the way to Disney! Hotel was clean, pool was open and very nice, very quiet, relaxing evening. Front desk manager was extremely helpful with dinner spots close, took her time helping me with twin 10 year old boys!
We didn't make reservations but found this driving by. I was very pleased with the cleanliness and amenities. The rooms were very clean and the breakfast was good. All of the staff was very nice and accommodating.
King Room with Fireplace and Jacuzzi tub. Large, very clean room with balcony and nice view of creek. We were very satisfied and happy with our room and all services. Staff were great and Breakfast was hot, fresh and delicious. Would 100% stay again and highly recommend!!
One bed was a nice mattress that was new the other bed was old flat slept like a board and there was a tear in a fitted sheet right in the middle of the bed which is nasty. The toilet sits llow ike for a kid so if you're older you do not want to stay here it rocked. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling where the shower was. The carpet is worn.
Clean and comfortable hotel that is kept up nicely. Everything works. Free breakfast is the usual hotel fare. Location is very convenient. Presently our favorite go-to hotel for a quick get-away near the Smoky Mountains.
We chose to stay here for 3 nights due to the location and given we are BW Diamond members (so usually try and stay at BW to collect some additional points). Pros: Room was very clean and spacious. Even had an electric fireplace which was nice ambiance since it was chilly weather. Bed was comfortable (if you like a slightly firmer bed, which I do). Great location if you prefer to be at the end of the strip closest to Gatlinburg. We didn't eat breakfast, and only had coffee, but the selections looked to be adequate for what you would expect for a complimentary breakfast (eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, waffle maker, etc.) Very friendly ladies at the desk when we arrived for check-in. Room was stocked with plenty of extra towels, soap, etc. given daily housekeeping is not offered due to COVID (which is fine with me). Cons: Rooms was very noisy. We probably should have requested to be moved after the first night, but toughed it out. We were on the third floor facing the parkway parking lot and immediately next to the stair well. You could practically hear every foot step, the running, luggage wheeling down the concrete exterior corridors, conversations, and cars beeping when being locked remotely. Left the a/c on constant fan to try and drown it out a bit, but it didn't't work. I tossed and turned every night. I don't actually know whether moving would have made much of a difference, but it seemed like the back of the building facing River Rd. was quieter (if you can request that at check-in). Our last night was a little better, since the hotel seemed to have cleared out a bit and was less busy. The noise level and interrupted sleep are the only reasons I would not stay here again. Maybe I am just too light a sleeper. If you are a very deep sleeper, you may be okay.
I booked a room for mine and my wife's anniversary and we wanted an indoor heated pool and hot tub. For a cold month, the pool was cold and the hot tub was barely warm. With a horrible stay, my weekend wasn't as relaxing as it should've been. I know I won't stay in this hotel, but I'm not sure if I'll stay in any Best Western after this visit.
We got to the hotel and booked three rooms for the six of us, the first room the door would not open and maintenance could not open it either so we had to get another room. Next room smelled like cigarette smoke, so we had to get another room for that one also. The third room had a hole in the doorframe which allowed bugs from outside to enter. The safety chain on the door had been replaced at least 5 times from multiple holes where the screws had been. It looked like it had been knocked out several times. All the door had dents in them and the shower water was cold and indoor pool was disgusting. The only positive thing was that the staff was very polite about the situations.
The whole reason for staying was the indoor pool. It was cold and not cleaned properly. My 5yr old had a rash on legs after getting out of pool. The room was not bad. I would not recommend staying here for the indoor pool.
We enjoyed the stay customer service was great from checking in till check out..Rooms was clean and fully stocked.. Pool was just colder than previous times staying here ..But did use the hot tub. definitely recommend
I love Best Western , there accommodations are the best no matter where I have stayed , Tennessee, Montana, Wyoming...Excellent service no matter where I have stayed and I always look forward to staying at Best Western.
While the room was clean and quiet, the bed was hard, the pillows were uncomfortable and the shower did not produce any hot water. Breakfast was pretty bland and cold. I would not recommend staying at this particular hotel when there are so many other choices around.
The first time I stayed at this hotel I'd had a rough time with a different hotel a few minutes away. I called this hotel and explained my situation. They offered me one of their available rooms at a discounted rate which I was thankful for! The staff was very kind. This past stay was just the same. The staff at check in was very friendly. The room was clean. The staff who helped me book the room got me the adjoining rooms I'd requested and the third room was as close as possible!
Was very pleased with every aspect of the room. Extremely clean room and comfortable beds. Great shower. Excellent value especially during the weekdays. Family had stayed their before and we were just as impressed as they had been. Right next to Dixie Stampede.
Location was great and a short distance to the island. We were able to drive the back roads to stay out of the main traffic. Our room was the river view which was very nice and peaceful. In the summer time the River view would be great since it is close to the outdoor pool. In the winter time I think a room closer to the pool would be better. Friendly staff
Indoor Pool and Breakfast were great! Outdoor pools looks very nice too if it were warm outside. Service at front desk was very nice and got a free upgrade. Would def stay again. The location was in middle of everything and short drive to Gatlinburg
Awesome place to stay, Great rate, Great location. Breakfast was good and on time. Room was by the indoor pool and hot tub was wonderful. Only drawback was the noise at the pool in the evening. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
I stayed at the Bestwestern Plaza Inn twice this year and loved it. From the front desk employees to the room and location, could not say anything bad about any of them. Definitely will be back. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love the room size, it is a hotel room, but a homey comfort to it. Bed was comfortable, love the continuous fan option on AC unit.....HUGE shower with pretty good water pressure too. Beautiful laminate flooring and decent size refrigerator and microwave came in handy. TV size is adequate not large, but not tee tiny either. Its my number one choice for a night or two away from my own home sweet home : ))
Clean and spacious rooms. No problems. Excellent location near good restaurants. Decent walking trails in town for morning exercisers. River is across the road from the back of the hotel. Decent pricing.
The overall stay was excellent, yes I did see room for improvement but I alway's do. I am not a complainer by no means but if asked I will give my opinion. I really had no complaints about the room or staff, I do have a complaints about the indoor pool being so cold. It wasn't a fun experience for us. Other than the pool being as cold as ice it was a great stay!
Check in was quick and the man was polite. I had room # 102. The room was spotless and looked just like what they have in their pictures. Everything including the carpet looked nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. Heater was extremely noisy and woke me up every time it kicked on. I finally just turned it off and then I got some sleep. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and a bunch of other stuff. Very good except the sausage was way overcooked. The room was priced lower than most in the area and was better than any place that I have stayed in the area in the past. Thank you Best Western Plaza for a very nice stay.
I booked this hotel based upon reviews and was pleasantly surprised. The exterior door looks dated, but inside is nicely updated. We had a double queen room on the 2nd floor. Room seemed clean, beds were comfy enough. We had one lightbulb out over the vanity and during the night the bathroom light burned out. We reported it on our way to breakfast and when we returned, they had already been changed. The breakfast was decent and promptly opened at 7 (wish it was earlier). The location is on a busy road and was "busy season" but happy that it is located not far from the Gatlinburg bypass parkway which makes it convenient to get to the national park (the purpose of our visit) and not have to go thru the mess of Gatlinburg traffic. Very pleasant staff. Also, we accidentally left a freezer lunch bag in the refrigerator so I called and asked if housekeeping had found it. The next day, I got a call from the UPS store asking for details for where to send it. Unfortunately the cost to ship it back to me was more than the cost of the bag, so I had them donate it, but was thankful that they did find it. Great customer service!
The staff at this hotel are excellent. They answered all of our questions and provided everything that we needed. They were very polite. The room we stayed in was a 2 queen bed room and it was huge. It has a fireplace and a huge walk-in shower as well. Room was clean. Happy we chose to stay here.
The staff, Trish, in particular was wonderful. The rooms were large, clean and having a balcony was really nice. Will be staying here in the future for sure. The rooms were sanitized as well as the entire hotel. We did get to eat the breakfast, which was okay.
A very clean and semi updated hotel very close to local attractions. Breakfast was excellent and the front desk staff were kind and helpful. I enjoyed my stay very much and will visit again. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.
This was our first time staying at this Best Western and it did not disappoint! We stayed 5 night. Everything was great. The hotel is in a great location. You can walk to Dolly Parton's Stampede. The property is well kept and the rooms were very clean. The beds and pillows were comfy. The front desk was easy check in/check out. We were in the section of the hotel in the back overlooking the outdoor pool. It was quiet and the views of the mountain were excellent. Because of Covid, they are only changing out towels and trash, but that worked for us. They have a nice set up for breakfast. Eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, cereal, make your own pancakes and waffles, and yogurt. Looking forward to next year!
My family has stayed here many times. This was the only time we had a problem. Check in was a disaster, but due to the ineptitude of the staff. Since we had been there before, I was able to correct her. Otherwise OK considering Covid
The room was smelly the mattress was worn out with a dip in the middle and the toilet ran all night. We have stayed at this location a couple years ago and it was good so that is why we picked to stay again and it was awful, got no sleep because of the bed, will not stay at this location again. Front desk was very friendly upon check in but room was terrible.
This is our go to place. We always have an excellent experience here. Its very clean, neat, and up to date on everything. Customer service is always pleasant and very helpful! Over all 10/10!! Would recommend to anyone!
There are three Best Western hotels in Pigeon Forge, TN and I have been to them all but this is my choice if not staying in a cabin. The staff is great, rooms are clean, and three pools with one being indoors that allows you to have a room right at the water. We are at this hotel multiple times a year and they only let me down once but the GM was quick to contact me to address my issue.
My husband and I were very impressed with your facility. Employees were very friendly. The only issue we had was ants in the room, but we told the front desk when we checked out. We will be returning!
Nice place, clean rooms, very nice breakfast area and good selection of hot and cold food; we didn't use the pool but the outdoor pool area looked nice and it was tidy; I think there was also an indoor pool but we didn't visit that area; staff was friendly and the price was very reasonable; I would definitely recommend.
Great place to stay very clean and the staff was friendly would definitely stay here again. We had a King bed with jacuzzi the balcony view was of the river behind the hotel. Convenient to get in and out of on the strip will definitely stay here again
This is an old motel on the main drag but they do have a nice waterfall pool and most of the employees displayed good customer service with the exception of the woman who checked us in. We were on 2nd & 3rd floor. There's only one elevator, near the front desk - we were a hike from the front so we just used the stairs both days. The rooms were okay and really not bad for an old motel. The walk-in shower and bathroom countertop had been updated so it spruced the room up a lot. It seemed clean except for one long brown hair on bathroom floor which was probably the maids'. The bedding was old and we did not sleep very well either night. Another review described the pillows as hard sad little lumps and that turned out to be a very accurate description. The towels & wash rags seriously need to ALL be replaced. The lighting was dim especially in the bathroom. However their shampoos & soaps were very nice. The phone nor the bathroom fan worked in one of our rooms. The lady who checked us in didn't seem to care a lick and told me I'd have to report this to the morning crew. Luckily all the other front desk personnel seemed to at least act interested. The young lady who checked us out was very nice. The breakfast is good considering it was included - biscuits gravy sausage eggs waffles- but be sure to get there early if you want the biscuits & sausage to be soft/edible. Most of the clientele were seniors, so we fit right in. Overall For the money it wasn't too bad.
Enjoyed staying at the Best Western Plaza Inn! Staff was great, the breakfast was really good! The pools were nice and parking was perfect. Check in was fast and the staff was very helpful. Check out went very smooth and fast! Overall a great experience!
This was one of the cleanest and nicest hotel I have stayed in. The rooms were large. We had a connecting door for our rooms so we were still together. I highly recommend this hotel to all. Plenty of towels and the pools were clean.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! The staff are so courteous and helpful, rooms are extremely clean and neat, swimming pools are awesome. Very convenient location to all attractions. We have stayed many times and will stay many more!
This hotel is so nice and clean and the staff at the front office are friendly and helpful. They was able to help us get a room with balcony. Also helped us my linking is to a restaurant that has crab legs all you can eat. The breakfast is good sausage, gravy, biscuits and eggs. Cereal and milk also yogurt. They have nice indoor pool and an outdoor pool with hot tubs.
We loved this motel. Very friendly, very nice pools. Convenient to everything. 3 pools, jaccuzzie, hot tub. Excellent service, privacy respected. Nice breakfast.Very nice pool towels.Rooms are a nice size.
This location was great for my family. All our rooms were close together and the facility was very well kept. Great location right on the strip and close to everything else we planned to do/ or places to visit.
We have stayed at this Best Western on 2 different vacations and have not had any problems either time. We will probably stay there the next time we are in Pigeon Forge, TN. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Everyone is nice and helpful.
The room smelled so bad, the staff couldn't help at all bc they were so far away, they wouldn't bring anything requested. I sleep w a chair against the door for our safety! hard beds! doors face outside & anyone from the street can hang out outside your door!!!! I paid on booking.com or I would have nvr gone here! It is not what it looks like online!
Sandra is always so welcoming. Over the last three is so years I've had the pleasure of being greeted when I arrive. But, all of the staff that I have interacted with over the years have been very engaging, friendly and helpful.
This Best Western is clean and staff are friendly, Breakfast was good, Just wish they had bagels and cream cheese, Pool areas were nice and clean, Love the hot tubs, Kids loved the pools. Check in and check out were fast. Room was clean and was updated, beds were comfortable. Wifi was slow.
Loved the pool, breakfast was good (would have like to see the menu switch up a little day to day). We loved the pools. Great location, close to trolley stop and walking distance to several restaurants/shops.
Excellent place to stay. Great location, easy access. The place was very clean and well maintained. Great breakfast. The pool area was nice and there is more than one pool area. It was just a great place to stay !!
This location is very close to all the action. Within a few steps, you get to Dollys Stampede, restaurants and other attractions. The decor is decent and room was overall clean. The pools are small but nice. The breakfast was good, they had eggs, sausage, waffles, biscuits, gravy, yogurt, coffee, juice ect. My room had an ant problem. The sink also backed up with what seemed to be $hit. I threw up. This place has a motel feel rather than a hotel. When checking out, I was never asked how my stay was. I would not be staying here again.
Over all this was a nice place to stay. Room was nice and large, was very clean. Good location. You could access the road to Dollywood from the rear of the building and that road would also take you to a road that would take you the back way to the Island and other locations with out having to fight the traffic. The elevator was kind of slow and there is only one. I thought it was a good value .
We planned a trip to Dollywood. This Best Western was so close to Dollywood in either driving or taking the tram. Looking online, I had made a list of several hotels and picked this one and glad I did. I'm also glad I booked early because they were completely full the whole time we were there. The included buffet breakfast was very nice and it was never crowded at the various times we went to eat. Plenty of places to sit at tables outside or inside the dining room. They had 3 very nice pools. 2 outside and 1 inside. As crazy as this sounds, I slept even better on their queen bed than my actual bed at home. The showers were excellent with powerful shower heads, especially after walking all day at Dollywood. The hotel staff were excellent (very friendly and professional). And checking out was fast and easy.
We always stay at the Best Western Plaza Inn when we travel to Pigeon Forge, and it never disappoints. Clean, quiet, family friendly, and located right on the Parkway. Trolley Stop located right at the front door, and easy walking distance to Dixie Stampede and other attractions.
This hotel is located a very short drive from Dollywood, walking distance to Dixie Stampede and lots of restaurants nearby. Breakfast was typical hotel food but very small eating area for the number of guests. Three pools to enjoy. For our quick trip when we were hardly in the room it worked very well.
This hotel is clean, convenient to everything and the staff was super friendly. My family will definitely be coming back here. My kids also loved the outdoor pool and breakfast. All in all we loved our experience at Best Western.
I know that the room is not very suitable when my 7 year old daughter makes the comment that the room looked "very dated". As soon as we walked it, we could tell that it wasn't going to be a leisurely stay because one of the beds was so worn that it literally sank in the middle. I tried to convince my husband that it wouldn't be so bad by laying down on it but instantly could feel all of the springs in the bed. As if that was not bad enough, my husband went to turn the tv on and it instantly said no signal. After messing with the tv to make sure it wasn't just something we pressed, he called down to the front desk and was told that the tv was out in all of East Tennessee. While I understand this is not a Best Western issue, I would have been nice for the front desk to warn us as we were checking in since they answered the question so quickly as we rang the front desk instead of us wasting time trying to figure it out ourselves. The elevator that was closest to our room sounded like it could break at any given point in time and did not have the usually certification posted that elevators have stating they have been inspected. Needless to say, we began taking the stairs. We were just extremely disappointed in the quality of this Best Western because it is usually provided us with a better stay than this.
After researching for hours for a hotel that had decent reviews in the Pigeon Forge area, I booked with Best Western Plaza Inn for our 3-night stay. My sister and I were pleasantly surprised at the amenities this hotel provided. The room was clean, beds comfortable, and very quiet (even though the parking lot was packed with cars). We had booked the Dolly's Stampede dinner show and were excited that it was two doors down from the hotel (on same side), so we walked. The show was great! Considering this hotel was on an EXTREMELY BUSY highway, we didn't hear any of that noise nor any noise in adjacent rooms. We utilized all three pools which were clean and plenty of lounge chairs too. The complimentary breakfast had a nice selection of hot/cold items to eat, coffee, juices, and milk. We parked at Patriot Park and used trolley for Dollywood which saved us time/money and was convenient with drop-off/pick-up location. Would stay here again if in the area.
This place was the cleanest best hotel to stay in. Everything was right there in front of you and even though it was a little expensive it was worth every penny. You can walk to wherever you needed to. Plus 2 outdoor pool and a indoor pool. And friendly staff
The check in was very easy and the lady's were very nice. Our room was really nice we had no problems at all we were on a small vacation and I would definitely go back. The outside pools were clean and it's right in the middle of all the stuff to do on parkway.
We booked this at the last second for a sort weekend get away. We usually stay at the Music Road when we are in town but it was sold out and we have been wanting to try a new place and boy are we glad we did. Great hotel. has 3 pools to enjoy, a hot basic breakfast to get your day started and spacious rooms. Our room was in the indoor pool area. I was kind of worried because of the noise and trying to sleep at night but at 930 the indoor pool shuts down and reopens at 9am. The outdoor pools stay open till midnight. I have got to say we are very happy with our stay and we have found us a new place to stay from now on when we are in town.
Best Western Plaza Inn is our favorite place to stay. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast is hot and fresh every morning. The pool areas are a great way to relax.
I'm not sure how this hotel received good reviews. After spending over $600 for a 2 night stay, we received nothing but unprofessional behavior from the front desk, poor service, and a dirty room. The breakfast provided was so bad that we had to throw our plates away and go out to eat. The coffee was even extremely disappointing. Dirty sheets, huge amounts of hair in the “clean” towels that were provided and kids running up and down the balconies throughout the entire night. Never again will we be staying at a Best Western.
We enjoyed our stay! Every time we come to Pigeon Forge this is our hotel choice. Staff is always so friendly and helpful. The pools and the rooms are very clean. I definitely recommend this hotel for your next stay :-)
Hotel was nice, staff was very helpful and friendly. Pool areas were clean and well kept. Toilet handle was hard to flush and staff fixed it immediately. Room was very clean and beds were comfortable. We will definitely stay here again next time.
Have been staying at Best Western Plaza for about 17 years now. Have never had any problems and has always been above our expectations as far as friendliness and cleanliness. Even with the Covid pandemic everyone was so friendly and did their best to make our stay as great as they were able. The complimentary breakfast was also fresh and hot and a nice variety.
Need better pillows. Pools were fine maybe a bit too much chlorine. Only had 2 small issues. Sink not draining but came pretty fast. Slow service on cleaning rooms. One day called and jist had them bring towels since they were so slow
It was our first family vacation, after Covid restrictions were lifted. Several families attended together. We always enjoy staying at Best Western hotels when vacationing across America. But the hotel staff were very helpful. The hotel was very clean and we liked that it was still being sanitized and precautions were continuing to be taken. Best Western Resorts took away all of the worry so our families could focus on finally being back together and having fun!
My husband and I enjoyed our two day stay at Best Western. The room we stayed in was clean. The only negative would be that the room needed updating and new bedding down to the sheets and pillow cases.
We stayed 4 nights at this hotel and it was great! There are 2 outdoor pools and 1 indoor and we swam at all of them! The staff were very nice and the breakfast was great! Our room was clean and perfect for staying with young children.
Nice pools, nice people but the beds are garbage my back still hurts and I've been home for 5 days already. Terrible location exiting/entering the property traffic is pretty crazy. There are lots of things to do nearby food and fun but oh man such a cluster of cars this time of year.
Both my wife and myself were pleasantly surprised at the cleanness and service from the staff. The grounds and landscaping were on point and the rooms were spotless. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a good experience
All went fine. They kept us supplied with all we needed. Everything was neat and clean. Check in and check out went smooth as well. We'll be back hopefully next year. Would love to have the kids come and stay next time. I know the grandkids would enjoy the mountains and the indoor pool here was really nice.
We were only in town for 1 night, but this hotel was great! The room was spotless, comfy, and spacious. The included hot breakfast was a great start to our day. There was plenty of parking spaces even though the hotel was FULL. We did not use it, but there is a Trolley stop directly in front of the motel.
No hospitality. TV channels wouldn't work, no regular coffee only decaf, no housekeeping. Staff acted like they were doing us a favor by "allowing us to stay". Totally overpriced for the service received. Breakfast was good, pools are nice.
We have a two year old. It was nice having three pool options. Two outdoor and one indoor. It is closer to the mountain side of the "Strip" so it had a nice view in the morning seeing the "smoke" in the smoky mountains. It is also both close enough and far enough away from the hustle and bustle. It is right next to a new mini golf course which is great for little ones and within walking distance of Dolly Partons Stampede. They have a hot breakfast each day that is actually hot and pretty good. The internet works very well...we like to stream Hulu and it worked great for that. I have a Ubuntu (Linux) laptop and it had a little trouble loading the login page a couple times but with persistence it worked..and that was only a couple times. Ok now for the reasons it was 4/5 starts. The blankets were a little thin. It was bed sheet, then a blanket, then another sheet on top. That is a little too thin for us. But really that is our only "complaint" if you can call it that . Quick Summary Parking is good (free). Pools are nice. Internet works well for streaming. Breakfast was good each day. Hotel staff that we interacted with was pleasant and friendly. Quiet at night. We would recommend this hotel to friends and family.
We booked a suite that had 2 Queen beds and bathroom and also a spiral staircase to a loft with another queen bed and bathroom. and also a balcony The beds were extremely comfortable after our 13 hour road trip. We were only there one night but well worth the money.
Dark rooms, old furniture poor upkeep. No one seems to be supervising the grounds and cleaning staff. They are all chatting on cell phones. The breakfast area was clean but the eggs and sausage were of low quality. A very limited selection of other items. Coffee is extremely weak
Stayed at several Best Westerns with great success, this one was ok at best. We stayed Memorial Day through Friday of 2021. Judging from photos and reviews, assumed would be great. I realize that COVID has changed how house cleaning is done, that things are more relaxed... but first thing, hair was found in the bathroom along with dirt when we checked in. I happen to have had disinfectant wipes and I wiped the floor and bathroom down. (Which only revealed how dirty the floor actually was) On top of the cleanliness, for one thing the toilet is extremely small. I'm 6'1 and to use the toilet was slightly awkward. The one we had when flushed, it was doubtful it would go down. Filled up with water, swirled and eventually went down. The shower didn't have much pressure either. The beds are older so not the most comfortable and the pillows are sad little lumps. The carpet had frayed ends leading into the sink area. The microwave was something out of time. Like small with an odd dial. The fridge would turn water and such to ice. All this mixed with spotty maid service. As in one night came back to hotel, and towels and such taken out, but nothing was put back. Had to go to the main office to get towels...then back down when didn't have soap/shampoo. Now it may have been we were in an older room. We were on third floor in 325, but I could tell by walking around some of the rooms had been updated with no carpet. So that may have been the issue with this room/area. You can tell updates have been attempted. The grounds are good, the pools are gorgeous with the falls. And let me please add the staff were extremely courteous and tried their best to be accommodating. It's very convenient for all the attractions. So it's definitely not the worst stay, but not the greatest (Especially for Best Western standards in the past) Oh and as for breakfast. Instant eggs, sausage, biscuit, cereal....repeat. Every single day same thing.
The front desk clerk were personable and helpful when we asked questions about the area. We were offered two different rooms; one on the first floor by the vending machines and one on the second floor. We took the one on on the ground floor and were not disappointed. We were able to park close to our room and the breakfast room was also close. The breakfast was hot and good. The servers were pleasant. They made us feel right at home. I would stay again.
Loved our stay! Had two outdoor and an indoor pool and a hot breakfast. The room was roomy enough for our family of four, even with two teens. The whole place felt clean and taken care of. They still don't have full daily room cleaning because of covid, but they changed the towels and emptied the trash daily, which was nice. It was right on the strip, where the traffic was crazy, but we quickly learned to drive out the back way to avoid some of it. All the staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful. I'd definitely stay again!
I have used this hotel several times and it never disappoints! The staff is amazing. The room is spacious. The amenities are fabulous. This will be the only place I ever stay in Pigeon Forge!! We always have the best time!!
This was a repeat stay at BW Plaza Inn, but our first stay in the rooms with private balconies. The rooms were clean, but we did have an ant issue. I must admit these rooms could use some updating, but location to the pool was nice and my father-in-law liked having the balcony. We would stay again, but most likely not in the building with balconies unless they update the rooms to match the rest of the hotel.
The location of this property is next to The Dolly Partin Stampede-and the location and the show are excellent. That being said, this hotel is over priced. The breakfast was poor quality as was the service. The rooms were dated. Only one room attendant could speak English making communications difficult. The weekend quests sat on the tailgates of their Pickups smoking and drinking at night, loud.
We've stayed at BW Plaza several times and have been very satisfied with our stays. Their free breakfast offered a nice selection. The room, though close to pool, was quiet. It was clean and when we had a minor maintenance issue it was fixed within minutes. We don't take advantage of the pools but the one in the back (river/Mountain View rooms) was clean and enjoyed by others. The location is good...very close to Dollywood (light 8), the Old Mill area, walking distance to Dolly's Stampede, close to Food Lion (if you need groceries) and Gatlinburg...the quieter end of the parkway.
Great location, staff always friendly and rooms always comfortable. Very reasonable rate. Only drawback was the breakfast, limited items available. Looking forward to getting back to a normal pre COVID breakfast ! All in all a great place to stay !
Other than decor and additional rooms added not much has changed in 40 years. We decided to get a room with a river view and I was slightly disappointed in that choice. Next time we will choose an indoor pool area room perhaps. The indoor pool area had not changed. The staff were very courteous and freindly. Convenient to lots of attractions. The breakfast might have been my favorite part. Overall we were quite satisfied.
This hotel is located near Dollywood and also has a back entrance from Veterans Boulevard that is extremely convenient. The hotel, pools and hot tub are spectacular. I am a very picky person when it comes to cleanliness...this hotel gets an A+.
Beds are old and outdated. Rooms could use some updates. And the nasty carpet. Service was excellent.workers clean all they can with what they have to work with check in and out times seem to get closer together. Check in at 4pm check out at 10am
The hotel was very clean. There are three pools on this property available to guests which makes it less crowded. Two are outdoors and they close at midnight which means your kids get the best of both worlds. You can spend all day at Dollywood, Nascar Speedpark, or whatever it is you choose to do and still have time to let your kids swim before bed. The indoor pool is close to rooms, but it closes at 10:30 so it doesn't disturb guests who are sleeping. The hotel staff were all friendly and helped me get the best rate available at the last minute. We will definitely be returning to this hotel in the future.
It was my first time in Pigeon Forge Tennessee and I'm from Frankfort Kentucky I was so amazed by the camaraderie around the hotel everybody was so nice to me and my girlfriend it was quiet at night the food was great and we was right around the corner from Dollywood.
