Clarion Inn Dollywood Area

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in! The pool area is very nice, the breakfast was phenomenal, and the service was outstanding. The cliental appeared to be families or elderly couples. This hotel is close to the strip but far enough away that you do not have the traffic or noise bothering you. I would highly recommend it.

Excellent experience here. The hotel was clean, the room was up to date and also well kept. The staff was very helpful and friendly at all times. The pools were fun. Indoors there was a very warm pool and a separate bubbling hot tub. Outdoors there was a small scale lazy river style pool, a fountain play area and a pretty good slide that ended in a small catch pool. The slide was about 25 feet tall and went around a few curves before you hit the pool. Perhaps the most impressive was the very well stocked breakfast. At this point, as a regular at Hampton Inn level hotels I expect certain things from hotel breakfast. Usually a rotating selection of hot items like bacon, sausage, heated up eggs with cheese or an English muffin with eggs on top. Stuff like that. Every day we were there, we had much more to choose from, in addition to the usual waffle makers with regular waffle batter, there was blueberry and strawberry batter. The buffet options each day included cheese eggs, bacon, sausage patties, sausage links, biscuits, breakfast gravy, grits, and potatoes. There was a large selection of yogurts including kid friendly Trix flavors. There were very nice little fruit cups with fresh fruit. There was a large selection of cold cereals and oatmeal mixes. There were donuts, breads, danish, bagels and muffins. They also had a cook on hand each morning made to order omelettes. Very nice spread.

We absolutely love this hotel! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Great complimentary breakfast. Our room was very clean the beds were cosy and we all slept well. We also enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools. The cookie and popcorn meet and greet was also a plus. We frequently visit the area and since we found this hotel it the only one we stay with!

Very impressed with the accommodations and offering. Check in and out were veer smooth with gracious and informative front desk staff.
Rooms were clean and spacious. Two double beds. Seems the room could be fitted with another main light. The ceiling fan does not have one and the room seemed rather dim.
Nice bathroom and shower with granite countertops. Free Wi-​Fi in the room.
We were greeted in the evening with free popcorn and fresh-​baked cookies. Free beverages. The breakfast buffet was much better than I would’ve expected. They offered an omelette station French toast waffle-​maker bagels donuts bacon sausage eggs fruit cups yogurt cereal and more.
There are four pools, two indoor and two outdoor. They have a hot tub inside and a decently sized pool. Outside there is a lazy river, a waterslide, and another hot tub.
Not much bad I can say about this place. The price was reasonable, we got it for $ 140 and we were even allowed a late check out till 2 PM.
Well done Clarion!

Wonderful stay with my husband!!! Will most definitely return with the kids in the summer season. And will be recommending this location to family and friends.

Great staff: So polite and helpful! Great free breakfast: Few hotels offer so many options and keep it coming. The rooms are very comfortable and clean, too, with restaurants within walking distance. I was there on snowy days when there were few guests. (Cozy fireplace in the lobby!) I wonder what this hotel is like when overrun by tourists in the heat of summer?

The hotel was the best I have ever stayed in. The staff was excellent. The room was totally awesome. We were on the top floor with a king suite with a fireplace in our room! I would highly recommend this hotel. The breakfast is over the top. And included in the price!

Wow. This place seems to impress absolutely everyone who’s ever stayed here. I get it.
After being literally snowed out of our 4-​day weekend plans (we reserved a cabin and my car, even with brand new tires, could not trek the icy/​snowy hill it sat on, not to mention more precipitation and cold forecasted the next couple days), my boyfriend and I wearily Unilocaled local hotels and this place won out by far (other than the Christmas place I let him check out just to humor him. They acted like checking for availability was a foreign concept when we called). Anyway, I’ve been sitting on our comfy hotel bed, watching the snow fall for all of about 20 minutes and I think this weekend may be salvageable yet. Thanks, Clarion, you saved the day!

Awesome Place! Wonderful, Friendly and helpful Staff at all hours… Clean Rooms! Plenty of Parking, Centrally located, walk to Attractions. And best of all competitively priced. This is my Favorite hotel in Pigeon Forge TN

This place is a cut above other hotels in the area for the price. Nice pools inside and out. Plus the inside pool stays open til 2am for people who stay out late.
The free breakfast is fantastic.

Due to being rated #1 on Trip Advisor for Pigeon Forge Hotels my expectations were high. Happily those expectations were not only met but exceeded. Had interaction with various staff from the General Manager to the day Maintenance worker. It was apparent the pride that was displayed in providing both excellent service and facilities. Room was perfect. Breakfast bountiful. Common areas immaculate. Loved the parrot in the lobby. USA Today provided for Privileges Members outside the door each am. Local paper and Wall St. Journal provide each day for first come first serve at the desk. Got a great off peak rate through Choice website.

