Comfort Inn Apple Valley in Pigeon Forge, TN

I depend on reviews when booking a room, therefore I like to leave an honest review for someone else. We stayed one night in this hotel. I'll have to say the pictures make the hotel look much more inviting than it actually is. The layout is a little different than other Comfort Inn Suites I've stayed in. The rooms could use some updating. Most hotels have USB ports to charge phones, electronics, etc. I never saw any on the desk or the lamps. There were just electric outlets. The heat/air unit was on of the old style under the window. The bed was very close to the window and unit. I tried to leave the thermostat on it as low as I thought I could stand it, about 64, but it still went on and off every few minutes, therefore we did not sleep well. The air blew right on my side of the bed. Each time the unit turned off I could smell smoke, like it was possibly drawing in smoke from the outdoors. This also made it difficult to sleep and caused us both to have a scratchy throat. The bathroom could also use an update. The tile that was used as a baseboard appeared to be coming loose in places. The shower was extremely small with a very narrow door. Rather claustrophobic. I did not consider the water to be hot. Just barely warm enough for it not to be totally uncomfortable. So if you're expecting a hot shower in the morning, you may not get it. There was a fireplace in our room, as well a jacuzzi tub right beside the bed, which we did not use. Not sure if the water would have been hot enough to have used it anyway. On a positive note, the bed was very comfortable. we just couldn't sleep well because of the heat/air unit constantly on and off and also the smell of smoke. There are several positive reviews posted and I'm wondering if we just got a non-typical room while we were there. Based on our visit, we probably would not stay there again.

Wow! This place is pristine. The decor is very nice and everything is exceptionally clean. I also want recognize the friendly staff and rave how comfortable the beds are. I highly recommend this place!

Extremely disappointed in this hotel. If the hotel does not want families then do not sign up for Rocky Top! We came down as a team and only had trouble as no one was allowed to socialize as they only catered to the older clientele. We get it- so don’t take our money and treat us as though we are doing something wrong because the kids are noisy at the pool and the parents are laughing and talking! Horrible time- never ever coming back- been to a ton of hotels in the area(Music Road for example and were treated so much better and with respect). Will definitely let the Rocky Top organization know to skip this hotel!

The room was very nice. Very clean. very big room with fireplace and whirlpool tub. i had a balcony. a mountain view. air conditioner worked well. room smelled good unlike many hotels. nice staff. great location. there is a red light that makes it easier to get on parkway. walking distance to apple barn. people in elevator commented on how nice it was being so close to apple barn.good breakfast. very comfortable bed and pillows!!