Have stayed at this facility many times over the past few years. The convenient location, competitive price, comfort and amenities have brought us back each time. We love the attitude of most staff and enjoy the access to both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. If you like walking you can conveniently walk to shops and restaurants in area.
very friendly staff they were the best thing about this hotel, good location close to all of the shows and other things you want to see in pigeon forge, clean rooms, ok breakfast, nice pools, the hotel itself very dated torn carpet, the beds not very comfortable, very small pillows, and the smallest toilet I have ever seen, the indoor hot tub had mold inside, the outdoor hot tub did not work very well,
We love staying here. The staff us great and very personal. They care about you enjoying your stay. Love sitting on the balcony and watching the strip or listening to the birds. Easy access in and out.
There was safety guards in place... mask, gloves and sanitizer. Mask was not strictly enforced by personnel so some families was not wearing it. There was a line with order and it was simple wholesome choices. Staff making waffles would of been even better or a chafing dish with warm waffles available. There was staff to monitor as we serve ourselves. Coffee and tea bar was separated from the rest creating less of a crowd around the food and juice bar. Overall, Great experience for breakfast!!! Rooms was clean with fridge and microwave. You can hear pipe when someone flush. 3 towels and wash cloths, if 2 queens.. there should be 4 towels. Coffee maker and options. Internet and free breakfast.. The breakfast buffet bar is $6 per person. People sitting and hanging out in the corridors with chairs from their room. Not a good look for the hotel. Appears ghetto. Overall stay was good as we spent time else where and only slept there.
Rooms facing the river are very nice and comfy. They are close to the breakfast room and close to a outdoor pool. Parking close to building and handicap friendly. Nice porch over looking river to relax on
We always stay at the Best Western Plaza Inn in Pigeon Forge. The staff is very friendly. The beds are soft and comfortable. The water pressure is great. They have 2 outdoor pools and 1 indoor pool. They have started back serving the hot breakfast. It is really good. We would recommend staying here to anyone.
AMAZING stay w/ Best Western. Friendly, Clean, PERFECT location to so much. Plenty of activities, Restaraunts, shopping and the pools are so nice and clean. We stay there twice a year for the past 25/30 years now. Luv it.
Been staying at the Best Western Plaza for many years and the staff could not be more helpful. For as busy as this week-end was, and I've not seen it any busier, the hotel was great. Spent a lot of time at the pool, my kind of great music was constantly played throughout the sound system. Ready to go back!
Everything was great except for the small toilet in your bathroom we always stay at the Best Western when visiting Pigeon Forge unless we travel with your group then we stay in a cabin but we always loved it there we've never had any problems
My family stayed at the Best Western Plaza Inn during spring break. We had 2 connecting rooms and both had 2 queen beds and a balcony. Overall we were very happy...large rooms, microwave, refrigerator with freezer. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was good size and clean. TV was fine....couldn't get the weather channel though. Nice to have some housekeeping...trash emptied and towels replaced daily. Some hotels don't even do that. Front desk ladies were awesome! Didn't use any of the pools or eat breakfast . Plenty of parking. Good location at the southern part of town.. Only negative is housekeeping missed some trash....some on the floor next to one of the beds and behind the dresser under the tv. We were pleased with our stay and plan on returning for a couple nights in early June.
Smell in back building and didn't offer to help correct it. Front didn't want to help in new room, saying non available but hotel was pretty empty. Vending machines outdated display. Wouldn't trust the products.
My family has been staying here for many years and we enjoy every stay. The choice of three pools is awesome. Breakfast is full of choices. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is always helpful and friendly.
Very tiny bathroom. Dirty linens. Smokers outside our room. Tub didn't drain. Walls thin, lot of noise from next door and above. Bed lumpy. Indoor pool very cold, unable to use. Wouldn't stay here again.
Stayed in Pigeon Forge as the first part of this years Spring Break trip. This BW is conveniently located next to the Dolly Parton Stampede Show. It is also walking distance to lots of restaurants. The traffic in this area was crazy on the Saturday and Sunday that we were there. Check in was easy. Our room was nice but a lot of the electric outlets did not work. There are indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs. Both pools were cold but the kids did not care. There were tons of kids to play with. Breakfast was good. They still had the normal breakfast spread everyone is used to. Will stay here again when we return to Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg area
I was very satisfied with the room, very clean, smelled clean not just air sprayed in the room. The breakfast was fine, I'm not a big breakfast person, but it was very nice, coffee was awesome. The location was on spot and having a back entrance was the best ,you could go and come from any direction and get to the hotel easy.
We had a great experience. Comfortable, clean room, friendly service, nice hot continental breakfast. We used the breakfast voucher for Reagan's on the last morning, and it was good, too. Our traveling group of ladies plan to stay here whenever we come back.
Just mom traveling with kids...we were ALL delighted with this place. Pools were fantastic and open late. The breakfast was great. The rooms were comfortable and had way more than the requisite shampoo/conditioner combo. No safety concerns at all. Well lit, clean...reminded me of vacations as a kid. We all had a great time & wish we had more nights there.
I had never stayed at a Best Western before and had only ever stayed in cabins when I went to Gatlinburg. So my expectations were a little low when I had to stay at a hotel in Pigeon Forge. My room was large, the bed was comfortable and I enjoyed the jacuzzi in my room. I honestly would recommend this hotel to my friends and family.
Easy access to Gatlinburg or anywhere in Pigeon Forge. Walk to entertainment or food. Three pools make it convenient. Hot Breakfast was Good enough and parking was very convenient.. Wish they got red of the carpet but not that big of deal.
Every time I have visited the area since 2018, I have stayed at this property. Accessibility is a great factor, plus the staff is very accommodating to my one request to stay on the highest available floor. With Covid, they have had to stop offering breakfast in a self-serve manner. Since the express breakfast is not always the best option, they offer a discount with a local restaurant for their buffet. It's a great perk! It's the only hotel I will stay at as long as they keep up the good work!
We will never be staying in a Best Western again. The room was so disappointing for the amount of money we paid. We slept in a hot room because the AC was not working, had to change our own sheets from dirty ones at midnight after a 16 hour drive to our destination. We had to shower with an open broken shower door and my kids found a used dirty lotion bottle and a used tobacco vaping machine under the pillow on the bed. The sofa was so stained and dirty that we did not feel comfortable sitting on it to watch TV. Thew Door to the room did not shut right and had to be slammed shut in order to lock it and it would wake up everyone in the room. the toilet splashed water and feces up into the air when ever it was flushed. It was a horrible experience. So much, that my kids fell a sleep crying the first night.Tthe bathroom floors were dirty and we had to wear our shoes in order to walk around. I kept asking to talk to a manager and there was never a manager available. The General manager never reached out to us and they did not offer us a refund or other accommodation.
The Plaza Inn in Pigeon Forge Tn., has been our home away from home for many years. It is kept well, to the rooms, lobby. and grounds. They run a good show, if I can call it that. The office workers to the maids and the ladies in the breakfast room cannot be beat. They are always friendly and helpful.
This hotel is in a good location for driving to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is at the Gatlinburg end of Pigeon Forge, so if you take the Gatlinburg bypass to the park, it is great. The room was clean upon our arrival. Due to Covid, they are providing minimal housekeeping services (towels and trash). Breakfast was available (eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, fruit, cereal, toast, yogurt). Masks are required while getting food, and gloves worn while serving yourself. The breakfast was sufficient. Please be aware that if you have a room inside the indoor pool area, it can be very noisy from kids playing in the pool. The staff was good about clearing the pool at the 10:30 pm closing time, however if you want to get to sleep earlier than that, please keep that in mind. We were in room 270, and it seemed large. Our room had windows overlooking the indoor and outdoor pools. Overall, we felt this hotel was worth the money during what seemed to be a peak time (Spring Break). I heard the front desk tell someone they were fully booked.
The bed sheets was dirty and the room had a odor. The ac was noisy all night. Little to no sleep. The only positive is the location. It is close to everything. This hotel needs a renovation at some point.
This was a last minute trip we planned for my sons birthday. Check in was super easy and fast, the room was very clean as well as the shower. The indoor pool was our favorite. Overall a great place to stay!
I was hesitant to pick a regular ol chain, but this exceeded my expectations. Very nice place and a great nights rest the entire stay. The outdoor pool was our biggest enjoyment of all. Great base camp for our vist.
The check in was fast. Has carpet in the room, should be bare floors. Has two types of queen beds that I like. One was firm and the other queen bed was pillow top. The breakfast was modified. Didn't have a grab and go. Could have had fruits to go along with the breakfast.
The BW Plaza Inn is a large property on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. Our room was in the back building and was everything we would expect in a budget room. The room was clean, fairly updated, and as a bonus, we could see the river from the private balcony. The bed was comfortable, which is always the most important factor in a hotel room that is simply a place to sleep before heading off for the day's activities. The hotel is serving breakfast, but it is limited. Scrambled eggs, biscuit & gravy, and an orange section was served. They also offer a discount breakfast bar at a nearby restaurant. II would stay here again if we needed a hotel in this area.
We had a very nice experience during this stay... was close to everything. The pool and hot tub were very relaxing. The tv had many stations and quality was good which was important to us. The curtains did close good too.
I've stayed here a couple dozen times in the last two and half to three years and have never had a problem. All of the staff that I have encountered have been very friendly, helpful and, engaging. This is the only place that I have stayed when I'm in Pigeon Forge. For me it's convenient for everything I want to do or any place I want to go.
My husband and I stayed here for Valentine's Day weekend. We have stayed before and had a great experience. However, the room was outdated, musty, and not very clean. The carpet was dirty and had sticky stuff on it, the shower has stains on the ceiling above it that looked recent. We will not be going back.
I know I've written several reviews on this hotel. We've stayed in many different rooms, but I must say room 371 at the indoor pool area so far is our favorite. The room was very clean, we had a balcony, fireplace, a sitting area and comfortable bed. Since we are traveling during COVID I was truly impressed with the cleanliness of the entire hotel grounds and room. Front desk staff were very friendly, and COVID precaution safe with mask or behind the plexiglass area at all times. Hand sanitizing lotion was available for us at the front desk as well. We did not dine in for breakfast simply since it is COVID - most hotels have had to resort to bagged breakfast for safety reasons. So we decided just to get on the road early instead of waiting for breakfast timeframe. Great one night stay, we will be back!
This hotel has friendly staff, check in and check out us very simple! Clean rooms with great rates! Fantastic indoor and outdoor pools with a hot tub. We love this place and choose to stay here every time we are in Pigeon Forge!
Just go outside and eat grass it will taste better. Seriously pay all the money that you pay and no hotel is doing breakfast because they are afraid of covid. Ended up just going to a breakfast place every morning.
We frequent visitors to this area. This is the only hotel we will stay at. We feel safe. It's clean, and the staff is always welcoming. My family loves being able to use the indoor pool. It is close to all the main attractions but still quiet enough so you can get a good nights sleep.
Everything was great! Except the indoor pool was to cold for my toddler to swim. The bed was to soft. The breakfast was good considering it was on the go due to covid! There was also some remodeling early in the morning!
We reserved a King room with Fireplace and Jaccuzi with Riverview and it was well worth it! The king bed was VERY comfortable. It was such a romantic stay for us! The Jaccuzi tub was clean as well as the room. The fireplace really added to it. Definitely reccomend staying here!
Great Hotel. Made reservations thru Reservations.com . Did not get the room I reserved. So had to pay an additional $114 to get it. This was not Best Westerns fault. I will book direct with them next time.
The employees were awesome. The issue that I had was the fake fireplace in the room is on a Noisy Timer and it cuts off. Why have a fake fireplace with a timer on it anyway? Room was very clean and neat, except for the Fake Fireplace timer noise. Children ran up and down the walkway in front of our room at 1;30 in the morning for over an hour and no one did anything about it. Never Gain will i stay here!!!
Excelente location and the hotel was nice and clean room. Room was spacious and really comfortable with microwave and refrigerator loved every bit of it. The bathroom was spotless. Great indoor pool. I'll be back soon
The location was great right next to the Dixie Stampede. The hotel had Clean rooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The only thing I can say bad is that it's kind of expensive for a 1 night stay.
we would have stayed longer but we were on our way back to Florida from the Poconos and didn't want to drive new years eve. the staff was amazing, couldn't ask for a better location, best part was the fireplace in the room. the room was very spacious and clean. the overall property very well maintained and clean. we will be visiting BW Pigeon Forge in the near future with the kids.
Love this hotel! Love the location so convenient to everything. My granddaughter loved it be beside top jump☺️. This hotel is very clean and the staff is really nice. The price maybe a little more but you get what you pay for and this hotel is so worth it.
Room was dated. Very noisy. Beds were very uncomfortable. Room was not worth what we had to pay. If Best Western is gonna charge this much then the rooms need a lot of attention. The staff was friendly.
Tried calling front desk multiple times for an extra blanket; but there was no answer. Also, the fireplace wasn't working the first night, we reported it and the guy they sent up didn't do anything to fix it. Next day we told them we wanted some sort of refund because we paid for a fireplace and they said no so they sent someone else to finally fix. However, it was our last night and I don't agree with that.
The Best Western on the Plaza is a very nice , clean place where you can simply relax. Staff is very attentive and quick to help. Sad this is they have reduced so much due to Covid and room remains the same price. You cant ever get your bed made up. The breakfast is so reduced its better to just not use it. The pool and hot tub are perfect. The location is great as well.
We stay here every Christmas season for our anniversary. It is located to places that we like to visit. The room is nice and we have a wonderful view of the mountains and the mountain stream. The maids and the other employees are wonderful. The prices are in our price range.
Really enjoyed the fireplace in the room!!! Balcony with a river view was also amazing. I felt like the staff and hotel were very conscious of what was going on with COVID-19 and ensured we had a safe and enjoyable stay. The only downside was that our trash wasn't emptied one day and the cans were small. Overall a great stay and if I return to the area I will definitely stay here again.
BW Plaza Inn I'd a great place to stay! It is clean and well maintained, the staff is friendly and professional. Check in was easy and fast. They are centrally located and that makes it easy to take walks to see the sights.
The hotel is clean and in a great location. We had a jacuzzi room with a fireplace and river view. We literally had ZERO complaints. This will be our new go to in Pigeon Forge. We didn't try breakfast or the indoor pool. We will next time.
The speed of check out was fast. The staff was nice and let us know about the surrounding area. The room was very clean. The housekeeping was always available and ready with what we needed. The check-out was superfast and all precautions was taken
BW Plaza Inn is a great place to stay. Reasonable price, great staff and good location in Pigeon Forge. We have stayed here for years and multiple times per year as the service, cleanliness and amenities continue to be top notch.
This motel is an older motel but it is up to date. This motel is clean. The outside area of this motel shows that they want to make it look nice. Everything works in this motel. They have 2 outside pools, 1 with a waterfall, and one inside pool.
It was an amazing stay and will mostlikely stay again! Everything was clean and well maintained. Also the decor was very pleasing to the eye. The location is also a great perk of staying here. All the staff was exteamly nice, friendly amd helpfull.
We chose Best Western Plaza Inn based on prior experiences, and our stay this time was good also. The room and bathroom was very clean, good hot water and the air-conditioner was very quiet. the breakfast was very good considering the pandemic we are in.
Rooms were nice and spacious. Fireplace was a bonus. Bed was comfy, room was clean. The layout of the hotel was a little tricky but overall I would stay here again. Room by the pool, only complaint was the overwhelming chlorine smell.
I had two rooms for family members. Special needs could have been a problem but was easily attended to by the staff. We were given an all access room adjoining to our regular room. Both rooms were extremely large and spacious giving you the feeling of more for your money. The price was very good and the staff very attentive. We will return on our next visit.
We wanted to go to Anakeesta in Gatlinburg. Hotels there were astronimcal so we looked north to Pigeon Forge. Really enjoyed our time at the BWPI. We stayed pool side which was a hit with our kiddos. Steak place across the street. Tons of tourism places all along the strip. Not far from the Motor Trail through the mountains or Gatlinburg. Absolutely loved our time there.
Was very pleased. When we come to the mountains we usually stay in a condo. We will stay here again! Location to lots Resturants and all the shows was very handy. Really loved the gas logs in the room
My wife and I stayed for a weekend getaway and found that the property, although a little dated, was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly professional and accommodating. A free hot box breakfast was served each morning consisting of scrambled eggs, and biscuits and gravy. The eggs were good, but the biscuits were over microwaved and inedible. Also there were no seasonings available such as salt and pepper packets. Overall the experience was a good one. Parking was plentiful, and free. And the location is in walking distance of many of the restaurants and businesses.
This hotel has a great location right beside Dixie Stampeed. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is good. The rooms are very cosey and the bed is comfy. This is the second time I have stayed here and was glad that I chose this hotel again
The indoor and outdoor pool areas are great for kids and families. Rooms have always been and continue to be super clean. The building that houses the pool area has rooms that are larger and have a fireplace. Super great for families. They also offer options for larger rooms. Breakfast before COVID was always great. We actually ate at the restaurant that they provided coupons for this time and the service and food was very good. Great value!
Our trip to Pigeon Forge was good this year,always stay at the Best Western Plazza Inn, rooms are nice and updated,plenty of parking staff is always nice. The motel has a pool and a small to go breakfast, no dine in.
Great place to stay rooms are clean and comfortable would definitely recommend we have stayed here many times and will gladly return the staff were all very happy and willing to help with if needed extra towels or coffee
When we checked on a Thursday night Sandra was working. She was so friendly and personable. She really seemed to enjoy her job. The hotel only had a family suite for 1 night but Sandra was very helpful directing us to another partner hotel that might have what we were looking for, for the remaining trip. Our room was awesome. Balcony overlooked parkway and we enjoyed it. Sad we could only stay 1 night but we will stay there again when we go to Pigeon Forge. Breakfast was biscuit and gravy, scrambled eggs, even during covid19 and we ate in our room. Rate was perfect. Indoor pool was great since it was a little chilly out. Great Job Best Western!!
Don't waste your money. The rooms were very dirty. Hair on the floor in the bathroom. A cracker piece left by the beside and a Tupperware container of some unknown white substance left beneath the ac unit. Saw everything within 2 min of entering the room. It made me question the cleanliness of the sheets I slept on at night and I didn't get much sleep. Terrible. Won't be back.
My husband and I have stayed here a couple of times. We love it. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. We enjoy the indoor pool and hot tub. We left there today. When we checked in late Friday night Sandra was working. She was so friendly and personable. She really seemed to enjoy her job. We will stay there again when we go to pigeon forge.
My family stayed here in one of the “River Balcony” rooms for 4 days the last week of October 2020. More precisely we stayed in room 191, the building in the back of the faculty. This BW has 2 buildings, the first which is viewable from the strip is a motel style, where you enter from the outside. The other building is hidden in back and I think it was once a separate hotel that BW bought and added to their Plaza location because this one is a hotel style, with i terroir corridors and elevators. First impressions were: seemed clean and roomy however when I went to lock the door the slide/chain lock was broken and dangling from the door frame by a single loose screw. We requested another room but we're told they had none even though my wife just checked us in and they had vacancies. Thankfully they were able to send a repair man to secure the door lock eventually. The “River View” was pretty disappointing. It was really just a view of all the traffic getting out of the dolly stampede. Granted we were on the first floor. Maybe you could see the “River” higher up. The biggest issue we had with this room was how moist and wet it felt inside. My wife would leave the balcony door open to try airing the room out, but the room was thick with moisture. By the day we checked out, I reached into my suitcase and the remaining clean clothes I hadn't touched yet were damp to the touch. That's how wet this room felt. It was pretty disgusting. I can say that we did check out the free breakfast in the time of covid and it was not great. We visited the indoor pool and hot tub which were clean and nice. Towels are provided by the pool. They have a total of 3 pools- one indoor. None were heated but the indoor was comfortable. We stayed here out of necessity, due to short booking notice. I would not book this hotel again.
Not as fancy as some other options, but the facility was very clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable and the room had a generous sized mini fridge/freezer and a microwave which we appreciated during the pandemic and also being vegetarians we avoid restaurants. Our goal was to spend as mush time in the park as possible, however weather and the corona virus did not permit us as much time as possible outdoors,...so this room became our safe place.
This is not a new hotel, but it is very nice, clean and neat; excellent value and good location on The Parkway, less than a mile from Dollywood, about 2 miles from the Leconte Center and The Island. There are several restaurants within walking distance.
Service and attention by those at Check-In and during the stay was excellent, The team here is very friendly and accommodating! Room was clean and up to date. Great value and has the best access to the Smoky Mountain entrance - since you are past all of the Pigeon Forge hotels and traffic lights.
Was very pleased with our stay, hotel was very clean , friendly staff, close to amenities , pool were great. Would highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely stay at this hotel in the future when we visit.
Hotel was clean, service was friendly, room was nice and the bed was great. It had everything we needed and the it was in the middle of everything. I would stay here again. And highly recommend it for anyones family trip.
The rooms are nice, but that's where it ends. Parking is atrocious, booked on their app and said need 1st floor rooms due to handicaps of 2 people in my party. Ended up with second floor rooms that were nowhere near an elevator. When I called to confirm the first floor was told no problem, but when we checked in he said they didn't hold rooms and were assigned first come first served. Would have been better off renting a 3 bedroom cabin versus the three rooms here.
Best Western is surrounded by all types of restaurants and attractions. Literally just minutes away from Dollywood and walking distance to Dollys Stampede. Indoor heated pool is a great bonus for chilly fall weather.
We traveled during the COVID-19 pandemic and were pleased to find our room was clean and sanitized. Staff was helpful and friendly. Great location convenient to restaurants and shopping. The room rate was reasonable compared to other hotels in the area.
We have been staying here for years. It is always clean and the staff are always friendly and helpful. The breakfast is always (except during Covid) great. The pools and hot-tub are great and the motel is conveniently located close to everything
Went up for so birthday to do some fishing. The location was right on the strip easy access to food and entertainment. Fishing creek within 15 min from the location which was a plus for us. Can wait to visit again
We are repeat customers and were very disappointed with the numerous issues during this stay. We witnessed rude service to others; front desk would not answer; no towels at pool area; indoor pool water cold; water in room would not cool; hot tub area needs time limit/consideration sign so other have opportunity to use it; our fire alarm batteries went dead; poor breakfast; pillows-Horrible; our refrigerator did not work (it was finally replaced after 2nd request). I'm not sure we will stay with Best Western again, unless offered some incentive to do so.
We always stay here for short trips to Pigeon Forge. It is always very clean and the employees so pleasant. The breakfast wasn't like it used to be before Covid but it was still very good and filling. It is a great location right in the thick of things yet still quiet. You could not find a better place to stay for the money.
Due to covis-19 our stay was different from all previous stays. The continental breakfast for instance was very different, b-4 there was containers of food to choose from, waffles,sausage patty or links, bacon, biscuits & gravy eggs &, juice an coffee. This trip it was handed out a window in a styrofoam container eggs biscuits with gravy. but over all a nice stay. We'll be traveling back next year.
Great place for a getaway, convenient to sightseeing And stores and restaurants The Staff was friendly professional and pleasant Check in and check out was easy Room was extremely clean and comfortable Breakfast was served each morning or they gave you a coupon for a restaurant close to the hotel We will stay there again
If you stay in the Mountain View make sure you stay on the upper floors because on the first floor I could not see the mountains but went up on the top floor to see the view and it was absolutely beautiful.
I enjoyed my stay at the Best Western Plaza Hotel. Had a great experience at the Best Western AKU Tiki Inn in Daytona Beach as well :) Was my 1st time staying here at this property. Beds were comfortable, nice and clean and roomy but again I stayed there alone. The pools were nice and the hot tub outside was nice. I will for sure be back to stay at this location in Pigeon Forge! Thank you !!
We stayed here going on seven years now ...they never fail!!! Sad we purchased a timeshare elsewhere and are unable to use it at last minute mini Vaca like we always had a chance here ! Will always come here!!! Thank you for good service !!! Brandon in the front is awesome!
We stayed in two rooms for 7 nights the last week of August. We asked for adjoining rooms but that was not offered and we were exhausted when we arrived. So we didn't ask to be switched. We did get rooms next to each other on the first floor. The rooms were spotless and the pools were very clean. The grounds are immaculate and very pretty. I was very happy with the cost as I believe we got a good value for our money. The only disappointment was breakfast. Due to COVID they had a modified breakfast. It would have been nice if they gave us something different each day. It was a biscuit split with gravy, scrambled eggs and a 1/8 th of an orange. They do have discounted tickets at the front desk for all you can eat buffet at Regans Pancake house across the street which was well worth the money and the food was really good.
The hotel is nicely located. Able to walk to get to different restaurants, shops. The staff is friendly. The room is very nice. Three pools. Used the one by the room and it was wonderful. Have enjoyed everything so far and will definitely use again.
This place is amazing from the staff to the rooms. They take really great care of the guests, and the rooms are great. Every time we ask for help it was given, the pools are very well maintained as well
This place was amazing from start to finish. Excellent room with a great river view, but also a view of the city. It came with a jacuzzi and fireplace and was very well kept. Nice and quiet great for a honeymoon will definitely revisit.
My wife and I decided to stay here on our trip to Pigeon Forge and this was a great hotel. We got a great room for a reasonable price. We got excellent service from Derek, Sandra, and Jered at the front desk and from Ricky the maintenance man. All of them were friendly and kind and made us feel like we mattered. The hotel is right in the heart of town with everything close by. We would definitely stay here again
My husband and I stayed at the Plaza Inn in Pigeon Forge. We really liked our room. We had a balcony room facing the mountains. It was really nice room and view. I had breakfast one morning. I went and picked it up. Because of the virus, it was prepared for me. It was warm and good. We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed it. In fact, we would love to stay there again.
We enjoyed our first stay at this Best Western. Even with the county's covid mandates in place, the hotel handled things well. Located close to everything in Pigeon Forge & to the Smokies. Loved the River view from the balcony. Very nice, large, clean room. Always love finding the bedside Gideon's Bible, thank you! Speedy internet & great cable lineup. Easy check in and out. Was greeted warmly & thanked by housekeeping personnel as we left. We'd surely recommend & stay here again.
I booked this trip last minute and completely went on high reviews and low rates when I chose Best Western. It's right on the main strip and has easy access. I went into the lobby and was helped immediately. The whole check-in process was around 6 minutes tops. The desk clerk was very knowledgeable and explained all amenities including their locations, Our room was located on the ground floor near the indoor pool, which is where I wanted to be due to arriving in the evening and wanting to swim with my granddaughter. Upon entering the room we were amazed at how clean the room was. I did a detail walk through, (I own a cleaning company) and was completely in awe at how impeccable cleaning was. The sheets, pillows and comforter where just as immaculate. No loose hairs lying around, or stains. This is what I really want to talk about, The wide shower head and great water pressure is something I must mention. Most places lack in this area and take the cheap way out. Best Western made sure to not leave that luxury out. My stay was for 1 night only while waiting on the rest of my family to arrive for a rented cabin. The only item I see that someone would not like, is the smaller size TV. New model but small. Had no bearing on my stay since i was there only one night. If I was on a business trip or a longer stay, it might have bothered me. I would recommend the hotel to anyone and I would easily stay there again.
You get what you pay for. The price is cheap but there were ants in our room and found someone else's toenail clippings around the nightstand. I went and asked the front desk for ant spray to kill the ants myself and he didn't really act like it was a big deal.
The motel was chosen as we need a quick one night stay before heading into Gatlinburg. We wanted a hotel with an outdoor pool. I would not recommend this area on the strip nor this hotel. The traffic is awful, the restaurants are not very nice. Overall a very dirty area if you plan to walk to eat. Be very careful of the cars and don't expect any good local eats. The beds are either very old or need to be rotated as they slumped toward the middle. There was only one chair in the room, so eating a quick breakfast with the family was challenging.
Staff & motel & atmosphere & location &pools & very clean . Breakfast & very sanitized. And you don't have to worry about looking on the computer and finding out it's not what it show ! The staff is very clean
Stayed here for two nights for our trip to Pigeon Forge. The room was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were very friendly and as helpful as can be. We swam in two of the three pools on the property, and both of them were clean, along with the chairs and tables as well. Overall, the hotel is very well worth the price per night. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip!
