Econo Lodge Pigeon Forge Riverside

Hotel was very clean. They appear to be undergoing a remodel and I believe we had a newly updated room, as all the furnishings were in top shape. We had a difficult time figuring out the TV operation and remote use. The pool area is large and well maintained, with lots of pool towels available. Heated pool, baby pool and a nice hot tub. The breakfast was the usual stuff, but at least it was a hot breakfast. Mattress and bedding was comfy; water pressure was weak but I think that's the norm in Pigeon Forge. Nice mini fridge, microwave and a coffee maker in room. Linens changed every 3 days you stay, but we did have housekeeping come in daily and replace dirty towels and empty trash, whcich was a nice surprise.

Need to offer bagels and cream cheese

Hotel was under renovation while we stayed. Luck of the draw with this, but would have been nice to know ahead of time. We specifically booked this hotel because of the river walk and pavilion in the back. 6 cargo containers, a dumpster and a telescopic forklift were parked out back and we were awakened early each morning by renovations to nearby rooms. Fridges and microwaves stored on the other side of our rooms wall was not fun to hear being piled up. Room cleanliness was good and the staff was friendly and kind.

Great place for the money. Full hot breakfast. Some areas were a little outdated, but overall clean and very nice!
