great access to local attractions and parks for weekend explorers

We loved how convenient it was to get to attractions like the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride, which is just under 2 km away, and the nearby Little Tokyo Restaurant that was just a few steps from our room, making it easy to grab a bite before heading out each day.

Do recommend for a weekend trip

Cozy room, friendly staff, the clean and well-maintained indoor swimming pool, and free parking made our stay enjoyable and hassle-free as we explored the area.

No complaints.

Our stay was awesome! The indoor pool was warm and perfect for the kids after a long trip. The breakfast was surprisingly hearty with great options. The balcony view was breathtaking!

I enjoyed the clean rooms and the comfortable beds. The breakfast offered was good and fulfilled my expectations. The view of the river from the rocking chairs was relaxing. A nice experience! 😊

Our King Room with Balcony was comfortable, but parking was quite limited.

The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like the Hollywood Wax Museum. The flat-panel LCD TV and comfy beds created a cozy atmosphere after a long day of adventures. Unfortunately, we did notice an unpleasant bathroom smell, but the staff were quick to address it. Overall, it was a fun getaway with friends, and I'd consider staying again.

A few issues cropped up during my stay. The elevator broke down one morning, forcing a trek down four flights of stairs, which can be challenging with luggage. The carpeting looked outdated, and there was a not-so-fun encounter with some stink bugs in the room. Also, the breakfast choices were largely unhealthy carbs with no fruit available, and it ended promptly at 9:00 a.m., leaving little flexibility.

We had a wonderful time exploring Pigeon Forge, with easy access to nearby attractions. The indoor pool was perfect for our family, and having a clean room made everything enjoyable. Our babies loved the spaciousness of the Queen Room with two queen beds.

My children wanted more breakfast options beyond the standard hours.

I loved the serene river view from my balcony, offering a peaceful retreat. The walkways were easy to navigate, and I appreciated the friendly staff who were always willing to assist me.

Breakfast options could be improved for better quality.

will come back

The room had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a microwave, which made it comfy. The indoor pool was heated. The fitness center was handy. I enjoyed the nice view from the balcony. The location was close to attractions, making it easy to explore. Breakfast included various items, which was a nice start to the day.

Loved the riverside view, spacious room, and wrap-around balcony. Perfect for family hangouts and relaxing after a day of fun!

the river bend inn has a great location, close to everything you want to explore. the new beds were super comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day. i really enjoyed the breakfast every morning, adding a nice touch to our stay. overall, this hotel is a wonderful choice for a getaway.

Had an awesome time with friends! We spent a full day exploring the Great Smoky Mountains and checking out Dollywood. The flat-panel LCD TV with cable channels made our evenings cozy, and our room offered a comfy stay. Just a heads up, if you plan on returning late, parking can be a challenge, but it’s worth it for the friendly vibes!

One downside was the bathroom smell we encountered. it was quite unpleasant, but the staff did help when we brought it to their attention.

We had a lovely night and really enjoyed the exceptionally clean room and the cozy fireplace. The seasonal outdoor pool and relaxing spa bath were perfect for unwinding after a day out. The breakfast could use a little more variety, but overall, it was a nice stay! 😊
