Everyone was friendly and went out of their way to see that we had a pleasant stay. The pool facilities are great & opened untill 2 AM. The breakfast has... More

Thank you for the review. The location is not on older GPS systems. Best thing to do is to remember the location is behind Calhouns, so by entering 2532 Parkway, Pigeon Forge, TN in your GPS it will bring you right here. The Clarion Inn is 6 stories tall, and another way to find us as your coming from the... More

Thank you for noticing that our customers are right. We believe the location speaks for itself. The Clarion Inn is away from the noise and traffic of the Parkway. It is in walking distance of Calhouns and Smoky Mountain Brewery. We have a 5 plex movie theater right in front us that we offer discount tickets to. What more would... More

I read the reviews and was still a little unsure about staying here. We go to Pigeon Forge often and most of the hotels are less than par. However, this one was wonderful! The room was neat, clean and felt new. The bed was very comfortable. They had popcorn in the lobby. The pools were very clean and stayed open... More

Loved our stay at this facility during our first ever trip to the Smokey Mountains. All employees were friendly and professional. Breakfast was a treat every morning, and our bed was a welcome spot every evening. No problems. No worries. We'll stay here the next time we come to this area.
