Overall the experience was great. Conveniently, directly across from the Island was nice. Plenty of places around only around 15 minutes from Gatlinburg. Traffic was to be expected. Room was very nice and up to date, bed was comfortable. The bathroom was nice and spacious although it could have been a little cleaner. Parking wasn’t the best and some of the other guests were a little noisy, but it’s to be expected with the type of environment Pigeon Forge is. Definitely recommend!

The Wayback hotel is a fun retro hotel. We stayed in the winter so the pool wasn’t open. There was a hot tub outside though that looked to be a good size. Very clean and quiet even though all of the room entrances are outside.

We did a overnight stay and it was excellent. Everything was within walking distance and the restaurant at the hotel was good we had apps after dinner along the parkway.

I am a huge fan of Mid-Century Modern style. The decor is what sold me on this hotel vs so many options in the area. The renovation choices are tasteful. Made my stay more memorable for my birthday. The lady at check in Feb 8 may have been new or in training, not sure. She seemed overwhelmed with two people waiting. After waiting a bit, an employee from the diner or bar stepped up to take car of me, and she was very nice and helpful. The gentleman the next morning checking out was friendly and professional. I took photos of the lobby and diner. I will be back!

It was good, not great. There was a dark stain on one of our beds, and the sink had dirt in it, but other than that it was clean, beds were comfy. Kinda loud outside but it’s pigeon forge, it’s always loud at night. Only stayed for one night

It was located in a great area surrounded by tons of things to do, and places to eat. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The vibe was funky at Paloma’s bar inside main lobby. Drinks and food were delicious. Will be back.

It was a great stay with very friendly staff. The only bad part is the rooms don't buffer outside noises and the trash dumpsters were emptied at 4:30 am on a Saturday

They are pry friendly which is great. It's a renovated hotel so it does have some wear but our room was clean and had modern decor. The property had one elevator. The elevator was dirty and far away from out room. We opted to take the stairs. The garbage pick up in the morning was pretty loud as well. We went during the winter season so swimming in their outdoor pool was not an option, definitely wish they had and indoor pool. The location is great. Right on the strip near everything!
