The Wayback, Pigeon Forge, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

No microwave, no clock of any sort and at check out I wasn't asked if I had a good stay. Won't go back.

We stayed for my wife’s 60th. What a joke. The “Presidential” suite is out the back side of the hotel with a great view of a parking lot and dumpsters. The staff takes smoke breaks out side the room so you come back to smoke. Water went out for a day. Hey, maybe let the people paying there know what’s going on before they realize they have no shower. Cable barely worked, had to have maintenance come, hate that. Don’t get fooled by nostalgia, this is motel 6 with less value.

We had a wonderful stay at the Wayback Motel in Pigeon Forge! The motel was spotless, tastefully decorated, and staffed with friendly people who made us feel welcome. The price was very reasonable, and the complimentary breakfast was a highlight—it wasn’t just a continental spread or buffet, but a full sit-down meal served in the attached restaurant. The location was perfect, right across from the Comedy Barn and The Island, and it was especially fun during the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion to be able to sit along the ***** and take in the view. The only drawback was the tight parking. If you’re towing, it can be tricky to maneuver or find space. Aside from that, everything was excellent, and we would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is in a great location right on the main drag. The signature drinks weren’t great nor was the food. There are so many food options nearby. The pool is heated and was delightful! The staff is well above average!

Room was not cleaned, ran out of toilet paper, ran out of coffee and creamer. Needs updating. Tight parking spaces. Free breakfast was good. Pool and hot tub was great. Reception was good, friendly.
