The retro theme was good but you can see the drywall that was just placed over the old drywall. The flooring seemed dirty and in bad condition for the age of the remodel.

Back in time !

Like stepping back in time. This unique little hotel presents as a 1950s style lodging experience down to every detail . It’s fun and comfortable and right in the middle of everything g pigeon forge has to offer. The staff is friendly and the vibe is upbeat . They even have a pool bar and a restaurant. Do something different and stay here instead of a boring chain. The prices are comparable to then but the experience is unmatched !

We were in town for Jeep Invasion. First time staying at this hotel. The staff is as amazing. Restaurant was phenomenal.our only drawback was housekeeping. Our room was skipped 2 days in a row. Not such a huge deal with the exception of towels. Would have been nice to not have to go to the office every evening.

NO MICROWAVE, Tiny mini fridge with no tiny freezer-not deep enough to set anything in. So when you get a presidential suite you still can’t really do any meals or snacks in your room. Can’t heat up any leftover take out and fridge not big enough to put any leftovers in. We bought a pie and had to stand it on its end No garbage can big enough for more than a drink bottle or two. Our room had an adjoining room availability- but we could hear every move they made! Kept us up until early am. Other wise PERFECT!!!
