Great location. Has a really nice atmosphere and vibe. Very clean!
Wasn't aware that the pool was adults only after 5 which would have been good to know. Nice place for couples, but we had our niece this visit. Also there are no vending machines, so we know to bring drinks next visit.

Loved that it had a restaurant.
I did not like that it was adult swim only after 5. We were only staying one night and checked in at 4, my daughter was thinking we could go swimming but ended up that we couldn't because it was adult swim only. And I wasn't going to swim without her.

The pool was amazing! They had a no kids past 5pm rule which was really nice for those of us travelling child-free. They also had the beautiful air stream trailer bar in the pool area and the staff were excellent. They allowed us an early check-in since they had a room ready when we arrived, even though we didn't ask. They just offered right off the bat! The location is absolutely perfect! Easy walking distance to the Publix and right across the street from The Island. There is also a Flapjacks restaurant right next door that does an excellent breakfast. We will absolutely be going back again next spring! As an addition: The photo of the room was the day we checked out and this was before the cleaning crew had shown up that day. Check out was at 11am, and room service did our room at about 11:30am each day.
The parking situation was tough after 9:30pm. Luckily we didn't have much we were doing that wasn't within easy walking distance, so it wasn't really an issue for us specifically. After about 7pm, we would walk anywhere we wanted to go. However it was a complaint we heard a few times around the pool.

We enjoyed the stay. When we received our card for 1st room, the room was dirty from the day before people stayed in it. Was never cleaned!!!!. Walked back up to check in and was given another room backside upstairs . Never received housekeeping the 3 days we were there . Called on the 3rd day to check on staying another night was. Told more than i paid for any other night, so i chose to leave and get a room somewhere else . The bar tenders both night we came down were very nice and did well . The experience was ok. i will stay again just letting you know the few issues we experienced when we were there so you know will stay again had a good stay and great location to walk to different attractions close to location of motel. Thanks

Modern and stylish remodel of an old motel with a cool vintage / 60s twist. The rooms are very comfortable, the included breakfast was delicious, motel-style parking right in front of the room was great and the property is just across from Margaritaville, so ideally located. The staff were super friendly. Rooms were a bit on the expensive side, although well within range for Pigeon Forge (maybe even a little cheaper than comparable hotels in the area).

We have stayed here when it was the Island Lodge, this was our first time back since new ownership and remodel, it was done so well and the staff were super sweet!!, the pool area was fabulous, with hot tub and cabanas and food and drink areas. this place is worth checking out, directly across from the islands!!, location, location !!!, we will come back with our families hopefully this summer for a longer stay!!
water pressure was a little low, but otherwise this place is definitely worth a extended stay!!!

Charming decor and helpful staff. Although our original booking was not honored and we were given a different room, the staff was courteous and explained the overbooking situation. The pool area and complimentary beverages during check-in were a nice touch.
Our original booking for a king bed was replaced by two double beds without our knowledge. Looks like the hotel had overbooked. Also the breakfast options were nice but the service was extremely slow. Prepare to spend at least an hour to get your breakfast and morning coffee.

Location was amazing and staff were excellent!
The non refundable pet charge was a little excessive. Parking was challenging especially at night. The room cleanliness was not the best. We had to wear shoes to keep rom getting our feet dirty. Also, housekeeping did not refill toilet paper, or provide clean coffee cup. I had to wash cups out in the bathroom sink.