I've been to this best western maybe 15 - 16 times in the last 3 or so years. I have never been disappointed. The rooms are always clean and everything in the rooms is in working order, which can't always be said about some of the other places, non best western properties, that I have stayed at over the years. But what I truly appreciate is the staff. Everyone is friendly and engaging. Always helpful and always with a smile.
I selected Best Western Plaza Inn because I stayed here last year and it was located on the bottom floor a very comfortable inn to stay at, The room was very clean, and parking was right outside the door. I selected it due to where my family was staying at the RV campground making it easy to walk to or drive.to. .The room was always clean and neat, fresh towels and amenities daily. The office staff were very helpful answering my questions fo local attractions and directions.
Unfortunately, my son had zero interest in swimming. But no worries!! Room was so very clean, staff was polite and helpful. Bed was super comfortable. Great location. I would highly recommended. There is a food city within walking distance for breakfast items. We drove, but plenty of room in the fridge for milk, cereal, fruit, leftovers etc.
We stayed during the COVID so the way the breakfast was done wasn't the best. They just hand you a container of food which would be fine except there was barely anything in it. It was just some scrambled eggs, biscuit and gravy and an orange slice. We felt they could have added a container of yogurt and some bacon and sausage or something. They did give a coupon to a buffet down the road if you would rather do that though. The location is nice as it's right downtown pigeon forge. We didn't use the pools but they did look very nice. Pretty much everything in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge were open during the COVID when we went but you do have to wear masks in most places.
Nice rooms, comfy beds, 3 nice pools, clean parking lot. We rode motorcycles to this site. Felt comfortable leaving them unattended. Nice balcony for evening sitting. Convenient location for meals and within walking distance of a few shops.
My fiancé and I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Although it was surrounded by many restaurants and attractions it was very peaceful. Our room was very clean and our bed was absolutely comfortable and the staff was very professional and friendly. During our next vacation to Pidgeon Forge or Gatlinburg we will certainly check for vacancies at the Best Western Plaza Inn. We rate this hotel a 10.
I have stayed here seven times in the past two years. It has become my Pigeon Forge home! The staff are always kind and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The pools are well maintained. And it's in a convenient location.
This is our favorite motel in Pigeon Forge. It has 3 pools which we love and we never have any issues when we stay here. Great location also. Close walk to anywhere you want to go downtown and several activities around the area.
We stayed 2 nights for a quick trip to Dollywood Splash Country. This hotel is 800 ft away from the road to DSC, so it was just the perfect location. We rented the room with the loft(as we had 4 adults and 5 kids), it was perfect.(we did bring an air mattress). We enjoyed the pool(there a 3 on this property). We had a balcony over looking the road which can be a bit noisy, but it's a road, and you can't really hear it inside(unless it's a loud vehicle). There is a fireplace on the main floor, a TV on the main and in the loft as well as 2 bathrooms. The property is well maintained and clean. The only slight issue was breakfast, due to COVID restrictions they are serving you out a window in to go containers. That isn't the issue, however we didn't know this and it took us a bit to figure it out. Maybe adding some temporary signage, out letting you know upon check in would have been helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
We have stayed at this hotel several trips to Pigeon Forge. We love that they have an indoor pool and hot tub with room access and tha they have two outdoor pools and a hot tub as well. This hotel was very clean and spacious! Will stay here again for sure.
clean, good service. Use of computer. Three swimming pools. Good breakfast and very clean with great choices of food. Lots of extra towels and linen. Very easy to check in and out. All office workers wore mask when working
Hotel was very clean. Staff was very friendly and welcoming! The rooms were decorated very nice and spacious. We would stay at this hotel again! Also, the kids loved the 3 pools! One indoor and 2 outdoor pools.
this is the best place to stay in pigeon forge and the only place to stay. there staff been over backwards for gust. It is a very clean place to stay. it close to all of the Attraction. Close to the grate Restaurant and entertainment.
This is by far one of the cleanest motel ever. The crew is constantly cleaning and keeping the place looking great! I highly recommend this place. It is in a great location to some great attractions in the area. Very close to the Dolly Pardon Stampede Dinner Show and great restaurants close by too!!!
This was our first visit to this hotel and we will be staying here again. The room and bathroom were clean and inviting. The beds and pillows were comfortable; I usually hate hotel pillows but these were great!
Everything was great, my family had an excellent time, hotel was great with exception of the breakfast situation, the 3 pools were clean , staff great, cleanliness 4 stars. Very memorable. Highly recommend...
The room was very large & comfortable for my family of 3. They served a hot breakfast of 1 biscuit & gravy, scoop of eggs, & 1/4 orange. That was better than the muffin & cereal we received at our previous hotel, but not a very filling meal for an adult. The hotel has 3 pools & 2 hot tubs, which made it easy to use the pools, with social distancing in mind. The only thing that we had an issue with in the room was the mattress. It was a pillow top mattress that was very worn & uncomfortable. I hope they plan to replace them before we come back to Pigeon Forge again.
We received a muffin and an orange in a paper sack rather than the full hot breakfast we usually get. While other hotels were serving a hot breakfast, Best Western chose a pathetic excuse for breakfast.
Absolutely loved this hotel!!!! the hotel was clean and very safe for a bunch of girls and room 247 was amazing for a group of 5 with plenty of room. The location of the hotel is great, within walking distance from dolly parton stampede and right near dolly wood lane.
We had a wonderful time, motel was very nice we stayed in room 389. Loved the look outside my room! The only drawback was Friday night Run Rod, was going on there was no place to park. I'm disabled and I refused to park my car on the curb in the back knowing how fast other cars came thru there. Was told by magament there was nothing he could or would do. I personally feel if you are staying for the week, you should have a place to park. Finally someone left at 1:00 am and we were lucky enough to get that parking.
Hotel itself is rather large and can be confusing to maneuver, the room i stayed in (190) was nice. TV was small though for the room (maybe a 35") also outdated. Can only be seen by 1/2 of the room, the door to the balcony locks if you let it shut behind you which is annoying to say the least, it was me and my 3 kids and I had to call for someone to let us back in the room, they had to cut the chain off my door too. If you don't have a cell phone and get locked out there i can't imagine!! But other than that it was a very nice stay, the staff is great, the groundsman was super helpful.
Plaza Inn is by far the best Best Western we have stayed in. The staff is great and very helpful. The grandson loved the 3 pools he had to choose from. Well definitely be staying there from here on out when we are in Pigeon Forge
Great place to stay. close to attractions and a 15 to 20 minute ride to Gatlinburg. Rooms are a good size. breakfast is good and breakfast room is not crowded and clean. Wish they had more rooms with king beds.
We love staying at the Plaza Inn. When we come to Pigeon forge this is the hotel we stay at. Staff is wonderful and rooms are always clean and up to date. Close to everything we enjoy doing. We have never had any issues.
Great staff. Great room and view. Our room was upgraded. Everything was clean and staff were using protective masks etc due to Covid. I always try to stay at Best Western hotels because of the excellent service and rewards benefits.
The pool was way to cold to get in. You know it's cold when you get in one anyway but even after being in the pool for a good minute it was still cold. There were even other families with Children who said it was to cold and didn't wanna swim.
We can always count on beautiful views and super friendly, helpful staff. Our room was clean, well appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed the fireplace and rustic, but modern decor. Excellent views of the river and mountains from our private balcony. Literally the only disappointment was the breakfast, which was plentiful, but not as nice as the room! The coffee was good though!
A very nice hotel with no deficiencies. The desk people are nice. Everything works. The room is clean. The location is convenient with nice restaurants and attractions nearby. There are decent places to walk for exercise if you like that. I have stayed here 3 or 4 times and intend to again.
My husband and I have stayed at this hotel several times and have not been disappointed. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The hot breakfast is an added plus. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Traveling with family. Chose hotel for indoor pool, price and rating. Check in was easy, friendly and helpful. Stayed in a double queen room with 4 people. The beds are comfortable. There was a bit of dirt left in the corners. The room was otherwise pretty clean. The temperature was maintained well. There is a refrigerator, microwave, hairdryer, coffeemaker in the room. Less outlets and charging ports than in most rooms these days. The indoor pool and hot tub are nice and clean. Breakfast is ok. It is well run. There were waffles, sausage, eggs, gravy and biscuits on the 2 days we stayed. Good stay.
Room was clean, updated and plentiful towels. Pool with double waterfall & hot tub was luxurious & perfect temp. - not too hot. Very good hot breakfast in nice lobby. Exterior attractive with colorful accents. Highly recommend!
This was our first trip to Pigeon Forge and found the Best Western Plaza Inn to be the perfect place to stay for our visit. It is within walking distance to some of the venues we wanted to see. The room was clean and the staff members were very helpful and friendly.
When we travel to PF, we always choose this Best Western. It has never disappointed us. I'm a clean freak so I'm very picky about a hotel room. This BW is always clean, has comfortable beds and pillows, very friendly staff, and a very good quality breakfast. Highly recommend.
Great location but horrible place to stay. Very old and dated room we were place by the elevator so we heard all the noise. The customer service was horrible. Stay away and save your money and time. Didnt feel welcomed.
Best Western Plaza good place to stay. I would definitely stay here again. The room was very nice. The staff was very courteous. The breakfast at hotel was very good a little bit of everything. All in all very good trip
After staying at a number of motels in Smoky Mountain area, we have decided to stay with the sure thing. Plaza Inn Best Western. Reasonable rates, rewards members got a us a free night stay. Balconies are small but functional. Excellent and clean breakfast area, seats about 50.
Quick stop in for the night at Pigeon Forge TN, during off season. Dollywood was closed, but still a lot of things to see and do. Great places to eat also. Hotel was excellent, great continual breakfast, Staff was very helpful and very respectful to out of towners, Rooms were vice nice, clean and comfortable. Great location and easy access to everything.
Hotel was clean room was great! We had a fireplace and a balcony with a river view, fantastic. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay again in Pigeon Forge. Highly recommend! A+++++++
We very much enjoyed our stay here and would book again. Everything was very clean. The area was quiet and convenient to lots of attractions, plus was fairly easy to get in and out of. There were way more options for breakfast than we expected, and everything was fresh.
Was a very enjoyable trip. Staff was very helpful and volite. The location of the motel was great. Liked the way the indoor pool was laid out with the rooms next to the pool. Sandra Harp at the front desk was very helpful and took care of our needs.
This was our 3rd stay at the BW Plaza Inn. This motel is a great place to stay. The room was very clean, had plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. The staff was wonderful. We will return for another visit.
Our stay was better than expected. Rooms are very nice, clean and large. We all loved the large walk-in shower as well!!!! We would had liked to see more fruits offered on the breakfast bar as there are a lot of carb options. All staff were kind and friendly.
The staff both in checking in and checking out was very efficient and helpful. The breakfast was great and the staff kept everything very organized and clean. Housekeeper was very efficient and helpful in getting everything we needed.
This was one of the nicest BW's I've stayed in. The facilities were very clean and updated. the beds were excellent and the bathrooms were nice. The breakfast area was large very clean and the food options were good. the check in and check out was fast and easy. The entire staff I came in contact with were all very friendly and helpful. This will be my number one places to stay when visiting the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area in the future. The price of the room was really reasonable.
A decent, inexpensive hotel. Overall, okay. Good breakfast with standard items (several cereals and breads, eggs, sausage, biscuit, waffle maker, yogurt, etc.). Building 5 has interior hallways. Good air conditioning in room, good parking. Awesome employees, from the two we interacted with. Now the cons...:The buildings are separate - the indoor pool is across the lot from building 5, though it does have it's own rooms attached. The maid service is okay, but not great. I specifically asked for full service daily and our jacuzzi tub and sink were not cleaned although they were obviously in need, and clear trash was not collected, but the bed was made. The hotel is very dated - not awful, but certainly not newer. In our building, there are 2 floors with drink machines. One machine (as of writing) is sold out of *everything*. The other won't accept money (coin or paper) which is frustrating late at night. The only other option is walking to the front lobby across the lot for drinks to purchase there. Overall, not a bad motel. Safe, mostly clean, well placed to attractions, but certainly could use a facelift in hallways and vending areas. It's nice for a budget choice or for if (like in our case) everywhere is booked.
I've been staying at this hotel several times a year for around 20 years and have never had a bad experience. I had not been here in about 4 years until this weekend. It has always been clean and grounds very well taken care of. They have updated since I was here last and it is now better than ever. I have already made plans to bring my grandchildren back in a few weeks along with a friend and her grandchildren.
Friendly, very helpful staff. Very clean, modern room with fireplace. Great price. Convenient location to Dollywood and other activities. Very nice indoor pool. Breakfast was great, fast and convenient.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room and amenities were real nice. The location and parking facilities were excellent. A lot of lighting in and around the area was bright and the reservations were real easy to make.
My wife and I took a pre Christmas trip to Pigeon Forge. While there we visited Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and some other places. We found a centrally located Best Western hotel and made reservations. We were very pleased with the location of the hotel. The hotel itself was older, but had been renovated. The breakfast was delicious, with a nice variety of items. The breakfast room was a room added on more recently and was modern. The eating room seems a little small for the size of the hotel. The front desk staff were rather businesslike and not very warm, but other staff had more southern charm!
My boyfriend and I went to Pigeon Forge and stayed for the weekend at this property. The hotel was AMAZING and location is great, less than 1 minute to everything we wanted to visit. The staff was very knowledgeable and the rooms met/exceeded our every expectation.
We stayed here for 3 nights over a busy New Year's week, Check in was a breeze and we were given a room on the bottom floor. The room was clean with 2 queen beds and plenty of room for the three of us. Breakfast was offered daily but the room was small and crowded, the food was pretty good. The location was excellent, super convenient to everything in Pigeon Forge with easy access. For the price & location, we would definitely stay here again.
Convenient location to tons of activities and places to eat. The rooms were clean. We have stayed here the last two times in TN and plan to stay here again. We booked 3 rooms 2 of which were adjoining which was fun for the kids. Friendly and helpful staff!
This is a nice basic hotel. Clean comfortable and convenient. Recommend mountain view rooms. View is ok but location on property is ideal. These rooms are in an enclosed hallway with elevator. They are in back of property away from street noise.
We had a great experience while staying at the Best Western Plaza Inn in November 2019. We needed two rooms beside each other, one handicapped accessible. The front desk went out of their way to find us the rooms we needed with the easiest accessibility possible for the people joining us on this trip. The rooms were large, clean and the beds comfortable. We enjoyed the free breakfast each day and Sandy, Janis and Maria were very nice and accommodating each morning! BW Plaza Inn is definitely our “go to” when staying in Pigeon Forge!
This is my 4th time staying here.Love this hotel. Great breakfast,pool, and hot tub. Check in and out was quick and easy.Very clean hotel with soft and comfortable beds. Lots of room with fireplace.We will be back.
The room was clean and the bathroom was in great shape. The front desk was very helpful and kind. Great location, easy to get around town and Dollywood was close.you can get a ride on the tram in front of the motel.
Best breakfast of our vacation! Room was clean and recently updated. Close to shopping, shows and Dollywood. Price was extremely reasonable for Pigeon Forge area and shower was really roomy with a great shower head.
Basic and somewhat run down. Bathroom is way too small. Heat not working. Crowded breakfast area. Staff very helpful and pleasant though. Comfy beds but small pillows. Difficult to access from main road.
Clean and nice. Great place to stay. Family friendly and in a good location. Next time we are in the area we will stay here again. I recommend this place to my family and friends. Bed was comfortable and clean
Motel, rooms and grounds was clean as a pin. Beds and room was comfortable, allowing us to get a good nights rest. Breakfast was good with many options, Eggs, gravy, biscuits, sausage, ham, oatmeal, cereal, waffles oj and coffee, couldn't expect more offerings. Location was excellent, right on the main drag and close to where we needed to be.
We stayed at this property for three nights and we wished we could have stayed longer. Our room was a double queen with a mountain view, plus we had a side view of the creek that runs behind the property. We also had a private balcony. The room and grounds were very clean, and the breakfast was really good with a lot of choices. We will definitely stay at this motel again.
On our way home from Florida to Michigan we spent the night in Pigeon Forge hoping to wake up to the mountain view that we had reserved months in adavnce. We were given a room on the 3rd floor It was dark and raining when we arrived, so we didn't question it at night. It said mountain view on the reciept so we figured it would be great in the morning. When we mentioned it a the desk while checking out we were told that it was considered a mountain view room and that we should have asked for a higher floor if we wanted a better view. Then, noticing that I was irritated by the his attitude, he offered a discount on our room. What? The website said Mountain view room and our room was was clearly overlooking the parking lot and the view was blocked by another hotel. We were looking forward to this for months. His answer to this was, "Next time you stay, ask for a room on the 4th or 5th floor." I told him that we wouldn't be back through for a very long time.
Been staying there for years and always receive the best of service. No need to pack up your kitchen sink because BW has everything you will need. The indoor pool is always a big plus this time of the year.
Very nice and clean hotel. We brought all our kids and grandkids. The pool needs to be warmer. The grandkids were shivering and had blue lips while swimming. I got in and it was very cold. The breakfast area needs to be bigger. They ran out of some food 1 hour before breakfast ended and did not replenish it. My 2 y/o granddaughter dropped some orange juice and staff told her dad to control her better. She is 2!!! That happens. Overall front staff very friendly and helpful. Nice place.
The hotel was very clean. We were only there for a quick weekend trip but it was great. The indoor pool in December was fantastic. My family enjoyed the hot breakfast. The staff was nice and helpful during check in.
This was our fourth stay at this Best Western and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It's in a convenient location in Pigeon Forge, close to Dollywood, restaurants and other attractions. Staff has always been friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable. They have a lot of options for breakfast in a large breakfast room.
On 11-9-19 my wife and I were in Pigeon Forge area on business and we decided to stay the night. Very difficult to find a hotel in that area on a whim but we booked a room at the Best Western from a travel website. When we arrived an hour later the Manager said they were over booked and apologized for the travel website's mistake. As I began to leave she stopped me and told me she would check around for other lodging. I sat and waited for about 30 minutes with no luck on finding other accommodations. As my wife and I began to leave a customer came to the desk and cancelled there room for the night. The Manager immediately gave the room to us. An Amazing experience with the Best Western staff and we had a great night out in Pigeon Forge.
The only hotel we have stayed at over the past 20 + years. The rooms are renovated routinely and a good night sleep is to be found on their mattresses. Be sure and take advantage of the breakfast offered, one more thing you will not be disappointed in. As usual, we will be returning to stay here when we visit again in the spring.
We only stayed one night but our bed was VERY comfortable and the room was very clean! Location was perfect- right beside Dixie Stampede. Our check in & out was very efficient. Their was a large, delicious breakfast selection. Also, the breakfast area had a great lay out and clean!
I needed a last minute hotel room for me and a toddler. I'm so glad they had a double queen available. Plenty of room for pack and play and still room to explore. Bathroom big enough to bathe kid. Surprisingly quiet at night to be near busy road. Would stay again!
The room was very clean and room services did a great job. Everybody was very friendly and the breakfast was great. Good food, just about anything you wanted. We called ahead to try and get a room on the 1st level and they had it ready when we got there.
Stayed overnight . Front desk check in crew was very friendly , knowledgeable about the area and went out of their way to insure my stay was good . Morning breakfast was outstanding ! Good food and cordial wait staff . Checkout was quick and staff was very nice and accommodating .
Our stay at the Plaza Inn was one of the most pleasant we have experienced recently. The staff were incredibly courteous and professional while doing their jobs. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding even rivaling any breakfast you would have to pay for at another establishment. We highly recommend the Plaza Inn and look forward to staying there again.
We stayed for 2 nights during the Hearts on Fire youth conference. It was close to the LeConte Center so very convenient. The indoor pool area is nice and we enjoyed the fireplace in our room. The variety of the full breakfast the next morning was a pleasant surprise too.
Motel was a little dated but very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good but breakfast room needs to be much larger, there were not enough places to sit. There was not ampable parking at night. We had to park in the back and it was pouring rain. Also we are senior adults.
I was trying to park close to our room for my 87 yr old handicap grandmother and my 60 yr old disabled father, all of the handicap spots were taken. Fine, there were other spots close by,however I couldn't park in those because there were cones blocking about 20 spots. So I went to the desk and kindly asked if I could park in one of those spots for my family, I was told no because there was a bus that needed to park there every day. (The bus was for a gospel convention being held). I let them know that all the handicap spots were full...the man behind the desk basically could have cared less and was quite rude to me. I was trying to be kind, and having worked in customer service myself for the past 10 yrs, I was extremely saddened & disappointing in the way I was treated as a paying customer. I do not know the man's name, he's tall with a beard. 2 women sitting behind the desk there w him said nothing. He told me that the customers with the bus were more important than me bc they paid more $ for their rooms...We paid over $1,000 for our room there that week...But I guess we were still not good enough. That BUS needs to park in the very BACK of the lots...and come up front when it's time to pick up the people. NOT get to park there for the entire week, taking up 20+ parking spots. Great hotel, but I highly suggest making sure you DO NOT book when there is a convention or event in town.
A nice property. Nice room. Very reasonable rates. They have a Sr/AARP rate. Very good buffet breakfast included. Desk staff was very friendly. Located near the end of Pigeon Forge toward Gatlinburg. A little over smile from Dollywood.
Very accommodating to us. Very clean. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. The location was excellent for all of our meetings and ample restaurant availability. Breakfast was outstanding and delicious.
As always the room was very clean they had done some upgrading in this room from my last stay in 2018.The people taking care of the breakfast was very friendly and kept the area very clean.Will continue staying here when in the area.
We've stayed here several times before and will come back again. Breakfast has always been great here and now they have remodeled this area since our last visit. Made it much more easy to get in and enjoy breakfast. Rooms are very clean and comfortable.
We always enjoy our trips with your hotel wouldn't stay anywhere else, the person who cleaned our room did an excellent job everyday!!! room was very clean and your breakfast's can't be beat anywhere we have stayed. great place
The motel was on the quieter end of Pigeon Forge, but very central to everything. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and was always replenished quickly and efficiently. Was a lovely place to stay
Excellent value for staying in the Pigeon Forge. Room was quiet and away from any crowds. Be sure to get there early for breakfast, as it gets crowded, as they note on signs throughout the hotel. Great place for lots of entertainment options.
We very much enjoy going to Pigeon Forge Plaza Inn. The staff is very courteous and helpful whenever we had any questions. Our room overlooked the mountains and also had a balcony. It is a short drive to the Smoky Mountains. Would highly recommend this motel to anyone traveling through Pigeon Forge.
This hotel was wonderful! Room was roomy and so clean. Staff went out of their way to take care of you. Will definitely stay again. The location was perfect for everything! The breakfast was amazing with many choices and the BEST Yogurt!
We stayed here on our bus trip when we were in the area.The hotel is a little older and is showing its where.The breakfast buffet was good.The staff were helpful.I would think twice about staying here again if we were ever in the area again.
This was our first time at the Best Western Plaza Inn and we would definitely go back. The staff there are great. Breakfast was great. 2 outdoor pools and 1 indoor. Was only going to stay for 2 nights, but stayed for 3. Rooms are spacious and clean. Planning on going back to Pigeon Forge in April, so we will be booking a room there for sure.
Great location. Convenient for restaurants.shopping centers and amusement areas. Heavy traffic area but not congested. Easy and direct drive to Gatlinburg. Hotel was very clean and well kept. Hotel staff was courteous and helpful. I really like the Best Western hotel chain and will definitely consider them with future travels. The hotels are nice, just wish they would improve on rewards program.
Room was very roomy and clean but beds and pillows could use updating. Staff was very nice and we had a great view of the mountains! Check in and out was painless. The parking lot is split with a tunnel so only small vehicles can go through, anything else would have to go to the parking lot next door to access one side or the other.
I stay here whenever I come to Pigeon Forge. It has become my home away from home while in the Smokies. Three nice pool areas, easy access to Dollywood and the LeConte Center, close to Gatlinburg. The staff are friendly and everything is clean.
We only stayed one night but it was super simple and quick check in and check out, comfy beds with adequate and convenient parking. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, as well, consisting of scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage or canadian bacon, an assortment of baked good and fruit and coffee, juice or milk. Everyone was pleased!! The dining area was a little tight but there was plenty of room in the outdoor dining area if you don't mind the brisk chill of the fall air. My only complaint was that there was a bit of a bad smell when you walk in the downstairs by the back pool area. Other than that, no complaints!
The service at this motel is great. Check in and out is great. We loved the room. Beautiful decorations and comfort. Location and amenities are easily accessible.. We like everything about this motel. No complaints.
We love Pigeon Forge and this Hotel was a great place to stay because of it's location. We had a nice room, and the breakfast was great! We always come during the week because traffic is lighter. Also, there is a back road that is easily accessible to this hotel that will get you anywhere with less traffic. You can get to the Island with this road in 3 minutes and no traffic. I would definately stay here again.
We have stayed at this Best Western for a week in July and a week in October for many years. We meet other family from different states and we have found this location exceeds our expectations. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast room has a good selection of breakfast items and it is always clean and neat. Housekeeping is also very helpful to bring extra towels if needed.
This Inn was clean, the staff was super nice and the location was good...right next to the Stampede show and close to the zip line course that we did and the mountain coaster. The price was good for that area and the breakfast was great.
First class motel and we would certainly use it again on any trip to the smoky mountains. Very quiett atmosphere. Breakfast was great. Beds real comfortable for a great nights sleep and no outside noise to disturb you. The bathroom was immaculate and the walk-in shower was wonderful with good water pressure for a relaxing shower. Fireplace in the room added a nice feeling.
This property is fairly large and the rooms are starting to look old.it was clean and neat but fixtures are starting to show their age. They do have a problem, which is probably good from their point of view, so many guest there wasn't any room to sit for breakfast, and when we left the area, the people were still flowing in.
The rooms were very clean and the breakfast was great. The room could get a little tight though if the hotel is full. It is right on the main road which is convenient. We truly enjoyed out stay here and would definitely stay here again.
Excellent staff, helpful and courteous.......perfect location.....close to everything, and walkable to restaurants and some attractions.....room was great. Breakfast in the morning was very good, good selection for everyone.
Clean room, great customer service and breakfast was excellent. Location of this hotel was great - it is minutes from Dollywood and only a few lights away from Gatlinburg. Pool area is clean and kid friendly.
Sandra was very nice to us and made our stay wonderful. The room was clean and the breakfast was good. We felt safe here and this hotel is convenient to everything. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Best place to stay in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee!!! Offers it all...Friendly people, great service, free breakfast, indoor and outdoor pool areas and convenient to where you want to go and the shortcuts to get there!!
It's a Great place to stay. It's close to all the great restaurants and shows. It even has a back entrance to get out to avoid all the traffic on the main parkway. Very clean and all the employees were very courteous and willing to help in any way.
We have stayed her for our annual girls trip again! It has become our second home! Even my 3 year old knows the hotel and has become attached to it! This place never disappoints! You will not regret staying here. It's nice to have a hotel that you love to come back to time and time again.
We enjoyed our stay here at best western the room was very clean and the free breakfast was delicious.i recommend this hotel we only stay at this best western when we come to Pigeon Forge Tennessee!!!
Hotel was easy to find - right on the Parkway. Check in was simple and quick with friendly staff that explained directions to room and hotel amenities with great detail. Room was very spacious and CLEAN!!! Loved having a table in the room and the view from the balcony was fabulous! Great area with a fridge, microwave, coffeemaker and counter space to store snacks or just a quick place to drop things as soon as you walk in the door. In addition to the entrance from the Parkway, there is also a "back" entrance if you want to avoid Parkway traffic. If you use the Trolley, there is a trolley stop in front of the hotel. We didn't take advantage of the breakfast or the pool (although the pool did appear to be very nice from a distance). We did not experience any parking problems, but the lot was VERY full every night. Despite the hotel appearing to be very full, it was very quiet. Overall this was a wonderful hotel and I would definitely stay here again on future visits!
Clean hotel, comfortable beds, friendly staff, and many choices for breakfast. Located next door to the Dolly Parton Stampede attraction and a 10 min drive to Dollywood. We had a great view of the mountains from our balcony.