Fantastic bargain and hidden jewel in Pigeon Forge!
This hotel was just chocked full of surprises. For a very competitive/​reasonable price per night, we had a fantastic stay while we enjoyed the sights and scenery of the Smokies. Will definitely return .
* Conveniently located right off the main drag and near everything. Easy in, easy out.
* Free breakfast saves you $$ in the morning and it was good. Not your run-​of-​the-​mill hotel continental. They had someone making omelets, they had the usual suspects (pastries, doughnuts, bagels, make your own waffle), every cereal you can imagine, coffee and tea, white milk, chocolate milk, yogurt, and individual, little fresh fruit cups. What?
* Room was clean and well appointed. Bed was comfy. Thermostat did it’s job well.
* Cute balcony with seating to enjoy an early morning coffee or unwind at night.
* Fresh water and punch in lobby served all day for guests.
* Great pool area. Indoor pool and hot tub. Outdoor miniature lazy river and a pretty good sized water slide.
* Lots of parking.
* Sign in parking lot that said «God Bless America.» (Double points for being patriotic and Christian.)
* Easy check in and check out. Upgraded room keys that you just swipe or pass across the lock instead of having to make sure the arrow is facing the right way and the strip is on the right side.
Lastly, and this is a big one for me. Since it was a short trip, we declined housekeeping’s services while we were there. In the past when I’ve done this, despot the «do not disturb» sign being hung, housekeeping will wear you out wanting to know if you want service, when you want service, should I come back. No! Leave me alone. DO NOT DISTURB. I’ve actually gotten a call before from housekeeping saying, «yes, hello, m’am, this is housekeeping. You want your room cleaned?» Umm, no, I want to finish my nap. At this hotel, we weren’t hounded by housekeeping. You know what they did? When we returned from a long day out, there was a trash bag tied to our door with fresh towels and replacement soaps, etc. What’s the opposite of epic fail? EPIC WIN!
Good for you, Clarion!

I cannot say enough about how great an experience this hotel gave us. The breakfast alone saved me at least $ 30-​$ 40 for my family of four. They have a cook for made-​to-​order omelets. The indoor pool, outdoor water slide and jacuzzi do not close until 2am. The rooms were very clean and the staff deserve 6 stars. The mattresses are firm. My wife said they were hard because our mattress at home is plush. I enjoyed it. They also have a bird.

Wonderful stay with my wife and our toddler son. Family Friendly… Great Breakfast included with your stay. The staff was very friendly and check– in was quick and easy. This hotel is within walking distance to many Pigeon Forge attractions including The Island entertainment center which includes the Big Smokey Mountain Ferris Wheel.

This is an excellent place to stay in Pigeon Forge. The room was very clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was very good also. The rooms seem larger than most of the other places I have stayed. I would highly recommend this hotel.

I loved this hotel. We stayed an entire week.
Being an ex-​hotel manager, I am very picky when it comes to cleanliness, I usually bring my own cleaning supplies, but this hotel was wonderful. I felt right at home.
They have massage chairs in the game room.
Free popcorn and cookies at night!
Great full breakfast. The staff is very friendly. Great location, and a spectacular view from our 6^th floor room.
The pools were nice and clean.
Lobby is nice and comfortable, they have a baby grand piano and a really cute parakeet. They even have iPads for kids to use.

I had never stayed at a Clarion Inn prior to this visit. My impression of them was that they were sub-​par they always have that Quality Inn vibe and I don’t want to waste my time.
However, after staying at this property I may consider them in the future.
The check-​in process was a breeze and Trista at the front desk was a trooper. I love to joke around and she rolled with it the whole time. She was knowledgeable about the property, had a great attitude and was a treat to work with.
The hotel looks new and still has that fresh feel to it. The whole property is non-​smoking which is awesome and you can see (rather smell) they enforce the policy.
The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and there were tons of channels to choose from on the television. That’s right baby, the full HBO suite! Of course, there was nothing worth watching but that’s not Clarion’s fault. I mean, The Three Stooges, c’mon!
The breakfast was great. All of your standard continental fare but they also had an omelet station, waffle station, biscuits and gravy. Oh, it’s on!
The cool part was that the manager was walking around the dining area asking everyone how everything was. That says a lot to me. He wasn’t hiding in the back he was out there selling the dream.
The pool area was pretty cool too. They had an indoor pool, outdoor mini lazy river, water slide, hot tub with a fire pit.
Parking is plentiful and at no additional cost.
I would certainly stay at this property in the future.

I stay here every time I come to the area for business and really appreciate the experience here. Competitive rate, super clean rooms, and friendly staff always willing to help with directions or recommendations.
I can’t comment on the breakfast or pools — haven’t tried either — but the parking is free, abundant and the hotel is located near stores, restaurants and church. Can’t be beat.

Today TripAdvisor unveiled their Travelers’ Choice Top 25 hotels in the world for service and I was so proud to see I’m one of hundreds of thousands of people who agree. You guys rock! Congratulations for making the list and being only one of five to make the top 25 in the United States.

Outstanding service — they really know how to cater to their guests. I selected the hotel because it got the highest rating in TripAdvisor and Unilocal.The hotel is less than two years old, rooms are nice and very clean, and staff are very friendly. Best part was free WIFI, a room with complimentary massage chairs (who needs to spend $$$ for spa treatment, haha), hot breakfast buffet from 7 – 10:30am (with omelette station, DIY waffle maker, Krispy Kreme donuts, etc), and snacks after 7:15pm (cookies, popcorn vendor, lemonade, and live music). They also offer discount tickets to the movie theater next door, and ~$ 10 off tickets to some of the area dinner shows.
The only disappointing things were the pool size (but perfect for small kids) and orange juice that tasted like Sunny Delight. Seriously just picky points. Otherwise overall, great stay!
FYI — hotel rate discounts available for AAA and AARP members.
