What to do in Pigeon Forge
Pigeon Forge: Steven Best's Unbelievable Magic Show
"The rooms were clean and the front desk was very responsive to all of our needs. The breakfast was better than most other hotels we've visited. The kids loved the water slide!"
"The check in was quick and easy, clean and spacious room for the 4 of us, it’s close to everything that we wanted to do. The lady who checked us in was so nice! The only takeaway was we didn’t get to enjoy the pool, the hotel has a lot of guests and they seem to be all in the pool, we didn’t mind, the pool looks great, the property is busy that’s for sure."
"I’d give Music Road Resort Hotel a 3.5 out of 5
The biggest advantage of this hotel is definitely the location. It’s easy to get in and out of Pigeon Forge, close to just about everything, and we didn’t notice much traffic noise, which was a nice surprise.
We stayed in a double queen room with two adults, three kids, and a Pack ‘n Play. There was enough space for everyone, which made the stay comfortable. The room did have the typical hotel odor, and we found a previous guest’s sleep mask, so...
"We had a great stay. Quiet, clean, comfortable. We’d had a terrible nights stay at another establishment (not IHG) when we last minute checked in The Garner. This stay was everything we needed and then some. Breakfast was fresh every single day. Free cookies and a different infused water in the lobby every single day. And staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable after our initial bad stay at another hotel (not an IHG hotel). Thank you all for a comfortable and safe stay."
"Unfortunately, this morning my sister when to the bathroom and felt something crawling on her neck, when she swatted away it was a live bed bug, for what she came out of the bathroom to let us known and get off of the bed.…We started looking the mattresses and all corner through our phone flashes, we found 3 more bugs bed on the wall and bathroom. We collected the evidences and shared with the receptionist, and left immediately."