We stayed chose to stay here because of the great reviews and we were not disappointed! The complex is perfectly located in the center of all the attractions and next to the stampede! The three pools were clean and well maintained. The room was clean, large and most importantly comfortable. The hotel overall was clean and well maintained. I loved that the room had a fireplace (even though it was far too hot to use) and walk in shower. The breakfast was great, a lot of variety and very well staffed and organized to keep lines moving. I've never seen a hotel this busy on a Thursday but it really felt like we were the only guests thanks to the kind staff and great complex. Would highly recommend staying here. And we certainly will when we return.
We travel to Pigeon Forge twice a year for conventions and stay at BW Plaza. The rooms are clean, the staff is helpful and friendly and we always feel safe. The breakfast is also very good. I recommend this hotel.
Very nice hotel, spacious and clean room, large updated bathroom with walk in tile shower. Nice, hot breakfast. Three different pools to choose from. Unfortunately, the exterior of the hotel does not do the inside justice but didn't bother us. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
We have stayed at other hotels in Pigeon Forge and this property is much cleaner, more friendly, and just plain more pleasant to stay at. It seems at many properties, the attitude is " Heck, they came here for vacation, and have to sleep somewhere, so we don't need to go to any special trouble to make them welcome". Not so at this location.
Our vacation was extremely satisfying. The convenient location of our hotel (Best Western) made for a nice commute to all the interesting sites we visited. I would highly recommend this location to anyone.
Has several pools and hot tubs. The only negative review I have is the indoor and outdoor pools was so cold we couldn't enjoy them. Their breakfast was the best. It was fresh and hot. The housekeeping was awesome and the rooms are clean
My husband and I made a quick trip to the mountains and stopped and stayed at the Best Western Plaza Inn. The lady who checked us in was kind and helpful. The room was clean and neat and a nice room. If you come in late at night parking might be an issue and parking spaces are very close together but other than that everything was lovely!
Great place....3 pools, nice breakfast and our room was super clean! Very impressed for the price. Large room and the beds very comfortable and right in the ❤️ of Pigeon Forge. You can take the back road in and miss all the traffic! We will be back for sure!
The place was very clean and had a great indoor pool plus outside . Convenient check in and check out and staff very eager to handle any issues convenient check in and check out and staff very eager to handle any issues . Thanks Best Western.
Sandra & Jessica (night staff) are truly a nightmare. They hassle guests. Management and owner was spoken to plus the owner received a detailed email from us regarding our stay. No response as of yet.
Everything was just as promised. Breakfast was very good - lots of selections. Pools were great! Beds were very comfortable. Room was very clean. Every employee said greeted us as we approached each other. Customer service was super! Location was great - right at Dollywood Rd. and close to trolley barn if you want to park there. Pricing was very good. We will be back!!
Great location for exploring Pigeon Forge. Traffic can be really slow on the main Street but the river road behind the hotel allows easy access to Dollywood. As well you can walk along the river and get some free tastings of Tennessee moonshine. Hotel was excellent, breakfast area was congested if you go in the last hour, so go early to avoid the line up.
When I made our reservations they were able to put us on the top floor then they also put our in-laws next to us. They had updated the rooms with decor and new furniture. The room looked so beautiful to me. And you can't get a better breakfast anywhere else like they had. Best place ever and we will be back. Thanks
Had all qualites we loved and enjoyed. recommend to all and will definitely be back. Nice big rooms and excellent varity of breakfast items. 3 great pools. your one stop shop and location was just where we needed to be. Personnel was very helpful, friendly
This place goes above an beyond to make sure u have all you need an there's always fresh coffee in the lobby everything so always so clean an fresh if you need anything they are right there to help pools an shower room was always clean an house keeping has it's own special thing per each house keeper an that's what makes yall the best we have stayed for years an years same place 4 times a year for a week each time so this is our 2and time so far an I hope to have so many more with you guys
The room was GREAT, the staff AMAZING, breakfast delicious. Would like a real coffee pot in our room, do not like the little one cup at a time when you have 3-4 people in your room. . . . thank you to all looking forward to our next trip to Pigeon Forge, TN and staying at the Best Western Plaza Inn.
Check-in and check-out experience - excellent; cleanliness of room - excellent; breakfast - great, great great equals excellent; housekeeping staff, breakfast staff, maintenance, security, all friendly and helpful. We have been coming to Pigeon Forge yearly for the last 30 years and have stayed here for the last 20.
Excellent place to come relax and enjoy Pigeon Forge any time of the year. My wife and family have been coming to this hotel for years and have NEVER had a bad experience. I would suggess this hotel. better plan ahead more and more folks are finding out that this is an excellent place for the money.
Came here for a one night stay before a conference. Staff was very friendly upon arrival. Room was clean, some stuff was dated but everything was clean and worked! Would stay here again breakfast was great!!
We have stayed in other hotels and I can say, without hesitation, this is the best of the best. The full hot breakfast is outstanding, the staff is very courteous & inviting. The rooms are spotless & so comfortable. We will stay here again & again.
The people at the check in counter were lovely. We checked in quite late. Went straight out for tea. When we did get back the room smelled horrible. It had a chemical smell in it like acetone. It gave me a terrible headache and add to it the ac when it just about got to temp it would shake and rattle and make a god awful noise for about 30 seconds then stop. Then would start again in about 10 mins and did this all night.... well until 2am when I just had enough and went and slept in my car. Literally. And not a big car My husband and son slept but they can sleep thru a hurricane. Also they have cushions for pillows. Weird! They were half pillows?? It was the biggest waste of $250 I have ever spent. When I told the check out staff they just said “oh sorry”. Should have been “oh let me refund your money”
This location for Best Western is one of the best we have stayed in. Their handicap rooms are made in a way that still feels comfortable. They do have an elevator and it seems all rooms have a balcony with chairs and a table. Beds are very clean and comfortable. The pillows are a little odd so if you are driving bring your own. Would stay again if in this touristy area. Close to the Smokies and restaurants. They have nice pools for family and children. Hot breakfast is supplied in a nice sit sown environment.
Arrived later in the evening than I expected, but this was handled by the front desk clerk with no problem. The room was good, clean and appointed well. Bed and A/C comfy. Pool was great, used it all 3 days. Needed to stay an extra night, which was accommodated with no fuss, and didn't have to change rooms! Breakfast area was comfortable with a good selection. Price was reasonable for the season. Would highly recommend, and will look to stay here again on next visit.
Hubby and I decided to enjoy the Labor Day weekend in the Smoky Mountains this Labor Day weekend. We were very pleased by the lobby. It was spacious and clean and the front desk people were very friendly and helpful. Check in was smooth. We reserved a room with one king size bed. We were on the second floor in room 2 226. Our room was very clean and spacious. I have no complaints about this room except for I wish there would have been a hand towel rack over the sink. That's not really a complaint just something I would have preferred. Great water pressure in the shower. Everything worked properly and looked new and recently renovated. We never personally interacted with any of the housekeeping staff but they did a wonderful job at keeping our room tidy and clean. The continental breakfast was great. Every morning there was an abundance of eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, pastries, Cold Cereal, grits, oatmeal, yogurt, orange juice, milk and plenty of coffee. Breakfast was served from 9 a.m. to 10:30 am. Very helpful in saving us money. The first morning we went down for breakfast, someone from the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Theater came into the breakfast area to pester people about tickets to their show. We didn't like that and my husband voiced his thoughts on it at the front desk. We never saw them any of the other days we were there. I really have no complaints about this hotel. They have 3 pools here. We only got to swim one day and we swam in the pool facing the street. That pool is open until midnight. The indoor pool which we didn't get to swim in but we checked it out, looked very nice. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit the Smoky Mountains! See my attached pictures of the room
I had a very pleasant stay at this Best Western. Staff was friendly rooms are clean And plenty of swimming areas. Continental breakfast was A1. If you're planning on staying and pigeon forge I would recommend this motel.
Clean, comfortable and relaxing! Great location, pools are beautiful and grounds well maintained and we loved out balcony. The breakfast that they offer was great, the selection was amazing and the staff super helpful and friendly!
I have always been a fan of Best Western properties and this one didn't disappoint. The property was clean and well maintained. I did not use the pool but it was very clean and well kept. The breakfast was very good and fresh. Staff at the front desk was very pleasant and told me all about the property and where things were located. Overall it was a great value and I would definitely stay here again .
Very good value, not bad breakfast. Could use some bacon but had everything else you could want including two waffle makers. Stairwells had a horrid bleach locker room smell, easy for them fix though, get some fabreeze yall! Lol. Everything else was great, friendly staff.
best western plaza inn thats where i always stay, very nice, clean and every one was so helpful, nice, polite and caring, i have been staying there for the past 12 years i highly recommend best western plaza
Very clean, recently updated hotel with large suites, fireplace in rooms, suites also include access to a private indoor pool area with 2 heated waterfalls, a hot tub. Also offers a 3 bedroom townhouse suite which is amazing(limited so book ahead) 2 outdoor pools with hot tubs & kiddie pools & one of the best free breakfast buffets around. Stays during the week will save you on average 80$ a night being a tourist town. Well worth the nightly rate.
The exterior and landscaping was gorgeous, we enjoyed a beautiful day at the pool, the rooms were clean and nicely decorated,the breakfast was good, and the location was great. We were close to dollywood and the trolley system, and could walk to restaurants and stores. We would definitely stay here again!
My husband and I stayed at the Best Western Plaza Inn for the 3rd year. The staff is friendly- check in is fast and easy, and our room was top notch. We stayed in the king room with jacuzzi at the back of the inn, with a balcony overlooking the river. It was quiet and comfortable even though we were very near one of the pools. TV reception can be a little touchy, but overall this is a wonderful place to stay in Pigeon Forge to be near the attractions. We will definitely be staying again.
Pools were great and breakfast was good too! Rooms were big and the hotel was close to the southern end of the strip which was a little quieter. Also take advantage of the road in back to avoid the busy main road.
The best thing about this motel was the pool and scenery around the pool. There were 3 of us in the room and they only gave us 3 big towels. The tub stayed plugged when I took a shower I was staing in ankle deep water. The door to our room had part of it coming off. We tried to eat breakfast there and the line was so long we had to go out to eat instead. They should have accommodated a bigger area for guests. Parking at night was hard to find a spot. I guess you get what you pay for. We will not be staying here again.
Very clean and well kept property. Friendly and helpful employees. Great breakfast with plenty of food choices. Cooked food was hot and well stocked. Property is within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. 2 outdoor pools and 1 indoors very well kept.
Although the hotel itself was very nice-one of the best rooms we have stayed in-the staff could use a little work. My 8 year old was burned with a cup of scalding hot coffee by one of the breakfast room employees and no one from the facility was concerned. I was not contacted by a supervisor, nor was an incident report going to be filed until I requested one. No one has yet to actually ask how my son is doing and if they can be of service.
We've been staying at this same hotel over 30 years and have never been disappointed! Every trip to Pigeon Forge we've stayed here. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. We get the Mountain View rooms because it seems more private. Walk to Dolly Parton Stampede, shoneys, and other places. Love the convenience! Not nearly as crowded as some of the other places. We will definitely be back!
This Best Western was very conveniently located close to most all activities. Great family time for all ages. The pools were very clean and a lot of fun. Staff was friendly and helpful. The cost reasonable.
Our room was in the new part around back. The BW Plaza hotel located only 2min from Dollywood.The back entrace makes it easy to get in and out of traffic. Rooms nice clean reasonably priced. Their breakfast kitchen, patio and food excellent.
Very nice and quiet. We had really no issues other than our room was humid the whole time. They have AMAZING water pressure for the shower! Highly recommend. When we come down again this will be a likely option for my little family!
We always stay at this hotel. We love the location because things to do are just in walking or driving of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, we have been staying at this hotel since 2000 my husband would not even stay in a cabin because he Loves this hotel
I have stayed here numerous times. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, pools are clean and staff is very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is not bad either. Located in the center of town easy access to Gatlinburg.
My husband and I have been staying here for the past 4 years. There are always so friendly, rooms are very clean, and the pools are always so clean. The hotel has 3 pools with one being indoor. All the rooms are clean and the room with mountain view are amazing. This last trip we stayed in the room with a king bed and jacuzzi. I was amazing. Sandra and Vicki are the ones that checked us in and where super friendly and very nice. We will continue to stay here every time we visit our home away from home.
Clean room, friendly staff, comfortable beds, ample space, fun pools, good breakfast, plenty of parking, quiet rooms, and close to everything! What more could you ask for? The housekeeping did an excellent job making sure we had ample toiletries, towels, etc. my only suggestion would be a bigger breakfast space and extra waffle makers. We would definitely stay here again!
My husband and I stayed 3 nights. No traffic noise, large indoor pool with hot tub. Clean and spacious king room. Access from the parkway or river rd which is behind the hotel and less traffic. Convenient location for walking to the Old Mill.
overall we were very pleased with our stay at BW. we were upgraded at no charge to a much nicer room. we would definitely stay here again. The location was very convenient to all the attractions and the free breakfast was satisfactory.
This was my first time staying here and it met my expectations. The staff were very helpful at check-in checkling to make sure I knew where everything was located. I had a first floor room, which was very convenient as I had an injury with my foot and it would have been very slow going up and down the stairs each time.
I stay here every time I'm in Pigeon Forge. Rooms are super clean and the staff are wonderful. This has been the norm for around 30+ years. Some may think it may be a little more expensive to stay here but in my opinion it's worth it.
Husband and I love this hotel,it's our place to stay, love the breakfast & location, rooms are spacious, housekeeping is wonderful.Has 2 pools one in front and one in back. The front desk is so friendly and professional.
we have been staying at this hotel for over 20 years. Have tried several others over the years but always return to the Plaza INN. Very clean and friendly staff. Great location. This is probably the cleanest hotel I have been too. Keep the grounds up too always painting and replace the pool furniture every few years. 3 pools and a great breakfast.
It is a super clean place with excellent friendly staff! So nice to see people always working to keep the place clean and nice! Very comfortable beds too!! Highly Recommend for a great place to stay!!
We reserved a room with a mountain view and balcony - it did not disappoint. Our balcony also overlooked one of the pools. Our room was very clean and the service throughout our stay was exceptional. The beds were comfy as well!!! We enjoyed our whole visit -- including the view, room, pool, service and breakfast!!! Highly recommend!!!
Good place to stay. Very clean and the housekeeping girls came around everyday with clean towel and made the beds. Beds are comfortable. Good breakfast kids love the waffle maker. My 2 year old loved the one that looks like a bear. Very nice swimming pool they got one inside and two outside makes it not crowded at all. Easy to get out on parkway and can walk to alot of places if dont want to drive.
At checkin the lady at the front desk was not friendly or welcoming. I asked to not have my entered each day by house keeping. I asked what I need to do to get clean towels. I was told I could only have 4 towels and I needed to bring the used ones to the front desk in order to receive 4 more, unheard of at any hotel I have ever stayed at. Found a few bugs in the room. Not sure what kind but not thrilled. Contributing this to being in the mountains. Breakfast is awful, powdered eggs, sausage, ham, biscuits. If you are trying to be healthy forget about eating here. If you want to eat the same thing every day. This is for you. Paying 160.00 a night I expected a little more such as peanut butter, honey, bacon. This hotel doesn't state “continental” this is not a breakfast. Anytime I came across housekeeping they were in the main area of the building chatting. Never working. Door knobs were dirty and elevators were always gross. There are only two washers and dryers. One of the dryers never dried. It cost almost 4.00 a load. A little expensive if you ask me. To only have two for an entire hotel not a good situation to be in when you need something right away. Honestly not a lot of great things to say. We will look for a different hotel for the next time.
We stayed at Best Western Plasa Inn for our 2019 family vacation. The 3 pools were great. There was ALWAYS a good place to swim!! The breakfast room was VERY nice with lots of great choices! Great family hotel!
I stay at this place every time I visit. Me and my family enjoy the pools. Easy to get to. The breakfast is good they have a lot of different things to choose from. Even bear walfs. For the kids. Hope you enjoy your stay
We stayed for 6 days and the rooms were comfortably large, we had a balcony and was pleased with the hotel. They have 3 separate pools too, even though we didn't use any. Only about 2 miles from Dollywood, near a lot of restaurants too. Only complaint (a small one) is breakfast - each day it was sausage and/or pork roll. Is bacon not popular in the South? I would certainly stay here again if in the area, the price was excellent and was glad that we stayed there.
Nice hotel. Older hotel but has newer furniture and decor. Beds were comfortable and room was clean. All areas seemed maintained.Breakfast was well stocked and plenty of seating. Loved the many pools and the hot tub was perfect. Very close to Dollywood. Would recommend for great value!
We enjoyed a 2 night stay. I enjoyed the indoor pool and Jacuzzi. Our room was in a safe secure location with easy access to our car. Front desk staff was not very helpful. Bathroom was dated but overall room was fine. Free breakfast was standard fare and as expected. We will stay there again. Ice machine was broken but repaired right away.
Nothing special, though it was an overall good value for what it was. This is coming from someone who typically stays at other 3 or 4 star hotels. Pros: - Three swimming pools. - Continental breakfast with some hot food selections. - Easily accessible to attractions and restaurants. - Housekeeping was exceptional. - Water pressure in the shower was fantastic. This was likely my favorite thing about this hotel. - TV remote is able to be easy cleaned. - Coffee served at breakfast is decent. Cons: - The AC unit was rather loud and it struggles to circulate air throughout the room. - The beds are FIRM, as are the pillows. - Little privacy to change clothing (no curtain between the bedroom and the vanity/sink area) with other people in the room. Shutting yourself in the bathroom to change can get tricky. - TV screen is on the small side for a room with two double beds. - Noise from foot traffic outside is easily heard inside the room. - One regular waffle maker, and one waffle maker for kids, can lead to long waits.
Overall our visit was really good. The staff here are very friendly and super helpful! They have multiple pools. Rooms are super clean! The breakfast wasn't good. The hot tub outside needed more water added to it. The indoor pool had a little black particles floating in it. The water was colder than except in the indoor pool. The outdoor pool is amazing, they play music for the guest and the pool is amazing. The location is amazing, walking distance from Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede! Overall, I would come back to this hotel!
Rooms were clean. Breakfast was decent with a good number of options. The only thing that I would say that was a negative was that the air conditioner in the room was VERY noisy and made sleep difficult . Location was ideal!
They ask you what level of housekeeping you want when you check in, but apparently that's just for show, because they give you as little housekeeping service as possible. I had to call to request cups because they failed to replenish them and was told it would be best if I pick them up. I told him I'd prefer he deliver because it'd be easier due to my disability. He actually CHUCKLED at me over the phone and said, "well it's gonna be a while." They were supposed to change our sheets after 3 nights, but NEVER changed the sheets during our 5 night stay. When I asked the front desk about it, I was told they'll look into it, but never heard back. I asked for a ground floor room due to my disability and was told they didn't have any, but to use the elevator. The elevator sounds like it's going to snap and crash at any minute. When I asked about it, mentioning there's no certificate of inspection posted, he said, "it's fine." I asked him to show me the certificate of inspection. One of the ladies from the front desk said it's gotta be on file somewhere and disappeared into the back office to look for it. After quite some time, they were not able to produce it. The parking sucks with not enough spots near the rooms for guests. Otherwise, the rooms are a nice size, with larger than typical hotel refrigerators, which is nice. The breakfast is pretty good, but only if you get there before 9 am. When they start running out of things, they won't replenish them. So even though you might get there before 10 am, you'll likely have limited options. Overall, I'd say the facility is pretty nice, but the management could definitely use some work. And for the love of God, please get that elevator fixed before someone gets hurt!
If your looking for a simple clean hotel next to Dolly wood then this Best Western location is a good place to look at. I will say up front we had one issue while we were there. We checked in on Sunday night. We took our things up to the room and went out for supper. When we returned we noticed a big puddle of water in front of the refrigerator. I call the front desk 3 times in 15-20 minutes at 7:30 pm and no one answered. I noticed a house keeping button on the phone and called it. I expanded the issue and asked the guy on the phone if someone could bring some towels by the room to sock up the mess. He promised to send someone up right away. NO ONE ever showed up. We used our towels after our shower the next morning to dry it up. I am not happy about that ball being dropped. Moving on. The rooms were kept clean each day and towels where changed every morning. The breakfast crew did really well to keep the food stocked and everything we tried was cooked very well. The hotel in general was clean and the staff spoke each time they passed us. We tried 2 of the 3 pools. Those 2 pools were also clean and well stocked with clean towels to use. Other than being ignored by house keeping the first night, the rest of the stay was good. We talked about it and we will keep this hotel on our list of hotels to stay at when we return to Pigeon forge.
Helpful staff, clean rooms with good maid service. We really enjoyed it here and would definitely go back if the opportunity arose. Facilities include a laundry which is always useful when on holiday. The pool is an added bonus :)
Thanks to all the great staff from checking in to the maintenance could not have been any better. With such great service will be going back. great pools great Continental breakfast. The only problem we had we don't want to leave because we love this place
The Best Western Plaza is the perfect hotel for vacationing in Pigeon Forge. The first thing we noticed even before we got to our room was how nicely manicured the grounds were. The front office staff, no matter what time we visited, were always very friendly and helpful. Our room was large, hardwood floors, king bed with a walk in shower. The room was clean and the housekeeping staff did an exceptional job...and quick too! We also observed the housekeeping staff wiping down door handles, A/C units outside the rooms and handrails as well as windows and keeping trash emptied on the property. The breakfast the hotel offered was comparable to most restaurants in town. They offered a wide selection of food including Oatmeal, fruit, muffins, cereal eggs, ham, sausage, biscuits, gravy and waffles. the breakfast blend coffee was outstanding. We were centrally located for all events and shops in Gatlinburg to Severiville! The hotel also offers two outdoor pools with small kid pools as well as an indoor pool. They really have thought of everything and offer it all at a reasonable price.
This was my 4th time staying at this hotel. It is always very clean, staff is always as friendly as can be. The breakfast bar is great and will save you tons of money if you have a large family. Hotel has one of the few indoor pools in the area. I will never stay anywhere but here in my future visits to the mountains.
Friendly staff, nice view, services worked just as expected, and morning breakfast handled better than most hotels which offer that service. If you are looking for a place that is close to all the things you like to do in Pigeon Forge, but not too far away for a quick trip up to Gatlinburg, this is your place.
We stayed in a 2 queen suite in the tower. Room was clean, spacious and beds were comfortable. Room was well appointed and we had a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Pools were very clean and pool areas were well kept. Breakfast was great with a good selection. Front desk staff was very helpful. Highly recommend this location and would stay here again.
We stayed here simply because it was opposite Dolly Parton's Stampede and I intended to drink, Turns out, there's no alcohol at the Stampede, so we could have stayed anywhere in Pigeon Forge. However, I don't regret the decision. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and breakfast was good. Staff circled to check that containers were topped up. The only disappointment was a lack of fresh fruit. But this is Tennessee ....
For me Best Western is a good place to stay, When I go Virginia Beach that's where I stay and I really like it, I've been staying with them for years and I haven't had any problems at all, I can't complain,
Our room smelled extremely bad like mold, I should have reported it as soon as we walked in but didn't so that's my fault but did report upon checkout. Beds were comfy and we weren't in the room much but probably won't stay there again.
This Best Western Property is excellent, we stayed three nights. The staff is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The updated rooms are very clean, spacious and all have private balconies with a majority facing the mountains. There is one indoor pool with a hot tub, and two outdoor pools.The breakfast is better than what's offered at most franchise restaurants. What a great hotel!
The room was very clean, excellent staff, indoor pool always very clean and with towels available at the pool area. I really like that the breakfast area is in it's own building and not in the lobby area. The breakfast was very good also. Overall a very nice place to stay!
The room was great, it had great view of the mountain,beds were good, an excellent Breakfast with eggs, waffles, yogurt, cereal, and more. The pool was clean and we had a great time swimming. 10/10 best hotel we have ever been too.
The hotel value was excellent! They had it all, with a great continental breakfast, excellent views, clean rooms, multiple pools, and friendly and helpful staff. An absolute must stay if visiting in Pigeon Forge.
Our stay was very nice, wasn't too crowded and kept my young son entertained with the 3 pools . First off check in was a breeze and the desk staff was very nice and welcoming.The room was very clean, and beds were nice. The breakfast was ok, definitely listen when they tell you from 8-10 it gets crowded. They could also change up the warm menu items every other day, it gets boring after like the second day. We will definitely look into staying again, when we come back to Pigeon Forge.
This a great clean place to stay. The only thing we wish that had was a hot tub at the back pool. The beds were a little on the soft side but better than most. We have been staying here for years and as always we were pleased.
Enjoyed our stay at BW in Pigeon Forge Tn. The property was well kept, very good parking, and friendly folks. Would stay again next time we are in town. Did not get to use the pool but it looked wonderful.
We stay at this hotel every year on vacation in the Smoky Mountains. It is always clean and in good repair. We love the free breakfast everyday, the three swimming pools, the convenient parking, the helpful staff, comfortable beds and pillows, and good shower pressure. The room always has everything we need, including wi-fi!
The staff gave us a very nice welcome. Our room was very clean and fresh. They have several pool areas and a nice breakfast with outside seating options. This is our second visit to this hotel and we were very satisfied. We will stay there again.
This is our first stay at this location. The breakfast staff, Sandy, Janis and Maria were on top of things and very helpful. Everything was hot, fresh, ready and stocked. They were friendly and helful. Breakfast room was clean and organized.
The hotel overall is clean and updated. The indoor and outdoor pools were in great condition. The staff members were very friendly. The cleaning staff were amazing, absolutely loved how courteous the staff were at the breakfast cafe, specifically Sandy, Janis, and Maria. We had a great stay! We definitely recommend for anyone looking to be close to the action in Pigeon Forge!
Made a last minute stay here. Reception service was good, the room was clean and well supplied. Towels were above expectations. The complimentary breakfast was tasty . Maria and Sandy made sure everything was perfect. The grounds were well-maintained and pretty well thought out. This is obviously an older facility, but the way they maintain it makes it feel a lot newer. One of the best values we experienced on this trip
The rooms were very clean and the staff was wonderful! Sandra let me check out the room before staying and made sure everything was ok before booking. We had a great time and will definitely stay here again.
Emaculate! Clean, good people, best breakfast. I will definitely stay next time in pigeon forge at best western plaza inn. Three pools, a little fountain I was glad I found, just peaceful, and wad close enough to stampede we walked, altogether a wonderful experience for the three of us. Thank you!
My wife and I could not have been more satisfied, The beds were fantastic, the rooms were big and well designed to keep out noise, the carpeting was soft and rich, plus we had a nice balcony with a view. Nothing is perfect, as the A/C could have been quieter and the breakfast options could have been better, but the breakfast was quite satisfactory in any case. Overall we were very happy, and the value for the money was extraordinary.
Sandy and Maria were awesome and kept the food fresh and moving on an extremely busy morning. We were attending a women's conference of 10,000 women therefore the motel was full. Unlike some motels the coffee was awesome.
We have stayed here before and was satisfied, but not this time. It is in a great location, but the conditions of the room has definitely gotten worse. The ceiling had numerous obvious repairs from water leaks. The walls also had signs of repairs with bulging drywall. The room had fresh paint, but the colors was not a comfortable, modern look. The bed was very hard. We found it very difficult to sleep on. We stayed a second night until we could find another place to stay. I would not recommend this place to anyone, based on our experience and room conditions.
This hotel has clean rooms, great breakfast and a friendly staff! Will definitely stay again! I recommend for anyone who is staying nearby. This is my first trip to area in 20 years. Thanks for making it Awesome!
Everything was perfect. Breakfast was perfect and really good. Janis and Sandy do a wonderful job in making sure breakfast was perfect. You have a wide variety of breakfast items to choose from so there's something for everyone.
This hotel is in a great location. The beds were comfy and the staff was friendly and the best part, we felt safe. Now the cons....the halls are dark and dreary. Breakfast was poor. The woman behind the counter strolled back and forth never filling anything. We had to ask over and over for items. Pouring creamers in our coffee, curdled, not once, but four attempts. So we drank it black. Then they had the nerve to place tip jars around the breakfast area. Two pools were not open.
We like to bring our Grandson to Pigeon Forge at least once a year and this year it was Easter weekend. I chose Best Western Plaza In because of the indoor pool. Originally there were no rooms available right off the indoor pool area but I called the day of arrival to see if there had been any cancellations and there had been. They upgraded us to the room by the pool and it was perfect. Everyone was very friendly and the room was large and clean. Great layout. We would defiantly stay here again.
We've been to Pigeon Forge many times and this was our first time staying at this hotel. Excellent staff, clean room,easy check in. Close to everything. We will definitely use this hotel on our next vistit.
This is the second time my grandmother and myself have stayed here. It is well worth the affordable price. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The pools arefunt to visit. Especially the heated indoor. Breakfast prepared by Sandy and Janis is delicious and fullfilling. All i all we loved our stay.
We stay here every spring . The location is great , located at the south end of town you have easy access to Gatlinburg or the main drag of P.F. You have Verterans Blvd. right there to go around town when traffic is heavy , such as Rod Run this week . Staff is always friendly , breakfast is good and there are two pools .
Always a great place to stay. Its minutes from Dollywood. Next door to the Dixie Stampede , and across the road from Texas Roadhouse. Beds were very comfortable . One indoor pool, 2 outdoor pools , plus hot tubs. Great breakfast as well.
We stayed here over Spring Break with another family. Booked 2 nights with adjoining rooms. Was a great weekend. This hotel has become our go-to for stays in Pigeon Forge. Rooms were clean, staff was helpful and my kids love the different pool options. My only issue is the breakfast area just is very small for the number of people in this size hotel. This weekend in particular they were completely booked. It is crowded everytime we go, to where we just don't make use of it. My sister's family, who have never stayed here before, wanted to eat there on our first morning so gave it a try. The furniture looks like has been replaced and is very nice and new and there is additional seating that has been added outside. However it is still overly crowded and just uncomfortable. The lines for food and the waffle bar were one long line (actually waffles had 2 lines) which all cross in front of the doors so difficult to enter or exit. Otherwise fantastic. We love staying here and just will continue to eat breakfast out. Not a deal breaker for us.
Location was easy to find with GPS, check in check out process was quick and easy. Property well maintained and clean. Staff were friendly and breakfast buffet was a plus. Tastefully decorated and really comfortable mattresses.
The hotel is in a good location on the Parkway. We stayed in the back part which is older but it was very quiet and the room was really big. The breakfast was good but maybe change it up, after three days of the same choices it got a little old. Make sure you go early, it gets very crowded and it's hard to find a seat. There is outdoor seating but it was too cold to sit out there.
Great experience for the value overall. The mattresses were a lili hard and the hotel was very noisy. Has a nice indoor heated pool but the spa/jacuzzi wasn't all that. Great breakfast buffet, the food was hot and good taste.
It was my sons bday. We went During Spring break. Even though it was Spring break the hotel was very accommodating never had to wait on towels or sheets or service will be back to spend more time here. An will return to beat western. We especially enjoyed the breakfast at the beat western plaza.. I cant tell u how good it was.. we were and are very happy with the best western plaza in pegion Forge Tennessee..
We have stayed here at least once a year for 18 years. This was a family trip, the difference being that the kids are adults now. Our Poolside room was great. I enjoyed the balcony and the fireplace, and was suprised that the pool noise was not more annoying. Our favorite room is still the King Suite, but there were none available.
The Continental breakfast had a wide variety and is exceptionally tidy. Careful attention is paid to making sure all foods are stocked. Sandy & Janis do an excellent job maintaining a pleasant dining atmosphere.
The staff is always pleasant and goes above and beyond to make the guests visit enjoyable. My family always stays at The Best Western when we come to Pigeon Forge. Our breakfast hosts Sandy and Janis are great ambassadors for the hotel chain.
This hotel was a little older than I thought it would be. It was, however, very clean and well maintained. The breakfast was excellent. The service was very good. Everyone was very nice. Check in and check out was very easy. Would stay again.
This hotel is nice with a great breakfast offered. Indoor pool could be a little warmer. Need to replace mattresses more often ours was a bit lumpy and sank in the middle. If you want quiet make sure not to get a poolside room or front facing room due to noise. Overall the facility is well kept and we even observed a maintenance worker clearing weeds from the parking areas. A great area with lots of attractions to see!
I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in this area! I love my Best Western hotels and this one is going to be on my list of places to stay when I'm in the area!! Great staff, great rooms and breakfast!! Also, it is in the heart of Pigeon Forge and in the mix of all the main attractions. I was so very happy with my stay and cannot wait until we can stay again!!
It was okay, nothing above expectation. Indoor pool, plenty options to buy snacks, free breakfast every morning..It was close to the Leconte center where contest is held all weekend. Check out was 11am which helped and pool was open until 11pm
BW Plaza Inn was a great place to stay. If you head to Pigeon Forge, be sure to check out this Hotel on the parkway . We had a nice quiet room with a pool to go to and internet service as well. The place was very clean and the breakfast was good. I would recommend staying at The Best Western. Great service, clean rooms and rugs. Parking was excellent.
A big Thank you to Sandy and Janis for the great breakfast they put together! They are both so welcoming and friendly. Great location, close to everything. The kids love the indoor pool. We would definitely come back again.
Wonderful hotel and staff was amazing but parking was atrocious! Stayed on the backside of the hotel and had to park next to the parkway in front of the indoor pool. Had it been my husband and I it would have still been troublesome but considering we had our 2 children it was a safety hazard.
We have stayed at the Best Western Plaza Inn many times over the years and we have always had a great experience. The staff is always friendly and the location is great. The breakfast is always good and hot. Great place to relax after hikes in the mountains or time in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. I highly recommend this hotel to others.
Beautiful weekend even though it was raining had a great stay the staff was excellent the room is newly updated couldn't ask for a better place to stay Conveniently located in pigeon Forge within walking distance several major attractions
Very clean and spacious! We really enjoyed our stay. Great breakfast and our kids really enjoyed the indoor pool! Within walking distance of several attractions and restaurants. We will definitely stay again!
Staying at this location exceeded my expectations . I thought the hotel would just be "OK" but I was pleasantly surprised by the great customer service, well kept property, options of indoor/out door pool, updated room decor. You can tell the owners and employees appreciate and take care of this location very well. This Best Western has made me a believer of the brand and I am willing to stay at another BW on future trips.
We needed to get away.Enjoyed my stay.Motel was clean and comfortable. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The bed was soft and comfortable. We tried their breakfast it was good and hot. I would recommend this motel to others.
Just a nice quiet place to enjoy a much needed break and get out for the night. Always enjoy the hospitality and the breakfast food and company you meet are great. Now on to shopping. Not much traffic this time of the year so you can enjoy sightseeing along the way. Would definitely recommend this area and especially Best Western Plaza Inn if you are in Pigeon Forge.
I normally don't leave reviews, but I was very surprised at the quality of this hotel. It must have been recently remodeled. The rooms were very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The kids loved the indoor pool and the breakfast with the waffle makers. This trip definitely made us Best Western fans.
Best hotel experience ever! Best Western Plaza Inn was quiet and very clean. The staff was excellent. The breakfast was delicious and free. The cleaning staff went above our expectations. The pool area was always clean and enjoyable.
I would stay here again. clean, comfy, friendly & easy check-in & out. I loved the indoor hot tub and pool. the room was clean and the maids made sure we had new towels on time. We had a great view and breakfast was very good. I will be returning.
Great place to stay with an excellent location. Clean rooms and a friendly staff is what you will expect to find if you stay here. This is our new spot in Pigeon Forge. We will be planning more trips in the future using this hotel.
This hotel is very nice. It seems to have been recently remolded. The room was huge and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and had a new floor. There are three pool areas that would be awesome in the summer. The front desk staff was extremely polite. Our room was quiet for the most part and we were by the elevator. Breakfast was good and the ladies serving were polite. The breakfast area is big and fits alot of people well. Good place for families
Convenient to everything in Pigeon Forge. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were very clean. Breakfast was great! I would recommend this motel to everyone. Great for the price! Only stayed 1 night for valentine's weekend but will stay again.
Very impressed with the rooms on my first stay here! Fireplace and balcony overlooking river was very relaxing! Large roomy area with table and chairs infront of the window. Frig, microwave, iron and ironing board. Coffee pot too..
Clean, friendly and fairly prices. I stay at this hotel a few times a year and it never disappoints. The breakfast is a very good value and the location is convenient to anything you want to do in Pigeon Forge and minutes from downtown Gatlinburg
Easy to get to. Had a room that stepped directly out to the pool. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. Pool (9-10:30pm) was warm and hot tub was hot! Breakfast was very, very nice. No need to go anywhere else. It is within easy access of everything. We will definitely be back!
My wife and I visit Pigeon Forge several time per year and until recently we usually chose different hotels each trip. However, in January 2018 we discovered Best Western Plaza and really enjoyed the pool side rooms with our grand children. We have stayed there a few time since and each time we have greatly enjoyed our stay. Further their breakfast is better than most.
We only stay at Best Western Plaza Inn when going to Pigeon Forge. Have always been welcomed and if ever needed anything staff is friendly and willing to help. We've stayed in regular rooms, we have stayed in suites and now we have stayed in the indoor pool access rooms. Loved the suites most but every room is great.
Comfortable, clean, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. We booked as a walk-in around 9am and they let us check in immediately, which was a happy surprise after many hours of driving. The free breakfast buffet is lovely, nothing super fancy but better than basic with make your own waffles with fruit toppings, a few hot dishes, oatmeal, baked goods, fresh fruit, bagels, toast and yogurt. The pool is small but was perfect and very quiet when we were there and there's a hot tub attached which was in great running condition. They refilled towels each time we went swimming and the restroom facilities at the pool were immaculately clean. I forget her name, but there's a lady who runs the breakfast who is especially sweet and always struck up conversations, making the atmosphere very comfortable and homey. We'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.
We've stayed at this property in past years. This stay was possibly the best yet. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was very spacious and comfortable with a view of the Great Smoky Mountains. The location is convenient to anything you would like to visit in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. The morning breakfast delicious. We noticed they are updating many areas of this property which made it only better than before. Definitely try this hotel you will be very pleased. We were!
We found this hotel online when trying to book a suite for family vacation July 2018. It was the lowest price so we booked it. We have since stayed at this same hotel 3 more times, recently in Jan. '19. The staff makes us feel like friends, the beds and pillows make for sweet sleep, and the breakfast spread is like none other; also the breakfast sitting area is spacious with accommodations for indoor and outdoor seating, which we love in summertime. Two outdoor pools available in summertime, which means neither is overcrowded, and the indoor pool has a heated section you can enjoy even in winter. I already have reservations booked here with a friend in March, and first of April we'll be coming back for Spring Break. Would not want to stay anywhere else!
i left Browsburg,In. on a sunday morning going to see the Nascar Hall of Fame in Charlotte,N.C.after a long day of driving i saw the sign for the Best Western and i got off the freeway and hit the lot.after paying 69.95$ i got my room opened up, saw everything i needed plus an iron & ironing board i saw a great room. i slept great that nite, packed and left the next day.
We stayed here last night and it was great. Check wasn't until 4pm and I showed up at 10am to find out if we could park a car there before checkin while we visited Dollywood. Not only did they allow us to, they allowed us to go ahead and check in. The staff was so friendly and kind. The motel is old but some of the rooms have been remodeled and some are currently being remodeled. Our room was great. It was clean and had a balcony with great view of the pool and river. The o my issue we had was the bathroom door didn't close well because something was wrong with one of the hinges. No biggie. We will definitely stay here again. Great for the price tag!
This hotel has really good reviews and the front desk staff are always great. The breakfast is very good. However, the rooms could use some TLC and I don't think housekeeping did a very good job during our stay. When we came back the second night of our stay, it was obvious they had not cleaned the floor and even a couple of small things were left laying on the floor that they did not sweep or pick up. Overall, it was OK, but might try somewhere different next time.
I have stayed there 5 nights from Sep thru Dec 31st .....Love it there...Great Free breakfast......Close to all the theaters and best Restaurants......all employees are so nice ....Great place to stay....Swimming pools...Highly Recommend....
We have stayed here 3X now! EVERY stay was great but the last one we pulled the sheet down and there was a mice turd on our sheet, customer service and she refused to do anything but change the sheets. I have stayed several times I thought maybe a free night? Or half off? Something but nothing. That's the only reason for 4/5 or it'd be 5/5! Besides that incident, everything was great! We walked to Dixie Stampede from our hotel, we took the trolley to the outlets and gatlinburg! I may stay somewhere else this year due to the last time we were there but may end up staying here again! We are coming in March again to celebrate my husbands birthday! ☺️
This is an excellent hotel to stay, especially if you are going to Dollywood. The amenities are very good and the location is excellent. Would definitely stay here again. The breakfast is tasty as they serve eggs, meat, oatmeal, toast, cereal, fruit, pretty much anything that you would want.
Considering I paid over $500 for 3 nights, I expected better. Overall, it was nice and clean. However, hinges were broken on bathroom door and couldn't shut it. Also, dining room is tiny. Don't plan on saving money and eating breakfast there unless you want to sit in the cold to eat. Instead of having an outdoor area with tables, they need to just expand the dining area.
Great Accommodations for our youth group. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Great breakfast facilities and dining room. Rooms feel very updated. Only hiccup is you have to go upstairs to get ice if you are on the ground level.
Great hotel! Indoor pool was very relaxing! Room had a nice fireplace in it! Very large and spacious room that made you feel like it was a home away from home! Nice balcony for outdoor sitting. We will definitely be staying again in the future!
Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Very clean facility. Plenty of parking and very quiet. The location was great and the price was just right. Our family had a wonderful stay and felt very safe in this hotel. Highly recommend.
The Best Western Plaza is a great place to stay. It is only about 4 or 5 minutes from Dollywood and close to all the other attractions. The Front desk staff are always very helpful upon check in and check out. Get the room in the back with the balcony. Those rooms are bigger and quiet.The indoor pool was great since it rain for two days of out stay. Have stayed here many times and will do so on out next visit
Stayed here for our first visit to Dollywood at Christmas time. Liked: the trolley stop near the hotel to Dollywood for $2 round trip! Also liked pleasant staff, large clean room and hot breakfast Disliked: pool and hot tub are in a separate building so if you don't stay in that building, you have to go outside in the cold after getting wet. This wasn't explained well when I booked the room or I would have stayed in that building. Overall: Will stay here again if we come back to Dollywood.
A hidden gem . Love this hotel have stayed here many times and always have a great time. Worth the value. Good location. If I had only one complaint, food room is really small so go early if you don't want to wait in lines
We stay here every year for the Rod Run in the fall. The breakfast is good, coffee is excellent. Staff is most helpful and efficient. Rooms are updated and clean, always a nice time. The pool area is beautiful, both indoor and outdoor pools.
Me and my wife stayed 2 nights room was clean and the front desk people were very nice and helpful the pool and hot tub was great and the hot breakfast was very good and fresh close to everything we will be back
We stayed 3 nights at this hotel. The room was large, very clean and comfortable. The staff at the desk, the ladies who prepared the very good breakfast, even the cleaning and maintenance staff were very courteous, friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location on the parkway and was easy to access. We did not use the indoor pool but it was a lovely area. We definitely plan to stay here again.
The staff at the front were very nice and helpful, they are doing some repairs and said that they were finished with the back part of the hotel where they put us, BUT there was a pipe in the ceiling in the bathroom and each time someone took a shower it clanged and was very disturbing, which that is what woke us up in the morning so we couldn't sleep late. The indoor pool and Jacuzzi was GREAT!! The water was the perfect temperature and we were thinking of staying there in the summer but the outdoor pool is in the back of the hotel and the indoor pool is in the front of the hotel and we had to drive our vehicle from the back to go to the indoor pool and it was cold and rainy, we could have solved the problem had we realized where the pool was and we could have asked for a room closer to the pool.. oh well.. we know for next time. I would stay here again, everything was clean and fresh.
always stay there when in the area.its so so close an in a convenient location..Very clean and friendly. Will be staying there again . And I'd tell my friends s about it if they would ask about a place. I highly recommend it
Great people! love to stay there I have stayed there about 4 times just love it. close to the shows and shopping. The staff that work there are just great the breakfast is great. the food is always hot and well stocked!!!!
I have never experienced such swift and competent service at check in and out. Usually small hotels are under staffed and have issues with cleanliness, poor breakfasts, rough linens, toilets that don't flush etc. But you would have thought we were at a fancy high rise and were special guests of the owner! Every employee we met spoke to us and smiled! Our room was very clean! The beds were great as the pillows were not too fluffy or too hard and the sheets were clean and soft. Breakfast was amazing - there were multiple homemade options and saved our large family a great deal of expense had we had to eat elsewhere. Also it is in a perfect location on the strip in Pigeon Forge between Sevierville and Gatlinburg!
I had to change my own bed sheets bc the clean ones that the maid put on where stained and had hair all over them and she did not leave enough clean towels and she did not vacum our room the whole 5 days we where there.
I was pleasantly surprised at this hotel. The room was nice and clean. The pool area was nice. Ample parking. Front desk staff was nice. Breakfast area was nice and food was good. We will stay here on our next visit.
Best Western Plaza Inn has very friendly staff and awesome service. They did their best to make our stay with them so wonderful. Highly Reccomend if looking for a great place to stay! The rooms are wonderful and very clean too.
Linen was not changed after 3 days, sweeping and mopping floor around toilet/sink was not done in 3 days. Had to ask manager on duty about these issues and she took care of it herself. I should reserved Bestwestern in Sevierville, hotel looked more updated and clean looking when we left Pigeon Forge.
This place is great. The hotel is huge with a great staff. We stayed an extra night and they were extremely helpful. We had 2 small children and it was very quiet. The breakfast was hot and well attended. I even lost a glove during the stay and they found it! Great....
Close to Dollywood, trolley stops, shopping and restaurants. Great location. Clean and affordable. Staff was very accommodating. Indoor and outdoor pools. Great place for a quick overnight trip to Dollywood.
The room exceeded my expectations on cleanliness. The staff checking in were polite and quick. Our stay was great for what we stayed. Breakfast even far exceeded our expectations, it was a nice surprise. Until check out........ 11am was check out and was visited by the cleaning crew 3 times before it was even check out time. And they were pushy. What do I mean? The Second time they knocked at 1040 they actually stood there waiting for us to leave the room. All I could think was wow.
We had a room with a king size bed and fireplace and there was PLENTY of room! The bed was comfortable and there were many different pillows to choose from! Our room was located near the elevator, but we heard no noise from it or from people walking by. The breakfast was good with a variety of breakfast items including eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, oatmeal, cereal, toast, waffles, etc.... The staff were friendly and the hotel is conveniently located.
When we go to the Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg TN area, we always stay at this B W the staff are always friendly and glad to help. The motel is located in a central location close to all restaurants and attractions, all rooms are non-smoking and no pets and has a pool, the room we stayed in has a fire place and a jacuzzi, rooms are all up to date. Breakfast is all good with your regular items, area could be some larger
We enjoyed our stay very much. We had a nice room with a nice view. The breakfast area was close by to our room which was convenient. The food was very good. We will stay here again and I would recommend to family and friends. They also have a very nice pool area.
This hotel is a little older but has been updated. Our accommodations were very nice & comfortable. The location was very convenient for our plans. They have a very nice breakfast, the only inconvenience was having to go outside to get to the breakfast area. Only bad if the weather is bad. I would definitely consider staying here in the future.
this I will admit was our 2nd choice for our stay in Pigeon Forge this time. but would stay here again if our favorite place is again not available. We were on the back side on the 5th floor and had a wonderful "room with a view" and a balcony to sit and enjoy it on. Enjoyed the stay, short as it was.
Nice stay for a short getaway the staff are friendly the rooms were clean and quiet and the breakfast is ok but the coffee is great!! The site is located on the strip in Pigeon Forge lots of food places and activities.
I had read some negative reviews, so I was paying particular attention to all aspects of our stay. The rooms were clean, neat, and well supplied. The staff members were all very helpful, courteous, and professional. The breakfast is a real breakfast, not just muffins and fruit. Eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, waffles, you name it. Couldn't have been more pleased.
We were overall please with our stay. The rooms were very roomy with fireplace and jacuzzi tub. My only complaint is the the cleaning people should pay more attention to the small areas of room. Our trip was late minute so I'm happy with our stay
We liked everything about the motel except the commode was as low as a child's commode. Otherwise all was very good and would have been a 5 star rating. The excellent breakfast selection definitely brought the price for the room down and made it very reasonable.
May look a bit pricey but understandable because of it being peak of the season. The amenities provided were clean and good. We did enjoy the variety provided in the breakfast. Fast check in and check out was also good and hassle free.
While in the pigeon Forge are I was in and out of the room and I told them about my arrival time and they had the room ready. Norma was extremely nice in taking care of the cleaning. The breakfast staff nice and attentive to the needs of the travelers
This hotel overall was pretty good.We got a room with a river view. On the top floor the pictures and the wording of the website led you to believe that the river was the only thing behind the hotel but the power lines were right in front of you and the street was as well. The bed was pretty uncomfortable which one you're ordering a single bed room you think it would be at higher quality. Like I said everything else was pretty satisfying they did put the coffee outside the building of the breakfast area which I found odd.
Love the location and amenities. Always comfortable and quiet. Had to change rooms after the first night. Housekeeping was very helpful and friendly. Remainder of our stay was just ok. We enjoy staying here and will probably return.
I would stay here again. The Continental breakfast was great, the room was clean, there was plenty of space, and I really loved the patio space that showed the mountains. The layout of the hotel was interesting it was big and very spread out. We stayed in the back which was far from the hotel office where you checked-in. That still wasn't a problem because the Continental Cafe was still within walking distance.
We stayed here for the 2nd year in a row for our annual girls trip that we have been doing for years! We love this hotel! It's accessible to everything we love to do! My niece (9), my daughter (2), myself, my Mother and my Mother-in-law consider it our home away from home! We can't wait until next October and we love that this place has become part of our tradition! Side note: I talked hubby into a January trip! Surprise surprise! We have booked it to stay at the Best Western Plaza Inn! We can't wait to stay again! Counting down the days!
It is a good place to stay for exploring the Smokey mountains and going to the Tuckaleechee caverns and caves Lots of places to eat in the area. It is a very touristy area lots of parking. Has a great breakfast
The door to enter the hotel was full of broken glass upon check-in. Then, as I entered my room with my family (after lugging all of our luggage up to it and down the hall$, the beds were a mess and trash was full of other people's trash. Smoky smell in the halls.
Nice hotel!! Breakfast was wonderful!! Nice rooms and clean. Would stay at this hotel again. The location was nice too..close to a lot of attractions and restaurants. The inside pool area is nice and clean.
We've been coming to this location a for a couple of years now and we love it! The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. We love the breakfast with the outdoor seating and we love the pools! This hotel always makes our stay feel like we are at home.
Stayed for an entire week and enjoyed every part of the visit. This location is directly across from Dolly Parton's Stampede and in the middle of all of the tourist attractions. The continental breakfast is hot and the lines can get long. The hotel seems to be aware of how busy breakfast can be, so they have a guide listed in the elevator that shows you peak times for breakfast. We didn't spend time at the pool, but both pool locations seemed to be well maintained. The hotel room was quiet, well cleaned and the a/c was great. The beds and pillows were comfortable and housekeeping always ensured the room was well maintained once we returned back. I would definitely return back to this location.
Went here with my husband and child on a last minute trip for 6 nights. We have stayed here before and was extremely happy with each stay, so it was easy to choose this hotel again. Friendly staff made a quick check in easy. We were given the option for full housekeeping, partial or none. We chose partial. Last time doing that, since shampoos, soaps and paper products do not get refilled. Waking up from the first night, I noticed a few ants here and there but didn't think anything of it. The next day, my child put her book on the dresser table. I checked 10 minutes later and the book was filled with ants crawling over it. Went to the front desk and they were accommodating and promptly changed rooms to the second floor. The room was bigger and the beds were more comfy. I asked to change the housekeeping to full clean up. They did it for one night and then resumed to partial. Free continental breakfast. Extremely crowded each day I went. Long lines for hot foods. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with great staffing. The bug situation was the only set back for this trip. Will most likely stay here again.
My wife and I just spent nine days in Pigeon Forge. We had a wonderful time there. The hotel was fantastic. It was in a great place and close to Dollywood. The room was wonderful, the beds are comfortable and we would recommend it to everyone.
Room was nice and clean , the only problem I had was a floor lamp didn't work and the shower kept going from hot to cold on our last day. The pools we beautiful and clean , staff was nice and helpful no problems at all. Breakfast was great good variety! Looking forward to staying again .
This was a second time to stay here. We came for an event at the LeConte Center, and discovered the back road exit which made getting back and forth even easier. The beds are heavenly! The room was extra spacious. Just perfect!
This is a great hotel to stay at. The pools are awesome, the rooms are just as great. I have stayed in a couple different ones and I recommend this place to anybody. If you get a chance to stay in the king suite river view with private balcony, jacuzzi, fireplace, etc. DO IT!!!! The kind room with jetted tub is awesome too fireplace and floors that look like hardwood. Awesome stay!!
We have stayed here for the last 4 trips to Pigeon Forge, TN. It is always clean, the breakfast is Very good , the staff is friendly and helpful , the pools are clean and location is ideal. Love the little cottage where the FREE breakfast is, we always sit outside on the wrap-around porch and enjoy the good food.
Do not go here during car show you will have no where to park and dumb people sit in the entrances and exits in lawn chairs . People during car show will be there day and night . Rooms are nice . No tickets are sold here for Dolly wood any more .There will be drunks in parking lot and fights during car show times sad. Good breakfast EGGS TO SALTY nice people that work there .
we always stay at best western plaza inn Pigeon Forge TN everything is perfect, the ONLY problem we have is with the main pool it has a hugh bush around the water fall covered with bee's and wasp I have to remove bee's from pool every time before we swim.
as always this was an extremely wonderful experience especially the care and concern displayed by the breakfast servers Sandy, Janis, Maria, and Pam. The ease of check in and check out at departure was the quickest i believe i have ever experienced
This is my second stay at this hotel and I love it. Room was very large and clean. We were on the 1st floor which was great as we could pull the car right up to the door. Only issue we had was the shower curtain did not stay in place and would slide to the middle of the curved bar. Other than that it was a great stay. Would highly recommend!
I stay at BW Plaza whenever I'm in the area and have never been disappointed. I like the rooms in the indoor pool area because they are spacious and comfortable. The continental breakfast is second to none with biscuits and gravy, sausage, eggs, waffles, cereal, toast, rolls, and oatmeal.
Facilities in this hotel look good, room was fine as well as breakfast area. Beds were comfortable. However, hygiene was not good. It was pretty clear Room had not been well cleaned after previous guests. There was hair all over the bed and a used towel on the shower from previous guests. Breakfast was ok and staff in general was pleasant, except for a lady during breakfast time cleaning the crumbs around the food in a very rude way. If I didn't move away my plate, she would have dropped it. In general the hotel is fine for a night but I felt a little disappointed since I was expecting better from this hotel.
This hotel was very nice! We stayed a week and our room was very clean. All the staff there was very friendly. The breakfast was very good and always had enough hot food! I would definitely stay here again! Oh and the hot tub was the beat at the end of the day!
Great location. Quiet and super clean and the shower was great. Breakfast could have been better but for those of us who can't eat eggs there were a couple alternatives. Coffee was awful as most hotels are. Lovely little coffee place right down the street so it wasn't an issue.
Clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast was Delicious! Wonderful ladies working the kitchen and keeping everyone happy. Close to everything. Three pools..two outside and one inside with a hot tub. No workout room...but it's vacation ??
This trip has had another wonderful stay here at the Plaza Inn. We have stayed here before multiple times, and have always had wonderful service. Booking the room prior to arrival online was quick and easy. Upon arrival we were given a choice of room location. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful at both check-in and check-out. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. As we have in the past, we will stay here again for our next trip to the Smokies.
Our first time in this area and definitely not our last! Rooms very cozy and nicely decorated. A wonderful hot and cold buffet breakfast. Could sit outside or indoors. All staff very friendly. Beautiful pools that were very clean. A wonderful experience!
Clean and great staff. Really enjoyed the pool area and breakfast was good. Great location with attractions in walking distance. This is our second stay and will book again with this hotel. Only problem was slow internet connection but have that problem at hotels in the area as well.
A really nice hotel with a helpful and friendly staff. Centrally located and (next door to Dixie Stampede). There are several pools - the closing time for the pools are not met so be prepared for late noise from the pools if your room is facing one of the pools. Breakfast is great. The rooms are fine with great balconies.
love this hotel, personal are very helpful and friendly and the location was great. we wil used this location again. gettin in and out of the parking lot was easy and safe. i will tell everyone that i know that is going to Pigeon Forge to stay here, close it Dolly Wood and Dixie stampede, along with other shows. I could not ask for a better location,
I have stayed at this Hotel since I was a kid and now I stay here with my family every time I visit Pigeon Forge. The price is great and I have never experienced any problem. The location of the Hotel is close to all the attractions.
The location is in the heart of Pigeon Forge really close to Dollyworld and all the restaurants and activities. The hotel is really quite big and the room we had faced the main road with a small balcony. It was clean and well presented but maybe a little tired, it had all the usual amenities coffee machine, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, several swimming pools indoor and outdoor, and hot tubs. Breakfast was a little slow possibly due to the time we went down for it, I think it is better to go earlier in the morning to miss the crowd. Plenty of free parking, I would definitely use this place again it was so convenient.
Visit Pigeon Forge yearly and always stay here but never again. Door lock jammed and had to switch from a private room to a shared balcony with no money given back to me. The staff was very unhelpful. I do not recommend staying here.
The bathroom was our main issue with our stay. It had kind of a damp odor. There were a few gnats in the bathroom. We asked the front desk to have housekeeping clean the bathroom again but it looked the same after they supposedly cleaned it. There were still pieces of paper on the floor when we returned to our room. There was also hair in the bathroom that we assumed must have came from housekeeping. It definitely was not our hair. Also on the last night of our stay the room above ours started leaking around 5am and we could hear the water dripping into our toilet. The leak was resolved by the time we checked out. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful.
This was not our first time visiting this hotel. We have stayed here several times before and were completely satisfied - we even recommended this hotel to several of our friends. This time however - we had a terrible experience and the staff at the hotel did not address the issue. A group of people three doors down from our room had "set up camp" on the walkway with chairs and pop bottles full of cigarette butts... they sat in the chairs and let their small children (one was in diapers) play on the stairway and run down the walkway by not only our room but the rooms to the next walkway.. screaming - constant screaming. I understand that kids can be loud... - but this was non-stop screaming. I walked down to the office and told the people on duty about this and was told "quiet time is 10 PM" and they can smoke on the walkway. They did not offer me another room - by the way I am a Platinum and almost Diamond member - and there were rooms on the backside of the hotel empty that they could have offered me (and my daughters family who were travelling with us - who had the misfortune of being next door to these inconsiderate people(. The group went to the pool and it was quiet - 10 PM - I feel asleep a few minutes later... only to be awakened at 10:45 by the little boy standing by our window screaming to the top of his lungs and some of the adults yelling and laughing loudly....I called down to the front desk and was told they would send someone up....not sure if they did because the noise continued... I finally fell back asleep sometime after midnight - this was the first night. The second night I was awakened at 1:15 AM by this same group - apparently they were drunk and not only were the kids yelling … there was two men "howling" and then laughing. The third night of our stay ... the noise continued. When we checked out - and the front desk staff asked "how was your stay"... I almost laughed... this was the same staff member we had complained to on the first night..... the one who had told us the "manager on duty" was going to speak with the offending guests.... when I told him we were not happy with our stay and why... his response was "I am sorry:............ I understand there are all kinds of people staying at hotels however this one - I believe should either have security that monitors what is going on or at the very least - enforce their own quiet time rules. I will no longer recommend this BW property...
This sprawling property is quite reasonably kept. Our only annoyances were smoking guests in close proximity to the only entryway (not directly the hotel's fault) and a breakfast area which backed up quickly due to the number of guests and the compact serving area. Perhaps relocating the hot food, cold food, and beverage areas to different locations in the room would reduce bottle-necks
My parents and my family stayed 3 nights here. We had 2 rooms of ignorant people next to us who were loud late into the night, smoked outside our room and let their small child run around in a diaper in front of our door - SCREAMING! We complained to the front desk several times during our stay and was told they would talk to the people. Nothing was said to these people. We had to deal with the noise for 3 nights. I am not coming back to a hotel who doesn't care for all their guest - especially Platinum Reward members.
We stayed in the suite room 301 which was very nice, comfortable, and clean. The soaps and shampoos were good. Good air conditioning. There are 2 levels, the main level: a king bed, TV, pull out sofa, a couple of chairs, tables, microwave, mini fridge, possibly more furniture, full bath with jetted tub, no carpet, fireplace, balcony with 2 plastic chairs and small table overlooking Parkway Road which has plenty of cars to watch go by. There is a carpeted metal spiral staircase to the upper level which is an open loft with metal railing and has: queen size bed, TV, no carpet, two night stands, low dresser, and a full small bath with tub/shower. The light for the stairs did not work but we had plenty of other lighting. Be aware you have to carry your luggage and whatever you want up and down the spiral staircase to the upper level. There is no clothes rack on upper level to hang clothes - we hung ours on the metal handrail - tacky but it worked. We had a 3 year old child in our group so the stairs made us a little nervous so we watched the child very closely. This child could easily fit between the rails on the balcony, stairs and upper level so do not recommend for young children. We saw the pool but did not have time to use it. We did not eat breakfast onsite. We walked to The Dolly Stampede next door. Parking was easy and we used the elevator to third floor. Looking forward to staying again. Thanks!
We will stay here again when we return to Pigeon Forge. We spent 3 nights in the area and wish we had found this hotel the first night. The pools were nice. The hot tub wasn't hot, which was a little disappointing. The breakfast was good.
We have been staying at this hotel for years and we love the service and niceness of the hotel. The staff is super friendly and the rooms are always very clean and nice. I would continue to stay her time and time again.
Only had one night here, hotel is in a convenient location for many of the local attractions in this area. Found check in smooth and efficient, instructions relating to the facility were accurate. We had a mountain view room, I liked the size, balcony was a bonus, washroom was clean. Some opportunities though; dim the lighting on the balcony a tad please, add some furnishings like a loveseat, night table, etc. Had to pull one of the two chairs bedside to Ct as a table for phone, jewelry, personal items. Breakfast was uneventful, what one can expect when it is complementary, your typical BW fare. Go early though as the lines starts forming before 8. The pool area looks nice but we never had the chance to check it out. Bottom line is that this is an older hotel that has been updated recently, value for your money at a good location
This hotel is located on the parkway which is convenient but traffic makes it difficult to move around. Check with the clerk because they gave us many short cuts to avoid the parkway. The hotelis clean although we had problems with the refrigerator and microwave not working but they were repaired quickly. The pools and hot tubs are nice.The breakfast which is in a separate building was very good. Lots of choices and well prepared. Even though the parking lot is large the hotel is huge and parking was a problem sometimes. Overall a good experience.
We had a first floor room, which was great because we didn't have to carry luggage up and down the stairs. Outdoor pool looked great, but rain prevented us from enjoying it, so I cannot comment. Nice breakfast area and good variety, but get there early to prevent waiting in line. Ate breakfast on the adjoined patio outside which also had a coffee station. Small issue of difficulty opening the door with hands full to get outside - everyone else had that issue, so I spent a lot of time opening the door for fellow guests. My recommendation to the hotel is to install some sort of 'push' door to make hands-free easier. I also recommend installing bathroom exhaust fans for use with the shower. Location was perfect - so close to the Smoky Mountain entrance and just around the corner from Dollywood.
This was our second time staying at this hotel. The first time we had absolutley no issues whatsoever. But this time, it was HORRIBLE! When we arrived at 5:30pm we seen no issues. We unplacked and headed out for the evening. Once we returned at 10:00pm... That's when we seen all of the roaches!! We seen a total of 8 (big and small) and every time we turned off some lights another would show up! We had to try and sleep with all the lights on and even then we did not get any sleep! I was mortified and on edge as I did not want anything crawling on me or our stuff! My husband and 2 kids were upset over the issue as well. We reported it to maintenance and housekeeping but nothing was ever done!! We had a fun 2 night end of summer trip planned that was partially ruined due to this. Very unsatisfied!
What a great stay! Check in was fast and easy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. I especially enjoyed the jacuzzi tub after exploring all day. Located on Parkway, it is within easy distance to most of the population attractions- many within walking distance- the Dolly Parton Stampede was two doors down. Pool area was kept clean and the grounds were well maintained. We will definitely stay here again when we visit the area.
The staff was very friendly and helpful helping us to plan out our day of adventures in the town. The room was spacious and comfortable. The toilet seat was very rocky and we had a difficult time connecting to wifi. The only other thing I found inconvenient was the time the indoor pool/hot tub closed. We spent the day at Dollywood and was in need of some relaxation, but the hot tub closed on us just as soon as we got in. The hours should be lengthened to accommodate for that.
Good hotel for great price. First stay here but will be back. Just right, not too fancy not too low key. We stayed in a mountain view room. We enjoyed the view of the mountains, the Stampede and fireworks from Dollywood.
Not a bad stay. The rooms are spacious and clean. Beds are comfy. AC works good. Location is awesome. Staff is friendly. Both hot tubs were cold and dirty, but there was a lot of people, that explains why it was dirty but not why it was cold. The outside pools close at midnight which is awesome. Not a bad stay it just stinks that the hot tubs were like they were...
We stayed at the Best Western for 3 nights. The location is great surrounded by many restaurants within walking distance. There is a indoor trampoline place next door. We had a room on the third floor conveniently located to both indoor and outdoor pools. It is an older Best Western that has been updated nicely. There are handicapped accessible ramps, stairways and elevators.
Stayed here for 2 nights, kind of wish we would have only booked one night to see if we liked it before booking another night. The price was a little higher than it should have been for the quality. The outside pool was very cold, stayed during middle of July (outside air temp mid-80s). The inside pool was extremely loud and busy. Didnt get a chance to try the breakfast. The house keeper that came to clean in the morning was vey nice and asked if we needed anything.
Beautiful hotel, beds were soft, pillows plentiful and sheets soft. Breakfast was hot and plentiful. Would go back again and again. Rooms were pretty sound proof. Had to park in the back of the hotel ( our room was closer ) our only concern was that you have to pass under part of the hotel and we were worried our large truck would not clear but just made it.
Family weekend in Pigeon Forge. BW was clean, quiet, & central to attractions. We stayed in a room directly off from indoor pool, which was perfect for our kids. Walking distance to Dolly's Stampede and also on trolly route . Good for families.
This hotel was so clean and beautiful. Everything was just kept up so amazing, the pool were awesome, the workers were so nice. I only got one guys name and it was Jerod and he just made sure our visit was enjoyable. We will be staying at this hotel again.
Room was clean and well kept. I am not a fan of outdoor entrance hotels but almost all of Pigeon Forge is that way. The one thing I didn't like is that the chains allow the door to open enough to stick your arm in and unlock the chain. My daughter showed me that. Mind you, she is 12 so her arm is not as thick as a grown man but still....................
One of the nicest Best Westerns we have stayed at. Very friendly staff, great location (lots of restaurants close by). There is a very low cost trolly out front which takes you around the town and also drops at the connecting trolly for Dollywood and Splash Country (neither are walking distance from this hotel). Free Breakfast is more than just a muffin and coffee. We went in 2/3 of pools which were very clean and well maintained. Would recommend this location.
Clean rooms with comfortable beds and pillows. Three pools: two outdoor, one indoor with sitting areas, hot tubs, kiddie pools, and waterfalls. Breakfast in another restaurant-like building with inside and outside seating in a convenient location on the property with buffet of hot and cold items. Staff was friendly. Location is close and convenient to get to attractions and mountains, but still quiet. Stayed four nights. Would definitely come back!
Tye hotel was full, but our stay was very pleasant: clean room, friendly staff. Breakfast was good. The outdoor pool was nice and clean, and empty (in the morning). We had a room on the first floor, the door went directly onto the parking lot, which was nice, I thought, because - no stinky hotel corridors to walk through - you get from the room directly outside.
Highly recommend this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was big and spacious. The balcony was nice to sit out on in the evening. The pool by our room was never crowded. We will most definitely stay here again in the future.
We stay here every time we visit Tennessee. We have been going here since 2000 that was on our honeymoon, been going back since but not every year more like every other year the family enjoyed the stay.
I would definitely consider this place if I go back to the area. The folks were nice, the place was clean, and the price is excellent for what you get. Two issues to mention; 1. There is nearly always a line for breakfast food. They have a lot of rooms at this property and they need to make a better system for breakfast. If you get to breakfast after 8, there may not be a place to sit down. 2. The wifi was in and out the entire time we were there. I wouldnt bank on having wifi, but perhaps it was just our room. So, thats the negative. The positive stuff: 1. Staff was super friendly, always. 2. Convenient location next to Dolly Parton's Stampede (we walked over) and in a good place on the main strip in Pigeon Forge. Everything was easy to get to from the hotel. 3. The breakfast items were always well-stocked. 4. Several pools to choose from, they were never over-crowded, and the outdoor pools had long hours. 5. The room we were in was very open and roomy. Not cramped. 6. Check in and check out was fast and easy. 6. Room cleaning was early and fast. I would say this is a good place to stay if you are visiting the area.
Definitely advise paying the price for a balcony room - larger, quieter location on the property. We liked everything about this hotel except the coffee situation. We are big coffee lovers, and the only coffee available is from 7am to 10am - that's it! You snooze, you lose. There is your typical room coffee maker, but most BW hotels offer coffee longer, and often in lobby.
Very clean hotel and beds are relatively comfortable. I can honestly say the cleanliness impressed me. The building you go to for the free breakfast had indoor and outdoor seating and is definitely filled with southern type charm. The food was decent ... typical fair: waffles, coffee, cereals, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, yogurts, fruits, biscuits and gravy, sausage and Canadian bacon. Happy we stayed here ... good deal.
We were there for 3 nights. I had requested a top floor room, which was honored. It was quiet, could not hear from the rooms next door and even though it was on the main road in Pigeon Forge, you didnt hear traffic. Breakfast had a nice variety with indoor and outdoor seating. The only 2 complaints I have are that the hot tubs are way too small, also the sink and bath tub faucets need an upgrade, there was brown inside of the knobs they have been on there too long. The room was always clean. We would stay again.
Very clean motel , Beds were so comfy , Pools were kept clean and maintained . Reasonable cost in that area . Morning breakfast was tasty- many choices and fresh waffles / pancakes . . Would recommend them as our stay was pleasant . . All staff was very friendly and helpful
We stayed in a room overlooking the indoor pool. It was a very spacious room and although the pool was very close we could not hear noise from the pool in our third floor room. Complimentary Breakfast is great!!!!! Would highly recommend.
My husband, myself & Granddaughter (11 yrs old) stayed Sunday afternoon through Tuesday morning. The room was clean, staff friendly,the hot breakfast included was good. We did use the indoor & outdoor pools. My husband didn't want to do anything the first night due to low long drive but my Granddaughter & I were able to go next door to Top Jump which was perfect for her. This is a very congested area with alot off attractions. We walked to Shoney's for lunch. We arrived about 2 and were able to check in early, which was nice. Walked to Dolly Parton Stampede Dinner show right next door. We drove over to the Titanic museum on Monday which was awesome! Had to ask the desk for a couple of things & were very accommodating. Definitely recommend for families due to location & pools/breakfast.
Having never been to Pigeon Forge, I didn't know what to expect. This property is huge, and on a main street with attractions. Our stay was very nice, and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was hot and very good. The kids loved having waffles in the shape of bears for breakfast. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.
This is really a nice hotel. There were 3 pools. One located inside of the hotel and two on the outside. They offer a complimentary breakfast which closes at 10 every morning. The only two complaints that I have are that no one mentioned to us that there were elevators, so our whole trip we walked up and down stairs. Also we were located on the indoor pool building and it opens very early. 9 or 9:30 and doesn't close until 10:30 at night which made it hard for us to sleep in or go to bed early. The staff was friendly and the housekeepers kept everything clean and looking amazing. Check in and check out was very fast and easy. It is located close to everything, The Island, Dollywood, shops, food etc. Would recommend to anyone staying in he Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg area.
We have stayed here 3 times. Once in a Mountain View room and twice in a river view room. We definitely prefer the river rooms over the Mountain View they feel more private. We have stayed in both rooms on the first floor river view and we love the rooms they are much larger then the other rooms one thing I have to say please cut back or remove the bushes in front of the balconies. The bees are terrible and pretty soon they are going start blocking the view. That's my only complaint- this hotel is very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast and price is right! Can't wait to come back!
Room was very clean. Went here after being disappointed with a "cabin" rental. Nice comfortable beds and very quiet even though it was right on the main road. Great breakfast too! Will definitely stay here again.
Everything was GREAT except they charged for the "things you lft at home, like deodorant. The staff was friendly and very courteous and "right on top of it!" GREAT LOCATION FOR MY ATTRACTIONS. tHEY TURNED OFF THEIR LIGHT ONE NIGHT AND WE MISSED OUR TURN. wHAT'S TRHAT ALL ABOUNT?
The hotel has a central car park area surrounded by the 3 story buildings holding the rooms with outside corridors. There are 2 elevators at opposite sides of the hotel. The whole hotel is a bit tired and needs updating. There are restaurants across the road including a 24hr Dennys, Dollys Stampede next door and a large indoor trampoline attraction including climbing walls etc. Breakfast is in the cafe at the back of the hotel but did not start till 0700 during our stay.
The gentlemen at the front desk was very helpful, they kept our luggage, at the front desk until our room was ready. The room was ready in the amount of time they said it would be ready. The room was clean and the house keeping ladies did a good job every day. The breakfast had plenty of options, and was always good. Any spills was immediately cleaned in the meal area. The pool area was always clean. Thank-you Staff for making our five day stay a pleasure.
Booked 3 nights. Roaches found in childs bedroom. Hotel would not return money for the first night but refunded the other two. We found a room at Courtyard Marriot. That place is FANTASTIC and it was cheaper!
We stayed three nights at this hotel. It is very clean; the room and the grounds. The breakfast room is wonderful. It is conveniently located for all the activities in Pigeon Forge with several restaurants within walking distance. Close to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. We had a great time.
We have stayed several times on this property. The Inn is very clean , we love the 3 pools. The staff, Brandon, Charlie and Sandra are friendly and helpful. We will be back next year for our 12 day stay.
Top Notch stay for sure. Clean and beautiful and in the prime spot to see Dollywood, minute away from Gatlinburg, etc. I will definintely stay again and I recommend everyone to stay here. I would not recommeed the inside pool rooms, too loud and such a chlorine smell but it's a great place to stay!!
Stayed two nights. Room doors open to the outside, but there is an elevator if you do not care to use the stairs. This is a large complex. The breakfast room is a building on to itself. There were many tables and counters to eat at and they did a good job of keeping the food supplied. Both hot and cold items. The staff was helpful when you had a question. They were efficient and polite. The room was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. This is next door to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede.
Stayed in the king suite (301), and found bed bugs. Manager tried to convince me in was a roach or a carpet beetle. They told me corporate made them remove bed bug protectors. Make sure to check beds!
Since the motel we normally stay in was full, we chose this motel because of its TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed. The front desk staff won our hearts when they noticed our age and our online reservation for 12 days and gave us a ground level room that allowed us to park in front of the room. The king bed room gave the two of us plenty of room to enjoy the table area for both of our laptops. Through the entire stay we were tremendously impressed with the attention the housekeeper Fatina gave to our room. She kept it cleaned, well stocked, and for the first time in any of our motel stays, she even changed the bed linens at least once. We also were impressed that she would greet us in passing, wave to us when she saw us drive in or out, and on the morning we left she took a moment to say “good-bye.” She and the friendly lady who keeps the breakfast table area spotless and the hot coffee full made us feel at home the entire stay. There was plenty of hot water in the room, excellent air conditioning, plenty of choices on the cable TV, and a wifi system that did not have to be signed into every two or three days. The wifi met our needs though it would slow down a little at heavy traffic hours—especially Mother's Day evening. The refrigerator kept everything cold, and the microwave worked well. The beds are firm, which I enjoy, but my wife enjoys one less firm. The breakfast was very good. The orange juice and the coffee, especially, were as good as we have had anywhere and better than most. Several folks mentioned while we were there about how good the breakfast coffee is. They have a guest laundry room on the second floor of the section in which we stayed. It has two washers and two dryers, reasonably priced, is well air-conditioned, and can be accessed by either the stairs or a ramp that seems suitable for wheelchairs. We really enjoyed our stay.
We had one best Stays we have had at best Western The rooms were clean the breakfast this what good was quiet the staff was excellent and we will be back at this best western. The grounds were clean the office was clean the hotel was immaculate we enjoyed our stay.
This is the only place we will stay at. We love it there. We always stay in there pool house and its always been very clean people are great there for the people behind check in to the house keepers. LOVE this place. It offers a breakfast in the morning for free. For my family it fills them up till mid day. The pool house rooms have a fire place that is gas and can warm the room. Each room there has a microwave and fridge. Big rooms and like I said very clean. We have familys down there and even when we are not doing the shows or what not this is the place we stay. Even when my family needs me down there I will drive the 20 miles extra to stay there then in Knoxville. This trip was a last min lets go down there tomorrow for a overnight. we live up in northern Indiana.
Great stay and great value! The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast area was clean and the food was good with a decent variety. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.
Have stayed here before. Hotel is clean and nice but they would not accept my Visa Gift Card as payment. I called and verified that there was money on the card. Keep in mind if you stay here you cannot use a gift card. It will get declined.
Clean, comfortable, lots of parking. Close to nearby restaurants. rooms have balconies.Breakfast was good and hot. We had an enjoyable stay. not too far from attractions and close to the Interstate for a quick start in the morning.
We had a very nice stay at best western plaza inn. The rooms were clean and quiet. Staff was friendly, but we had little reason to interact with them. breakfast was good quality. The wifi worked without issues.
Outside green not the most appealing color,doors need to be refit. Breakfast was good need to change up menu. You have to walk around room to get your coffee other side to get your waffle. go to front of room to get eggs or whatever you want.
Very happy with everything! We have stayed here since the early 1970's. Overall we have probably spent a year in these rooms. Several years at Christmas time we brought the whole family and booked 4-5 rooms each time. WE WILL BE BACK! Keep up the good work.
Stayed here for Spring Break. Very clean and close to everything. The kids loved that the pools are open later than most and that there are pool options to choose. Great views of the mountains and river.
It was 4 years ago that we stayed here, & we enjoyed it so much that we returned!! If you are looking for a Best Western this place is for you. Its your average rooms, indoor & outdoor pools but the best by far is the breakfast area!! They actually have a separate building for your breakfast. Its a cafe!! Not attached to the lobby, or not a breakfast nook where you are all crowded in but a nice size cafe. Plenty of indoor seating or you can sit on the patio (also plenty of tables). A wide variety of breakfast items from biscuits & gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, & oatmeal right from the crock pot, plus much much more!! You won't be disappointed!! A great way to start your day visiting the Smokey Mountains or what ever adventure your day may take you too!!
I chose this motel because it had great reviews and now I see why. This place has a great location, clean room, delicious breakfast, friendly staff and a quick check in and check out process. I will definitely be staying here again and would recommend this to anyone! I was so impressed!
We booked a wedding chapel for April 20th before we book a room not knowing that it was Hot Rod Weekend. I could not find a motel room anywhere in Pigeon Forge. I called Best Western Plaza Inn in Pigeon Forge told them my situation and Sandra help me to get a room. We were very thankful and I would recommend Best Western Plaza Inn to anyone who wants to stay in Pigeon Forge.
This hotel was by far the worst place I've stayed pretty much ever. My family travels at the minimum every 3 months and never experienced a room like this. The minute you walk in the non-smoking room, a smoke smell over takes you. The floor in the bathroom was dirty and sticky. Stuff was all over the tub and hair was left in the sink. The beds - you get warmer and more comfortable blankets in the ER at a hospital. FYI Mountain View means parking lot and building view with Mountains somewhere off in the distance. I am ashamed to have paid over $200 for a room at this place. By the time we got in from our daily activities it was too late to be able to complain and change rooms as the hotel appeared to be sold out so my husband made me deal with it....
Our room was very roomy with a fireplace and jacuzzi tub. It is right next to the Dixieland stampede and near Dollywood and the Titanic museum. Good value for the price. Breakfast was good. Only downside is the beds were advertised as queen but were double beds.
Nice complex, clean room. Rude female at service counter upon check in and rude females while obtaining breakfast. Other than that good stay, close to many attractions including dolly parton, many many arcades, I recommend going to
We will be back. We travel a lot and this was our first time at Best Western. It was clean, nice, lots of room and convenient to everything. We had good sleep with the beds. It had lots of parting. We enjoy staying there and will be back. Very helpful and clean
Had excellent service and accommodations. Breakfast was appropriate for the venue. Location was easy to get to and close to attractions and restaurants . Would definitely recommend this place to friends.
My daughters hotel room was disgusting. The sheets had blood and hair on them. The toilet had feces on it and it was plugged. Hair was all over in the bathroom. The food in the dining room was not very good. It was very limited on choices and it was the same thing every single day. The eggs tasted like a salt lick. They did not have a very good selection of fresh fruit. The cereal was cheerios and they were stale
We stayed at the Plaza inn for three nights. The room was clean and the amenities were working. We did have a problem with the internet, during peak hours. We figured that that was because everyone was using it at the same time. There were two timers in the bathroom. One was for the tub and the other we could not figure it out. We never called the desk to ask. The only problem that we were not happy with was during our stay, there were a bunch of teenagers at the hotel (Spring Break). They were making noise at 2:00 am. Again, we never called the front desk to complain. We have stayed here before and we would stay here again when we come back down to the area.
Nice hotel but, they need adult swim times. Could not enjoy the pool because of rude kids. The wifi could not be accessed in our room. If we left the room we could access it then. We will give it another try to stay but will request a different room.
We checked right in and went to our room. It was a clean room with pretty good queen beds. The bathroom was clean too. I would recommend this place to stay. It has a heated outdoor pool and an indoor pool. They had a third pool in the front that was empty when we arrived but it was full when we left. The staff was friendly. It is walking distance to several restaurants and Dollywood Stampede Show. The only thing that we had trouble with was the internet dropping but we did not contact the front desk.
We travel as 2 adults no kids or pets. We usually stay at the other Best Western when staying in Pigeon Forge but this one is just as nice. We had a nice simple check in and rooms were ready early the lobby is open 24 hours with fresh coffee. I think we checked in around 2ish. We used our AAA discount and felt like we scored for less than $70 out the door. We requested an atrium room and were given room 124 so we could walk right out of the room and into the pool area and what little noise there was didn't bother us a bit because the pool closes at 10 and we were using the hot tub most the time anyway. But when we walked in the room we were both pleasantly surprised by how clean and nice the room was. I couldn't get over how clean the carpet was for being a pool side room. The furniture also looked to be new. I saw that they were replacing carpet in rooms and that both Best Westerns (which are directly across the street from each other) have the same owners so that explains why they are both in such good condition. This is a great location there are restaurants, shopping and plenty of entertainment within walking distance and there are convenient trolley stops right by the hotel for things that are a little farther away than you might feel comfortable walking to and you can just leave your car in the hotel lot and not have to worry about finding parking. So yes ladies you can wear those shoes! I like to walk one way and catch the trolley back and then do the other side of the road the next day. You're close to the Smokey Mountain Park also which is an easy scenic drive, we saw a baby bear in the woods, yay they're awake! Our room was squeaky clean, really from what I saw it looks like a team of people work together so it's done right! The beds were very comfy new or newer clean furniture, beds and bedding. This is an older building but is being completely renovated and you can tell it's been very well taken care of. We slept so good, but like I said they are redoing sections at a time so the only thing I can think of is if you are wanting to really sleep in (after 8am) then ask for a room away from the construction. There was a fridge, microwave, ironing board, iron, hairdryer and plenty of nice towels and towels are available in the pool area too. I mentioned the indoor atrium but they also have an outdoor pool, a 1' kids pool and another hot tub that are seasonal I'm presuming and Im not sure if they are open but should be very soon if not. They also offer free breakfast with both indoor and outdoor seating. We didn't eat breakfast but I believe it was from 6-10. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to family and friends. If my review was helpful please hit the helpful vote button and if you have any questions I will try to answer them. As always safe and happy traveling!!
We stay here often and we have a good experience every time. It is close to everything you might want to do in the area and it is a very clean hotel. It has been renovated and the staff is always friendly and willing to help make you stay here a pleasant one.
This hotel is in a great location! Right next door to the Stampede and close to the entrance into Gatlinburg. The River Rd runs right behind it, so learn to use it and other backroads to avoid the Parkway traffic! As for the hotel it's self, it provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, the breakfast is about what you'd expect from a complimentary hotel breakfast. The line can get long in the morning, so I recommend going before or around 8. We stayed in a room connected to the indoor pool, which is convenient with kids and cool days. The echo from the pool area does radiate into your room, but they close it down at 10:30 and all is quiet. There is also 2 outdoor pool areas. One was not open yet, but the other was and is heated. We would definitely stay here again in the future!
Great place to stay! Right in the center of everything! Breakfast was wonderful. Sometimes very busy, but food was great. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We were able to go everywhere we wanted with ease.
This hotel was a great choice and provided adequate service. The place was booked solid for spring break, yet all of our needs were met. We will most likely choose this hotel again should we choose to visit the area again.
Very clean and centrally located. Breakfast and indoor pool were great! Front Desk and Housekeeping was on top of everything. I would recommend this property to business, family, and event travellers.
The hotel was generally very clean. My room was clean and smelled nice. I'm normally a picky sleeper, especially when it comes to pillows, but the pillows here were really nice. I had no trouble at all sleeping. The front desk staff was friendly. I never really saw or interacted with the housekeeping staff, so I can't speak for that. The room was nice and clean, though, so they did a good job. The free breakfast was good. They had a nice variety. Eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, regular and skim milk, coffee, juice, cereal, bagels, yogurt, and chocolate and powdered mini donuts. The breakfast area was a little crowded, but that's okay. Check-in and check-out was a smooth, quick process. The indoor pool area was nice, well-stocked with towels both times we went. This hotel is right next door to Dolly Parton's Stampede on one side and a Top Jump trampoline park on the other. The kids enjoyed the trampoline park. There are several restaurants and attractions very close by in walking distance. Very nice location, very quiet also for being right on the main road. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone wanting an affordable hotel that is centrally located in Pigeon Forge. Just about a 10 minute drive to Gatlinburg.
Overall friendly and accommodating experience. The staff was helpful and exhibited a positive attitude. Wonderful customer service! The room was clean and well managed. My family and I ended up extending our stay and it was a enjoyable experience.
This hotel is on the big side but has some quiet rooms away from the strip on the back that also gives you good,easy access to getting in and out. Yes they have a free breakfast in a stand alone room. It has hot biscuits, eggs, waffles, etc. It does get crowded but stays open from 7-10 everyday. They nicely have 3 pools. An indoor that you can have rooms open into and two outdoor ones. Only the indoor is open now. Both outside ones have shallow little ring pools about 1' deep for young children. The rooms are nice size and can comfortably handle a family of 4. They also have bigger rooms for bigger family sizes. This is a not a plush hotel but is always clean with marvelous, comfy beds and bedding.
This is hotel is very clean and quiet. The staff are very helpful and will go out of their way to make you fell like you are at home. It is very easy to get in and out of the hotel. You can go out the back of the hotel to get on the main road with out any problems. They have a very good breakfast there is something for everyone. This hotel is very convenient to Dollywood and all of the shows in Pigeon Forge. It is in walking distant to a lot of restaurants. My family enjoyed out stay here because out Mom is handicap and this Best Western is one of the few that have a real handicap room. The handicap rooms have roll in showers for handicap people and it makes it very easy for the handicap to take a shower and the bathroom is very large. The only thing is that they handicap room is by the outside pool. We have never stayed here in the summer and we do not know how loud it gets by the pool.
The hotel is in a very good location right next to the Dixie Stampede and on the main drive thru Pigeon Forge. It was very clean and well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly upon check in and it was quiet and peaceful.
We stayed here in a short trip through Pigeon Forge. The BW is right beside the Dixie stampede. It is in a great location to visit many pigeon forge attractions. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Good breakfast included with room to get the day started. The front desk clerk even had coupons for some of the attractions we wanted to visit. Very clean room. A super hotel period.
We have stayed here for years and have always had excellent stays. Always clean and very helpful staff. Have indoor pool rooms great for the kids. About a 10 minute drive to Dollywood. Rooms are also very spacious.
The experience reminded me of Chevy Chase's National Lampoon's Vacation other than it was not funny. The rooms were over priced, out dated, and smelled like old smoke even though they are non-smoking.
We recently stayed here for the opening weekend of Dollywood. Being that we've never stayed in one of the older hotels in the area, I was a little skeptical seeing some of the reviews. The couple we were with had stayed there several times so we went ahead and booked. It appears that they have recently updated the rooms. Fresh coat of paint, new carpet, new vanity and flat screen tv. Breakfast was good as well. It consisted of sausage, eggs, biscuits, gravy, cereals, bagels, toast, peaches, grits, oatmeal and waffles that you make yourself. We had an indoor pool room which overlooks the indoor pool. Only issue with this type of room is that you hear the noise from the pool if people are in it early and the humidity from being inside of the building with the pool. The only major issue we had was the AC wasn't working. After stopping in at the desk at noon to let them know and arriving back at 3 to find it wasn't fixed was disappointing. Called again and maintenance came right over and "fixed it". We left again and when we arrived back around midnight we find that it's not working again. Called again and maintenance came right over again. This was a different guy and determined that there was no Freon in the unit. So, at 12:30 in the morning, he's changing out the unit. He did apologize that it wasn't corrected earlier (he wasn't the one working when we originally called). The only other issue is that the bath towels are very small, they barely covered the 2 year old with us. Would stay here again though.
Very friendly staff and property is extremely clean. We stayed in one of the refurbished rooms and it was very modern & clean. Beds could have been a little softer. Indoor pool was operational and very roomy. They do have a continental breakfast in the morning which was filling. My parents use to bring us to this property many years ago and now I'm bringing my children. It has not lost the home away from home touch with the staff. Can't wait to stay again next time I'm in the area.
We have been coming to Pigeon Forge for 37 yrs once or twice a year. The first 20 to 24 yrs we would always try a new Motel/Hotel each time we came down. About our 25th year we stayed across the road from the Plaza Inn to what once was call Smoky Mountain Resort, it had changed hands a few times over the years and we were there during all the changes until one time no room was available, so we came to Plaza Inn and have never left it since. It became my home away from home for about 17 yrs. Everyone that works there can not be more friendlier, right up the ladder to the manager, Mike. Always well kept clean rooms,and an awesome breakfast (a FULL plate breakfast, not just rolls and coffee). I have always requested the same room and by luck have always gotten it. Great rates for such big rooms and on top of great rates, they make it even better on their website, they offer coupons for 10 and 15% on your stay. I even had a Group Gathering there once and on the Marguee they had welcome myself and my Singing Group. This motel is well deserving of a 5 star. Kudo's to Mike and his Staff ! Looking forward to my June visit this year.
My stay at this hotel was going well until some of my things were taken from my room while i was out. Fortunately, I purchased a new wallet and moved all my important items in to the new one. My old wallet, and a few less important cards such as Costco membership, AAA membership, a $25 gift card were stolen as I couldn't fit them all in the new wallet, I also had some medication stolen. I received a nice email apology from management and it was quickly dismissed without any resolve. BEWARE! THERE ARE DISHONEST PEOPLE WORKING FOR, OR CONTRACTED BY THIS HOTEL!
Stayed here to visit Dollywood. Right next to the Dixie Stampede. Rooms were a great size for a family of 4 and staff were friendly and helpful. We were here for 3 nights and kids made use of pool. If we came to Pigeon Forge again we would be happy to stay here again.
It was a very nice room with a fireplace. We just flipped the switch and got cozy. We were celebrating my daughters 14th birthday and the staff went above and beyond to get us plates and forks so we could finish the celebration in our room.
Best Western Plaza Inn is a great and well priced place to stay. This was our second visit. Nice, spacious rooms and very clean. Friendly staff and great location!! I will definitely use this hotel again.
My husband is working in pigeon forge, I decided to come and stay a few nights with him. This hotel is clean comfortable and the room is amazing. The staff has been nothing but kind and professional. Our housekeeper Kathy is the best! She was kind, helpful and did an amazing job.
They are redoing some rooms. Our room was very large and had a fireplace in it. Probably the largest hotel room I have ever stayed in. I wasn't paying so don't know if it cost extra. Breakfast was about your average hotel breakfast. The room was right next to the pool. This was awesome because our toddlers could play a little more freely. UNTIL the weekend when more people showed up!!! Then, there was so much noise from others playing in the pool. Imagine trying to get two toddlers to sleep with all that noise. He pool is supposed to close at 10:30 but didn't till about 11. It was a long night. Other than this one detail, our stay was very nice and pleasant. Staff was friendly.
My husband and I checked in for a weekend trip. The room was lovely. It was very neat and clean. It smelled wonderful too. The inn was almost full. The noise level wasn't as loud as I thought it might be will an almost capacity crowd. The front desk folks were helpful and kind. The housekeeping staff did a wonderful job. The beds were very comfortable and we slept very well during our stay. We highly recommend the Plaza Inn.
Love coming here! Clean rooms, laid back quiet and we always enjoy the pools year round! Staff is great and the price is fair. Breakfast is always good and clean area. Me and my wife feel like it has become our second home!
Just stayed one night. The hotel breakfast was excellent, the indoor pool was nice. I had a room close to the office. It was clean but dated. I would stay here again. If you do stay, suggest a room facing the indoor pool.
The room we stayed in had plenty of room and was okay, but it needed a little updating. The breakfast was good, but the area for eating was a little small and was quite crowded, I didn't get to try out the pool. There is an indoor one and two outdoor ones. It is very convenient to all the things on the main strip in Pigeon Forge.
The lady at the front desk was awesome. My husband had the flu and she gave us a room next to the indoor pool where my kids just had to walk out of the room. our housekeeper was great and brought us fresh towels every morning with out us having to ask... I cant remember her name but she said she was the house keeper for the first floor of the pool room area. She was awesome, friendly. Everyone we ran into there was very welcoming. Rooms were large, spacious and beds were comfortable. Breakfast was good and lots of choices. Cant wait for our summer trip.
This place is average. We have stayed here twice. The first stay was better than this past stay. Very noisy with the housekeepers pushing carts outside of doors. You can hear doors slamming and people talking through the walls. The laundry room was right next to our room and you could hear the water running and the washers spinning. I'm not sure if this was just the room we had this time around but the noise was horrible for people like us who are late risers. The main reason we stayed here was for the indoor pool. I asked for a room next to the pool and the guy at the desk told be the room was close to it but in all reality it was not. We had to pack up all our winter coats etc to take to the pool so we didn't freeze going back to the room when we were done. This would not have been that big of a deal if I didn't have a 5 year old or the fact that it was only 20 degrees if that outside. Also the indoor pool was cold and the deepest point of the pool is 4 ft. The beds were not comfortable at all. I woke up every morning with a backache. The drain in the sink did not drain and the shower temperature kept changing while I was showering. I'm not sure if we will be staying again.
Not recommended. The carpet smelled, I had allergies during my stay. Roaches, and found hairs on the bed underlinings. Had to run to the pharmacy and buy Lysol. I rented 2 adjacent rooms for my family.
Clean and comfortable, bath a little small and dated. Indoor pool was clean but good be a little warmer, spa was nice and hot. Breakfast was good but can get a little tight with all the rooms in this hotel.
We love BW Plaza Inn. The hotel is so big although it doesn't appear to be from the road. The pool area is very nice. Rooms are spacious and well decorated. My only recommendation would be a toilet and bath tub update as they appear to be a little older but are still very clean. Bedding is clean and decently comfortable for a hotel. I appreciate the pillows, they're really great. In room fridge and microwave work great and are very clean. Prices are very reasonable for location and amenities. Cheapest I've found in PF. We love BWPI and sister prosperity Toni Inn and will be back!
Great price, great room, very clean. Hotel staff was very friendly, close to Dixie stampede, only one hotel in between. Most all other hotels were over 200 per night, this was only around 140 a night.
One of the best weekends and the nice room made it that much better. We had a balcony room right on the river there wasn't a lot of noise the rooms were clean and nice. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this hotel
Hotel is very clean and the room seemed to be newly renovated. Grounds were very well kept. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed was somewhat comfortable, but I have back issues. The location is excellent. Easy access to the parkway and next door to Dixie Stampede.
First time staying here and enjoyed it very much. Staff friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Great breakfast. Located in the heart of Pigeon Forge and close to restaurants and attractions.
One night stay convenient to entertainment, food and shopping. Was perfect four our family of four (with 2 teens making up the four). Breakfast, although fairly typical for hotel, was nicely presented, room where served was comfortable and food was at a good temperature.
was a good stay niece liked indoor pool.We liked staying inside pool area.Have stayed at Best Western Plaza before.We try to stay with them when in area.We will come back and stay again.Good place to take the family to,they will enjoy it.
We were in town for a quick weekend stay, with no hotel to stay at, when we stopped here. What an excellent choice! Reasonably priced, excellent customer service and clean room. The bed was so comfy and the breakfast was good. We've been to the area several times and this by far is one of the best kept secrets. We will be back!!!
Hotel staff is friendly. Indoor pool is small. We were only ones in it at the time, but could easily become crowded. Breakfast food is very good, but the area is very small and crowded. Great location to everything you would want to see or do. Don't waste money on rooms with a view unless you want to view other buildings.
Have enjoyed staying here for the last 4 years. My wife and I come here at least two times a year and the rooms are very nice and up to date. Staff is very accommodating. The price on the rooms are reasonable and the location of the hotel is central to where we like to go in Pigeon Forge.
wasted trip, room was not pleasant to stay in, no water in sink could not flush toilet for hours heater kept waking us up, used bottled water to brush teeth. We were not told the pool was 50yards across the parking lot we had to walk in December.
The room was awesome! The staff was great! We booked the king room with a fireplace and jacuzzi and it was AMAZING! Super clean room, and the bed was beyond comfortable! Would recommend this place to anyone! We will be staying again!!
We stayed in room 330. We chose the third floor so it would be more quiet and we would have less foot traffic by our room. We were able to get into our room a little earlier than check-in time (checked in around 2:30pm). The room was clean, tidy, and everything worked. The bed was comfortable. The air unit has a "constant fan" option that gave us a good bit of white noise. Parking is plentiful. Breakfast is included but we didn't eat it - let's get real - you have to eat at Crockett's Breakfast Camp, Paula Deen's, or Mama's Farmhouse when you are in this area. The walls are a little thin and we could hear the TV in the next room in the evening. Our own TV and the constant fan option covered up that noise though, and the noise didn't bother us (we just noticed it). This is definitely an older motel that has been updated many times with paint. The bathroom had several colors in it - old yellow tile, painted door. Bathroom light switch plate and bathtub fixtures have not been updated in a long time. The hotel provides a Pantene 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner and bar soap only - no body lotion, no liquid body wash. Plenty of towels and wash cloths. The elevator made terrible screeching noises around the second floor and there was no inspection form in the elevator (or note saying it was available in the office). Although this isn't going to replace our go-to hotel option in Pigeon Forge, we would stay here again for a night or two. It's a good option for a quick weekend trip.
We have stayed at his hotel many times and are always treated to a friendly staff and clean rooms. It has all the needed amenities and great rates too. There are three pools for the kids to enjoy and a great morning breakfast for the family.
Was very happy with cleanliness and presentation of the room and helpfulness of the staff. Only disappointment was the free breakfast but really didn't stay there for that option. Will stay here again!
My husband and I did a mini getaway. Our room was better than we expected. We loved the double jacuzzi, the fireplace was great & the sound of the creek was relaxing. We will be back for a longer stay!
The Plaza Inn is one of our two go-to places to stay in Pigeon Forge when we are up in December. This is a good basic Best Western that is clean, conveniently located with a free breakfast. The beds are okay and there are tons of pillows to choose from. The breakfast area is clean, well stocked and has a good variety of hot and cold items (biscuits, gravy, sausage, eggs, bear-shaped waffles, oatmeal, grits, cereal, pastries, doughnuts, coffee, milk, juices, hot chocolate). Overall, it is a great value for the price and I highly recommend it if you are looking for clean, no-frills accommodations.
My mother, myself & my two sisters came to Pigeon Forge to do some Christmas shopping & see the lights @ Dolly wood. We arrived earlier then check in time but thought we would see if we could go ahead & check in so my mother could rest a couple hours before we went back out shopping & seeing the lights. We were able and was so glad. The clerks were very nice. The room was great.
We stayed in a room next to the pool. Very clean room, Comfortable bed. Indoor pool can stand to be a little warmer in December. Close to all the events. Need more Handicap spots next to the other building.
We have been going here for years and we love it. This year the motel rooms were updated, although they were nice before. Now they are really nice. They remodeled the breakfast room, where more people can eat at one time. The decor was changed and it really looks great. This motel is located in an area that is close to a lot of attractions. The staff is great. The rooms are spacious and clean. Will be going back next year. Our room was on the back of the building we could see the Christmas lights on the mountain. We try to get a room on the top floor, so we could see the lights on the mountains.
The hotel is on the strip which makes it easy to get on to Parkway. A stones throw from Dixie Stampede and minutes from any attraction. The rates from Sunday-Thursday are very reasonable, though they did jump Friday and Saturday. We stayed in the back section which is 5 stories and has interior entries to the rooms away from the elements and they had nice size balconies. Overall pleasant experience.
Because our room was on the top floor of the rear building with a balcony where we could see the mountain, it was so serene and quiet. The room was clean and nicely decorated since it had been newly renovated. The price was very affordable.
We were late booking for the Thanksgiving week and booked the Best western, the room was dated but clean comfortable and served the purpose. I generally prefer a newer motel but the staff was friendly and as previously mentioned the accommodations were clean.
We have stayed at this motel in the past and were impressed with the way the motel is maintained. Enjoyed this trip as well. The grandkids enjoyed the indoor pool which is a plus. Will stay here again if the occasion arises.
The room was exactly what we were expecting. The beds were very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was eggs and biscuits and gravy. The pool was across the parking lot. It was a little chilly making it from the indoor pool to our room without being cold.
Great location. Restaurants within walking distance. Clean rooms and comfy beds. Jump place for kids next door. Hot tub and indoor pool awesome! We stayed 2 nights and it was a wonderful place. Dollywood is just 2 miles away.
Pluses: Indoor swimming pool and hot tub. Big breakfast. Elevators to upper floors. Close to attractions Not so plus: The first room we stayed in smelled horrible. We tolerated it that night, but I couldn't take every breath being so foul. 1) I talked to the front desk, and they told us that line of rooms was the former smoking rooms, so old cigarette odor in everything was what we were smelling. I think we should have been told that at check-in considering when you stay in a "no smoking" hotel, you shouldn't have to deal with the leftovers from the gross habits of others. In the second room, we were able to finally breathe without worrying so much about our health. One night of hell with two nights of acceptable is about typical for us. 2) Even though the rooms are non-smoking, there are many people who smoke on the balconies next to your room. Since your ventilation unit draws from outside, it just sucks that right into your room and turns non-smokers into smokers. 3) At 3:00, all the housekeeping leaves. So there were no pool towels for any of the guests. I walked over to the office and carried a big stack to the pool and they were gone in 5 minutes. Other hotels overstock pool towels for just this situation so that guests aren't the ones having to do this. 4) The internet is not up to current standards. Very slow and cuts out. When we were watching TV, it also kept cutting out. Definitely needs to be upgraded.
Front desk staff was excellent during check-in and checkout. Rooms were spacious and clean. Breakfast was of high quality. The grounds were kept clean. The only issue we had was smoke detector was going off but the maintenance staff took care of it immediately. I recommend this hotel.
I had not been to the Smoky Mountains for years but my family has been going. My mother recommended Pigeon Forge over Gatlinburg, and after arrival I realized - my parents are very car-oriented - they don't walk much. Pigeon Forge is all about driving up and down the strip; Gatlinburg puts pedestrians higher than traffic, which means the traffic can be slow and frustrating. In that vein, the Best Western Plaza Inn (Pigeon Forge) has a number of buildings, two swimming pools, a large parking lot and... well, you can walk along the road behind along the creek - very nice. But to walk anywhere else on the strip is an exercise in dodging cars. It is an easy walk to Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede - practically next door and on the same side of the street. Enough about the traffic... We were very happy to have a room with a balcony that overlooked the creek. It was very pleasant to sit on the balcony (two patio chairs provided). Our room also had a fireplace, but we never figured out or asked if we could use it. Just downstairs adjacent to the pool was another outdoor fireplace with plenty of chairs - we thought about inviting other family members there, but ended up meeting at places other family members were staying. The free breakfast was on the high end of standard self-serve motel fare. Staff was very friendly. We stayed a number of nights and our room was kept up very well. Most of the other visitors were 50+ in age when we were there. We were there long enough to have one neighbor that was a bit noisy, but the room was nicely quiet all the other nights. Since other family members were spread among three other locations, we spent a lot of time driving to them and to the park, but the Inn was conveniently located for this with easy parking.
Rarely do you get a hotel in a great location that is super clean with amazing views for less than $100 a night. Check in was fast and efficient. The room was clean and well appointed. Located right next door to the Dixie Stampede, and also with a convenient back street exit for faster travel if you don't want to go on the parkway.
Nothing to brag about here, about the same as your average run of the mill hotel compared to other low end hotels. Beds were hard, small uncomfortable pillows, some electrical outlets in the room did not work.
Great room. It always smelled and looked very clean. Sandra at the front desk was great! Breakfast was really good and most staff were very friendly! Only 2 issues: 1. We got a room with a “fireplace”, but we're unable to use it because they don't light the pilot light(not sure what they said lol) until December-ish. Not really a big deal. 2. When we got back to our room one night to shower, we realized we had no wash cloths at al, so we called the front desk-who told us to come get them at the front desk(mind you our room was at the very back). We didn't mind because we figured there was just 1 person working the desk and had to stay there. When we got to the lobby there were 5 people standing behind the desk. I have no idea why there were so many at 8pm, but hey not my business. I just feel like one of the five of them who were just standing there could've brought us a few was cloths. ??
Our stay in the Best Western Plaza Inn, this was a good stay, the motel is located about mid section of the strip, which is a good location, rooms are nice, ours had a fire place and a jet tub, this an older motel but pretty much update, our bed was uncomfortable needed a new mattress ,room was large and faced the street, no elevator ,large parking area, the breakfast had most of the regular items, that motels have , nothing speacial
Always pleasant to stay at this motel. People are so nice and helpful. We enjoy the convenience to other locations where we do business. We like the rooms in the back with a Mountain View The Christmas lights are beautiful and we enjoy all the shopping and the mountain scenery.
The hotel was conveniently located. About 100 yards from the Dixie Stampede. We stayed in the back building on the fifth floor facing the mountains..nice room..could have had a grab bar in the shower..needs a booster for the Wi-Fi signal to reach the back building with a steady signal
Very noisy between 7:00 & 10:30 pm. If you want a peaceful night in your room and early to bed with easy access to the indoor pool this is not your hotel. Breakfast area and quality was good, Overall service was good.
Our room was dirty hair all in the bed towels and shower. We asked for a manager they sent housekeeping manager who is extremely rude and tried to act like we were lying. First my husband has brown very short hair and I have blond so where did the long black hair come from. After she was rude to the point I asked for head manager and she said he was away and brought me the assistant Francis who really needs to go to Leadership classes. When Francis came in our room she already came with an attitude because of the housekeeper she didn't even want us to explain nor did she want to see it. She had her mind made up... Told me they could not make us happy and we should leave.... Funny thing all we wanted was someone to reclean our room.... Nastiest people I have met at a best western yet.... I would not recommend anyone to stay there. The owners really need to bring the girls from the sister property Toni Inn across to show this property how to treat guests....
We recently stayed at the BW Plaza Inn for our first time. We were extremely pleased. The property as a whole was extremely clean, as our room was also. The complete stay was very friendly and always pleasant. We had ample parking. Breakfast was very nice (eggs, Canadian bacon & sausage, gravy, biscuits, instant oatmeal, pastries, bagels, toast, juice, coffee with to go cups) We will return for sure! Our only recommendation would be to have coffee available all day. We stayed in another hotel down the parkway and they kept it all the time in the office area. We had a tiny pot in the room but would have enjoyed having it already brewed.
This hotel was about average. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean. The location was also a plus as it is on the parkway with easy access to everything including the Dixie Stampede right next door. However, in the newly renovated section where we stayed there are five floors but only two of those floors have ice machines (floors 2 and 4). This was a little inconvenient. Also in the vending machines area you either got drinks or snacks, not both on one floor. You had to go from floor to floor to get what you wanted. There was very poor lighting in our room so I am assuming they are all that way. Luggage carts were also very scarce. For five floors of rooms there were only three carts. Not enough. Oh, and by the way DON'T pay extra for a room with a balcony view. Really not worth it!
Location is great and staff is excellent. Walking distance to many attractions, restaurants, shops. Rooms are good sized so you don't feel cramped. Enjoy sitting on balcony and watching people on the parkway.
My wife and I stayed here for a weekend getaway to the Smoky Mountains, we enjoyed ourselves and will be back. Only thing to be aware of in this area there are not a lot of taxis or ubers so keep that in mind when going out.
I got the 5th floor facing the mountains but it wasn't far from the river too. Got to see the morning sunrise. It's just a couple of minutes depending on traffic from Gatlinburg. Very clean, large bathroom, mini fridge and microwave and very quiet. Also, had a balcony. Highly recommend others to stay there.
It was very nice, people were friendly and courteous. Had to wait a while for our room to be ready, then our key didn't work, but they put batteries in the door and we were fine. The floor in the bathroom needed to be swept, there was a soiled wash cloth in the bathtub.
This property was excellent it was clean spacious and quiet. The desk clerks were very nice and helpful. we will definately stay here again on our next trip to the mountains. I was located right on the strip close to everything.
The room was very clean. The internet needs more access points to provide a better signal throughout the complex. I could connect but it was such a bad connection that I couldn't surf the internet. Trolly stop right in front of the motel.
Nice facility right in the mix. You can actually walk to the Patriots Point Ferry and take to Dollywood for 50 cents. Also walking distance to restaurants, etc. Only minus was a few gross stains on carpet. Good price for the area and compared to similar hotels
This room was awesome! Very big and clean, loved having the balcony. Beds were comfortable. Only negative about visit was poor WiFi connection. Staff was super friendly and overall appearance of hotel was nice.
Did not switch are sheets out daily. Parking absolutely not the best especially if you don't come in early. close inside pool too early. I have stayed here several times before and no problems, seems like they are cutting corners to try to save money. probably will find me another motel next time we go down. Stayed in cabin also before a whole lot cleaner.
I'm rating this property as Very Good even though we got NO MAID SERVICE after our second night. We wound up taking out our own trash and I had to go to the office to get fresh towels, soap, and toilet paper. As a Best Western Gold Elite Member, I found this disappointing. The room had been recently renovated and the exterior had been repainted recently too. The bed was comfy and each bed had four pillows, which was a plus. The breakfast was very good and it was a full breakfast with eggs, meat, a waffle station, etc. If you are going to Dollywood this is the perfect location! Also a great location if splitting your time between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg as it is near the Gatlinburg end of the Parkway.
We enjoyed our King bedroom. It was very large and had a balcony with two chair and a table facing The Parkway. The only downside of our room was the low commode in bathroom. It was kid height! The shower was great and the room was clean and bright. The breakfast room size is inadequate for the number of rooms this motel has. Breakfast was good but very crowded even early on the weekend. We also enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub.
This property is a great location if you are visiting Dollywood or plan to do things in both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We stayed three nights and enjoyed our stay. The rooms appeared to be have recently been redone, the exterior had a fresh coat of paint, and the breakfast was very good. Only complaint was the maid didn't come to the room the second day.
Very clean hotel. Breakfast was great. Eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, fruit, breads, and s Shoneys in walking distance if that's more your speed. Check in was a breeze. Friendly staff. Hope to stay here again. Plenty of parking.
Good place to stay, it is close to a lot of things you could walk to. Just need a little cleaning in places, the staff was very helpful and friendly. If you are going to the Dixie Stampede this is the place to stay. It was the quietest place I have stayed in a while. No garbage trucks at dawn! If you have children that like to swim, it has a great indoor pool.
We have been going to Pigeon Forge for years and always stay at the Best Western Plaza Inn. Everyone is so friendly and it's like home away from home for us. It's clean and one of the best continental breakfasts around. We enjoy sightseeing and antiquing and there are tons of shops for us to browse around in. If you have younger children or teens there is a lot of things to interest them also. Nothing beats the sight of the Smokies though, all ages enjoy the beauty they offer.
Been going to the Smokies for over 50 years and have stayed different places, but for the past 20 have stayed at the Plaza!! Great location, price, service, rooms, breakfast, and extras...Highly recommend it!!!
This place is GREAT very clean this time we stayed in the indoor pool rooms and usually when u stay somewhere like that u smell the pool in the room not here....... We have been return customers for atlest a yr never been unhappy with our stay....
This hotel is close to the Dixie Stampede and within walking distance of many restaurants. We also walked to the Island and the Old Mill area from this hotel. Nice size room, nice to have a fridge and microwave. They have an indoor pool but we did not use it. Very good breakfast with large assortment
very helpful at front desk a very Larger hotel nice drive to Great Smoke Mountains National Park bye pass misses Gatlinburg get gas before National Park go to Newfound Gap & Clingmans Dome then out to Cherokee.
Great Location, rooms were clean, Breakfast was very good. Hotel near many of the places you would typically visit. Plenty of parking. Very friendly staff. A little pricy but we needed a larger suite with 2 bathrooms and BW came thru for us on this.
Great place to stay. Everyone was real friendly and nice. Breakfast was good also. Close to attractions and very easy to get in and out the parking. Great views and walking distance to dinner and shows.
We always stay at the Best Western Plaza Inn in Pigeon Forge. We having been staying at this facility yearly for about 15 years now. Love it!! Great staff, clean comfortable rooms and a great breakfast at an affordable price.
Great customer service, awesome free breakfast, the breakfast area was convienant to rooms. Our room was cleaned everyday! The beds were very comfortable. Staff were very courteous and helpful during our stay.
if you stay here make sure you get a balcony room over looking the mountains and if you can get this room 591 it is on the corner of the building with a mountain and river view also has a Jacuzzi tub which is really nice. Breakfast was ok but if you want better go to the Old Mill just down the road.
I highly recommend this resort! It was right on the strip so you are close to everything. The rooms were very clean and the staff were friendly. The breakfast was great ! We stayed in the double queen with a loft. It had 3 beds and 2 bathrooms,
We stayed one night just a 2 day trip but this best Western made it special. Loved the view from the balcony just beautiful beds were comfortable. Room was clean with fridge n micro wave Pool areas were real nice n good landscaping. I especially enjoyed the seperate breakfast cafe I will definately stay again n recommend it. It was a good value Everyone was nice n helpful
The Beat Western was great, super nice, everything & everyone was really great & amazing, the breakfast was so wonderful, will definitely stay there again, the rooms was really clean and everything was very easy to get too
We were very pleased with the accommodations. I had stayed here previously but I friends had not, they were very impressed. We are planning another trip in November and have our reservations here again.
I usually stay at BW. This motel was about as close to excellent at is humanly possible in all categories one would want. The breakfast was served hot and fresh and although many people were accommodated, the service was excellent.
the rooms on the first floor have been redone and are extremely nice and clean. However the first room I was in was on the second floor needed to be redone. Had a smell like smoke. The indoor pool is extremely nice. Love the hot tub. Try and turn the waffles for breakfast.
We stayed here for a few nights for a short family getaway. We were very impressed and feel that the Best Western Plaza was a great value. The room was clean and in order, the 3 pools were great, and breakfast was good. No complaints and we will stay here again next time we are visiting the area.
Very good hotel, clean, reasonable rates with breakfast, and great location to LeCompte Convention Center, Dollywood, and Dixie Stampede or to Gatlinburg. Walking to good restaurants close by Would stay again.
We came to Pigeon Forge to see several shows, which we did. The location of the motel was perfect, easy to find driving down Parkway. We rented 3 rooms.... all the folks were very satisfied with the site and the staff was very helpful and great to deal with.
We were extremely pleased with our stay at the Best Western Plaza Inn in Pigeon Forge. The room was very comfortable, clean and decorated in good taste. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly. I know we plan to stay there on our future Smokies trips.
My family and I love this place we have stayed here several times and I have never found anything but the best. The rooms are great and so clean. The pools and hot tubs are always working and clean. All the staff is so friendly. We always look forward to staying here!!
One of the best places to stay in Pigeon Forge! Conveniently located and very close to everything we enjoy doing when visiting Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. The staff here is quite friendly and the property is very well maintained.
We have stayed in different places over the past few years, but nothing compares to Best Western to us. We have always had a pleasant stay and very few issues. Our favorite Best Western is the Plaza Inn Pigeon Forge TN:)
Well positioned to visit Pigeon Forge, just a stone's throw from Dixie Stampede and the beginning of the City if you come from the Mountains. Rooms well maintained and clean, basic amenities satisfactory. Friendly and helpful staff. However, being very large Hotel, the breakfast room is small and at some times chaotic. Recommended.
This hotel completely ruined our anniversary. We we supposed to have stayed there from September 8 through the 13. We got there late in the 8th, around 11 PM. When we got there we were informed that we could only have one parking spot, we had towed our motorcycle down on a trailer, and that they did not allow trailers on their lot (no where on their website nor best western.com stated this). We were told of a lot in which we could park it for 10 bucks a day, but when we got there, it was full. We went back to the hotel and told them that but the lady at the front desk did not care, but she didn't have a problem charging our account nor placing a hold on it for several hundreds of dollars. We never even saw the room nor even got a key, but was charged for a night, which I will dispute with both BW Corp and my bank. We had to turn around and drive another 7 hours back home through the night as they had, and still have, so much of our money tied up we couldn't stay anywhere else. And they've completely ruined our anniversary weekend as we don't have the funds to go do anything else due to their holds on our account. I am a BW employee and I will not recommend this hotel nor any other BW Hotel at this point.
We booked this stay last minute, which is very rare for this week in Pigeon Forge. We had a horrible experience our first night in town with a different hotel. This place was a huge breath of fresh air!! Newly renovated. Grounds are beautiful and spotless! Staff is amazing!! Jessica and Lonnie was always a huge help and Fatima kept us feeling right at home!! Breakfast was always hot with a good variety and the teddy bear waffle was a big hit every morning with one boy in particular. Thank you for a happy ending to a trip with a rocky beginning, we'll definitely be back!!
Had a great stay at this Best Western. It was close to all the attractions but at night the room was quiet. Like having the continental breakfast as I like to eat as soon as I get up. Had a good variety for whatever you preferred. Also a pool for you to relax in. Plenty to do and restaurants nearby. Great location
Service is always consistent and the staff is always smiling. Very close to all the major attractions, eating establishments, grocery stores, etc. Would highly recommend to anyone on a family trip, or on business. This hotel knows what they are doing and it shows.
Motel was very nice, clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Room was a good size. Breakfast was good, sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy, ect. They have 3 pools, 2 out side 1 inside. Right next to the Dixie Stampede.Like a 3 minute walk to it..
I booked and paid for my room months in advance for mine and my girl friends vacation, i asked for the room with the black Jacuzzi tub with steps leading up to it, it also had a kitchen and couch. I was told that it was the "honey moon suite" i called a week before we left to book an additional night and verfied again that i was getting that exact room and was told yes. we stayed 5 nights and as soon as we got to our room we noticed it was not the room i asked for when i booked, when i called the front desk and described the room i booked the lady said "oh thats our honey moon suite" i told her i know and she said that she could only get me in that rooom for my last 2 nights for another $130, asked for a manager who was on vacation but i spoke to who i assume was the assistant manager and she offered nothing and did nothing to correct the mistake that was made twice on their end, told me that people often call the jacuzzi room i got put in honey moon suites, and then told me some how when i called the number to their front desk to book both times i got someone at best westerns central office and they made the mistakes, the room was very nice even though it wasnt what i asked for, but their management will keep me from ever staying here and maybe any other best western again
Arrived after first hotel at Creekstone Inn had nasty accommodations. This hotel was very clean and comfy. Definitely a nice place to stay. Breakfast was tasty and parking was nice. Has these pools all very nice.
I enjoy my first time. Breakfast can be very busy and they close it down right at 10. So, get there as early as possible. The back way out is convenient for getting to Dollywood. I will be staying here again.
Very nice clean rooms. Breakfast was nice and very clean. Very nice stay, would definitely recommend. We will definitely come back to this Best Western when we visit Pigeon Forge again. Plenty of attractions and restaurants close by.
This is a good place to stay. The room is huge and the breakfast is good. We did have trouble with the housekeeping staff. They didn't cleanup our room one night and another day the made the bed with a pillow in the middle of it and the other pillows just stacked up on the bed as seen in the picture. After letting the front desk know the next day they did a much better job. I would recommend going here and I believe we would return also.
The Best Western Plaza Inn is great. the staff is very helpful and always great you with a smile. The location couldn't be better. Dollywood is only about five minutes away. Gatlinburg is a very short drive about 10-15 minutes. There are several restaurants that are within walking distance. The hotel has an indoor pool plus two outdoor pools. They offer a free hot breakfast in the morning with a very good selection. The is my home place when I in Pigeon Forge, Tn
My wife and kids (3 kids) traveled from the Atlanta metro area to this location to be able to view the solar eclipse of 2017. I booked our room (room 247) through my employers site (since it gave us a decent discount), we ended up booking a suite with a full kitchen. We booked this type of room because we wanted the ability to cook, since we were traveling with 3 children. We checked in on Aug 19th, and checked out the morning of the eclipse (to drive to nearby Maryville) on Aug 21st. My wife is a native southerner, and I'm an adoptive southerner, moved from Michigan in 2002. We both are aware that roaches are an indigenous bug to the SE United States. That being said, we did NOT expect to see these bugs in our room at all! My wife was the first to notice baby/mini-adult sized roaches in the kitchen area, which she informed me about. In the early morning hours of Aug 20th I encountered numerous roaches in the bathroom, one was in the bathtub, a few others were at the foot of the toilet. When my wife called the front desk (between 9-9:30am) to request more towels/bed sheets, she informed them of a roach issue in our bathroom. We didn't request any bug spray or an exterminator, due to our stay being so short, and not wanting our kids to be exposed to chemicals. Since we were only staying for a couple of days, my wife suggested turning on the bathroom lights while we slept. This was done to discourage any roaches from showing up in the bathroom again. One should never expect to have to keep lights on to discourage any roaches from showing up. Since my wife and I both know how quickly roaches will procreate, we had to throw ALL of our clothes (and our children's clothes) in the wash once we returned home. We did not want a semi-infestation in the hotel to turn into a infestation in our home. With all that being said, we will NOT be returning to this particular location in Pigeon Forge.
Hotel was clean and convenient to shops and entertainment . Rooms around pool showed heavy wear and in need of updating. Signs stated some rooms have been updated so hopefully all are scheduled for this. Internet was very spotty in the room . worked fine in breakfast area but amplifiers needed around indoor pool area rooms
Had a great stay during the Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion. The hotel was really better then we would have expected for the price. The reviews on Trip Advisor were why we chose the hotel and it did not disappoint! The only negative thing that happen was we left for the day on Saturday and when we returned our door was left ajar. I assume by housekeeping as they were the last to be in the room prior to our return. Luckily nothing was missing. I did notice when we left later that the door did not fully close on its own, so you had to pull it together. Honest mistake I am sure, so that is the reason it didn't affect my review of the hotel.
The only place I stay at in Pigeon Forge! The rooms are always clean, the staff are always friendly, beds are cozy ( I love the pillows), breakfast is good and they have 3 POOLS! The price is right and a great location!
The breakfast items at this hotel were the best on our trip. They have a large selection and the food tastes great. The rooms are well maintained and clean. I would stay here again if traveling nearby. The maintenance man brought us a hair dryer at 2 am. Very satisfied with this place.
We came for a 3 day/ 2 night family get away to see the Eclipse. Saw the positive reviews on Trip Advisor, and yes, our stay was just as pleasant as they say. Easy check in Saturday, and we got to pick our floor. The rooms are clean, spacious, modern. Loved having a fridge & microwave. Beds and pillows were comfy ( no sore backs). And shower was hot and strong water pressure. Even on a full weekend ( no vacancies) we had no problem parking each time we came and went. Since the strip has heavier traffic, we found the back entrance helpful to use ( River Road) for short cuts to Veterans Blvd ( to Dollywood) or Teaster Lane ( to go north to The Old Mill or The Island). There are 3 pools to choose from. We swam in the outdoor one in the front. Nice waterfall ( up to 6 ft) and great hot tub. We enjoyed the free breakfast ( eggs, biscuits, gravy, sausage, bacon) plus waffle maker, cereals, pastries, coffee, juice and more. Everything tasty. We would stay at this Best Western again. Thanks!
I like it very much. I ask to look at rooms before I take them but I stayed here last year an it did not disappoint last night. We like it here. Clean, friendly, good location an good price. Very nice breakfast an if feels safe.
Very upset to find a No Pet policy. One rule will take care of unruly pets: If your dog pees, poops and tears up property or barks excessively(2 complaints), you will and your pet will be asked to leave immediately and pay a 200.00 fee. I look forward to seeing this policy changed at the Plaza Inn. The bed had a small incline toward the head and the rooms could use a recliner or other soft chair.
This was probably about the 4th or 5th time staying at BW Plaza Inn and all have been great experiences. Yes it's an older hotel, but it has always been kept clean and good shape every time we have been there. All 3 Pools are nice. Staff are very courteous & helpful. Deborah Thomas was our room attendant during this last stay & she was wonderful! She was always available to help any of the guests when asked. We already have our next stay planned h booked at the BW Plaza!
Just reserve it already!! It really is as nice as it looks. With two separate outdoor pool options and indoor pool as well and 3 kiddie pools and 2 hot tubs to chose from. Comfy beds and clean rooms with a wonderful breakfast and serene setting, you can't go wrong. The only thing that could make it better is a workout room! Wonderful friendly staff as well!
I was asked to show my room key before I was allowed to eat breakfast the associate wasn't asking everyone I felt very dissatisfaction about this process there has to be better way to keep nonguest out of dining area
This is a very good hotel, the beds are comfortable and the pillows are divine. The rooms are large and although we had to have them re-clean our room because the young lady who cleaned it prier to us did not change the sheets (there was blood on one sheet) and she did not do the floors , there were food crumbs on the carpet. Two ladies came up and made it spotless.The Hot breakfast was great, biscuits & gravy, waffels, eggs ,meat, cereal ,fruit and other things. The dining room was large and seated many and there was also seating on the covered porch as well. Loved the breakfast. There were three swimming pools, how great is that?
Location, price and value. I need to say Friendly staff and caring owners too. Recently remodeled and it is a great refresh for a great place to stay. The GSM is close and all attractions are nearby too. We did not get up early this time but the breakfast has always been fresh, hot and well supplied.
Great time. Room a little dated but well kept. The breakfast was great. The gravy and biscuits are the best. Easy in and out, in Pigeon Forge that is important. Very quite. Staff was very helpful and polite. The three pools are wonderful, a little small but with three not crowded. Hot tub was just that HOT. Nice experience
We have stayed at this hotel many times !!! I love the townhouse rooms. Everyone goes out of there way to make your stay very pleasant... just wished the breakfast area was a little bigger ... but it is always clean and breakfast is good
Staff was great and gave us recommendation on why to do and where to eat. We went there for dolly wood and was cheap and close. Had a nice pool spent some time in. Cool set up with great rooms. Ours had jecusi tub in our bathroom all was clean, organized and nice! With everything how it was and everyone's attitudes being so friendly and nice would definitely recommend staying here for a great peaceful add to your getaway. Thank you
This is a nice hotel for families to stay. Rooms are nice & clean. The staff is helpful in the breakfast area. The staff in general are friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to stay while in the Pigeon Forge area.
Stayed for 2 nights, excellent room, excellent price! We had a riverview room, first floor, fireplace (which was a nice surprise!). Pool just outside the door....and 2 other pools on property. Excellent breakfast, including hot foods. Our new favorite place to stay in Pigeon Forge! Take the back exit out to River Road to avoid the traffic on the parkway, hop up to Patriot Park (parking is free), and jump on the trolley!!
Based our decision on trip advisor and was very disappointed. Had a mountain view room which was a beautiful view. Unfortunately the room was dirty, not vacuumed, even cleaned the bathroom floor twice (this was after housekeeping came in). Also housekeeping came in to clean, they left the hotel room door ajar! Went down to office to let them know how upset I was and they didn't seem to care. Mentioned I can talk to the manager in the morning. Well, when we checked out, the manager was nowhere around. I personally felt they could care less about us since we already had paid. The manager was "suppose to call me to talk about my experience with my recent stay" but it's been 4 days and haven't heard from Michael. Like i said they don't care....
It was a great stay. The staff was so helpful I had extra towels av able at check in. The breakfast was very good and the remodeling was a plus. I steal don't like the pillows. The three poles is a big plus for my grand son & the ground floor rely helps me.
Hotel offered 3 pools, 2 outdoors and 1 indoor. Very busy location with lots of kids everywhere! Right next to the trolley stop for getting around town or to Dollywood. Dixie Stampede was right next door. Rooms could use some upgrades, but overall our stay was enjoyable and convenient.
This hotel is a great value. It is in a great location. If you want a good view of the Smokey Mountains, you will need to request a room on the fifth floor. However, overall, this hotel is a great value.
I don't think this should be a 3 star hotel. It is a 2 at best. Everything was great at the front desk when we arrived. They even upgraded our room to a mountain view for free when I told them I thought it was an interior corridor hotel and it was really not - the building with the mountain views are interior corridor and she stated were recently updated. When we got to our room, there was dirt ALL OVER the foyer and bathroom floor. Like someone had worn work boots in there. I tried rubbing it with my foot to see if it was really dirt or just stained, nothing immediately came up so I just shrugged it off as stained. Later that night after washing my face, I had gotten water all over the floor so I used a towel to wipe it up and the towel ended up SO DIRTY. It was disgusting! We covered the whole floor with towels for the remainder of our stay. The bathroom door would stick because there is so much paint on it from the "update" they did on the room. The beds were not comfortable. And the a/c only had 2 settings - freezing cold or luke warm - which blew directly on you while you slept. I woke up each morning with a stuffy nose. You can also hear the room above you every.single.time. they flush the toilet or run water. It is LOUD. We could hear when housekeeping ran the sweeper in the room above us and below us. We will NOT be staying here again and I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone.
Overall this was a very good stay. The rooms where we stayed appeared to be recently remodeled and were large and very clean. The people working the lobby area were very friendly and check in was quick. While we did not spend time there, the pool near this building was very nice and families seemed to be having a great time. Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, rooms were large and very clean, beds were comfortable, location was good with access from the back and front of the hotel. We would have given this hotel an excellent rating were it not for two things: 1. Not all the rooms in the back building are mountain view. We booked this hotel and room type specifically because it said "balcony" and "mountain view." It was more expensive than some other hotels, but we booked this room to have a mountain view balcony. When we arrived we were put in a first floor room. The view out of that room was anything but mountain view. It was a view of the parking lot with buildings on all sides. Because the hotel was sold out that night we did not say anything. But the next morning we did go to the desk and shared our thoughts about these rooms being marketed as mountain view. She said it was just a designation for the "back building." She gave us a room on the 5th floor for the next few nights and the view from there was amazing. We were glad that they were able to move us. However, the rooms on the first and second floors of this building should not be marketed and rented as "mountain view." The rooms are nice, but they are definitely NOT mountain view and should not be rented as such. 2. Wi-fi was very hit and miss. At some times it worked very well, but at others it was hard to get connected. Overall our stay was good and we would stay here again. However, if you want a mountain view, you need to request an upper floor room on your booking.
We have stayed at this hotel several times, and if anything, this time was even better. Beds are so comfortable, and pillows are the best! Room was super-clean. Free breakfast provides many tasty options. We will stay here again, for sure!
staff was great,pools(3) were great ,rooms clean,room service was fantastic never had to ask for anything,room service was around 10 every morning,maintanance was out standing,location perfect close to everything. we have stayed here 3 times and will stay again LOVE the PLACE ,Best Western Plaza Pigeon Forge
Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable that speak English well, good breakfast with real food and served until 10 AM which is good for us old folks. Good rates even turning the simmer season. Motel is located near the Disie Stampede and plenty of places to eat, but after the great breakfast food, you may not need a large lunch or dinner. The kids enough the pools, both outdoor and indoor!
I and my 16 yo and 21 yo stayed there July 2017. Room was comfortable, and clean and big enough. Nice to stay in Indoor pool building and have just a few steps to the water. Pool closes at 10:30 p.m., and was some noise during the day. The wifi was not strong, and the cell service via Sprint was not good in the mountains, so my kids complained about that some, but maybe they had a little less screen time. Walk to Patriot Park which is the hub of the trolley service was not too long.
This is the best located hotel that is excellent for a family stay. It's only 2 miles from Dollywood. It's within walking distance from many shows, activities and great restaurants. It has easy front access and a rear access road that comes out at a traffic light so it's so convenient to get in and out of at any time. I have been staying here for 8 years at least 3 to 4 times a year and I have never been disappointed!
Staff was nice. The kept our room tidy the week my family was there. The breakfast location was nice with a relaxing outdoor section. The food was great and a good variety. My family will definitely stay there again.
we recently decided to take a spur of the moment trip to pigeon forge on a what ended up being a super busy weekend. we couldn't find a room anywhere in town but luckily we stopped here at around 2am and they had room! it was a mountain view room that had 2 queen size beds and even its own balcony. the room was very large and nice. we took the room for 3 days. they have 3 pools (1 inside 2 outside) which felt nice on the hot days we had. they also have a full breakfast in a little cafe' type house on the back of the property. the breakfast ladies really had their hands full but did a wonderful job. our room was very clean and well stocked. we were able to get extra towels at the front desk when we needed them. the night desk lady was very nice and informative when we checked in. she gave us lots of discounts for the attractions we wanted to see and even helped us buy tickets for Dollywood online. i think her name was jessica or jennifer but we were very glad for her help. the hotel is right next to the dixie stampede ( it's a dinner show) which was actually really good. we also checked out the top jump next door. it was super fun and we even bought a 5lb gummy bear!!! all in all i would recommend this hotel to our friends and family. the room was great,breakfast was great and the staff was great.
Great hotel. The room was large, clean, the bed was awesome and the staff is very friendly. We were on the first floor and we could not hear a thing from the outside...it was fantastic for sleeping in. The pools were very nice and for us it was a plus to be right next door to attractions we were interested in. The bonus was when the housekeeping girl came around. She was extremely accommodating on whether we wanted the full room clean, just towels, etc. If you're in the area, give this hotel a try...you will enjoy your stay.
Our family stayed here on our first visited to the area. Hotel is in a great location with a Trolley stop right out front. Hotel staff were also great with providing information about the area. Our room was really clean and daily housekeeping was also great. The pools are open late, one until midnight, and our boys enjoyed that. The only negative was the breakfast. It was free hot breakfast but the dining and serving area was way too small for the amount of guests. We only went the first morning and then went elsewhere the rest of the the trip. There are plenty of other opinions close by. I would recommend to family and friends and we will be back!
Hotel was pleasantly nice considering the price. It was the cheapest hotel I found in the area. It was in walking distance of Dixie Stampede and Old Mill Restaurant and many other attractions. The front desk was super friendly and check in and check out was fast without any issues. The pools are really nice and breakfast was fair, although very crowed with limited space. The room we stayed in was recently updated also. Definitely recommend this hotel.
We stay there two nights last week......for a show.....OMG, the room was gorgeous and clean ...Beautiful pools......I signed up for Best Western Awards.....will never stay at any other place from now on.......The STAFF was great.......Wonderful stay.....Highly recommend !!!!!!
Our family stayed here for 2 nights. Clean room. Small bathroom. Good continental breakfast. Although we didn't get to try out the pools, there are 3 pools. Friendly staff. Nice stay. It's walking distance from the Dixie Stampede. We would stay here again.
The room was very clean and the staff is very nice the bed was very hard the toilet paper was absolutely horrible we ran out of towels at The pool. When I asked for more towels they literally gave me a hand towels which was fine because I was appreciative just to have a towel. This location is very convenient to everything
We stayed here for a weekend trip. The staff was great. Smooth check-in. They delivered extra blankets when requested. Housekeeping was extra efficient. Mattresses and pillows were wonderful....I wish I could have brought those home.
Stopped as a midpoint on a trip to Illinois. Staff was helpful and friendly and room was clean and cool. Good night's sleep at a reasonable price from hotels.com. Seemed to be close to many attractions as wwell.
Love the new renovations at the hotel, staff is as always, very friendly and informative. Extremely clean and well kept! Breakfast is always great too! The front desk staff was great, Brandon and Joy were wonderful and very helpful with suggestions for things to do and places to go eat. My kids and I will be back!
They have a friendly staff, rooms are always clean, and is in a very convenient location. They have 3 pools, 2 outdoor and 1 indoor that are well maintained. I have stayed here several years and always have good experience.
Hotel food and area is great. But hotel needs serious renovation in the rooms and also need an upgrade with their WiFi. This is a good location if the other areas were addressed and i believe this property can grow even more. WIFI Slow as molasses
We stayed one night on a last minute whim the Thursday of 4th of July weekend. The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful at check in. This is our second stay here and both times the room has been nice and clean with comfortable beds and good pillows. The breakfast room has been redone, but not necessarily for the better. The high top tables and barstools were created for more seating I suppose, but it does seem to congest the line. Also, waffles are very popular (and very good!) but the line for the 2 waffle makers are always long - but worth the wait. The 3 pools are very nice, however the 2 outdoor pools are not heated and were pretty chilly for mid summer. Overall, everything was excellent and we will be back.
We drove around to a few different hotels and ended up here, and glad we did! We requested a room towards the backside of the hotel and it was nice and quiet. Very clean and the friendly staff. The breakfast was VERY good and my daughter loved the bear waffle maker!!
Everything was great! Clean room, friendly staff and good breakfast! Love what they have done in the breakfast area! Seating is much better and easier to get around! Will definitely stay there again very soon!
This is the most awesome place to stay. My grandson picked this place again for his 13th birthday. Derrick at the front desk was very very helpful when I checked in. Room was so clean., beds were great- plenty of room. Indoor pool & outdoor pools were nice. They always keep this hotel very maintained. Breakfast was great- grandson found plenty to eat for teenager... The housekeeper we had was Mickie Fa- she was GREAT... Kept everything stocked, room nice & clean ,did not need or have to ask for anything. This hotel is close to Dollywood & Splash Country. We have been in this hotel for the last 2 years & will continue to stay here on our trips... Best Western Staff your should be very proud of yourselves... Our hat is off to "The Best Western Plaza in Pigeon Forge" YOUR AWESOME!!!!!!!
