We loved the bedroom, the amenities, the service, and simply the location of the property. I have recommended it to many so far. Especially how well the staff and service was for us. Price was excellent but could always be better! Great stay and will be staying their next time!

Comfortable beds and great shower, did not like the rolling bathroom door or hearing the trash pickup at 5:00 am. Very limited parking

The dining room was not great, but everything else was excellent.

Likes,Close to Island. Plenty of food around area. Dislikes,No ice machine or vending machine.

Good location for Jeep Invasion

Such a nice boutique resort. The pool, bar, staff and morning coffee is great. Not your typical Pigeon Forge resort. Wayback offers convenient location to walk to dining, across street from the Margaritaville Island entertainment complex. We enjoyed adult time by the pool in the evening. The resort is compact and easy to get around. We did not dine at resort. However, heard others say it offered good food as well.

Nice place and glad I went for the experience, but wouldn’t go back. No microwaves in the room and the retro fridge was too small to put a water bottle upright. Loved the bathroom shower area and the beds were very comfortable, so this was a plus. Had a meal at the pool and the food was top notch and it was a relaxing atmosphere. I wouldn’t say this hotel was super kid friendly, they close the pool early in the evening to all kids and make it an adult only area. Our rooms were not clean by early evening and we had to request towels for our room, so that was a little disappointing.

Have stayed at plenty of hotels in pigeon forge and the vibe here was different. It was very laid back and much cheaper than margaritaville. The pool area was nice, the hot tub was great and the room was nice and clean. My only complaint would be that the bar by the pool. It was $26 before tip and one drink being a yuengling in a can. Loved this place and will stay again.

The people that worked there and the establishment was very welcoming and clean

We loved the Wayback. The service was great! The room was comfortable and beautiful. The pool area was relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and our server, Javier, was attentive and remembered our order from the previous day. They had vegan options that were delicious! The only drawback was that there was no apparent recycling.

Good location. The bedrooms were nice enough. Bed was 7/10 comfort level, would bring my own pillow. Bathrooms were updated and one of nicer quality in area. Photos make room a little more nice than actuality. Worst part of booking is parking. It’s limited and several vehicles were parked in spots not intended for parking. Would stay again.

Nice location to the Island. Very vintage with a cool vibe. Not convenient for families of kids wanting to swim in the evening. Pool was adult only after a certain time.

Tge Wayback is one of the nicer places to stay on the strip in Pigeon Forge. The room was clean and smelled fresh. The pool area was well maintained. The office staff was very friendly. We will be back.

Loved it! Cute decor. Really clean. Very helpful and friendly staff. Not quite enough parking though.

I really wanted to love this property. The guy that checked my husband in was friendly and showed him where he should park. We got to our room and had trouble with the door shutting behind us. It wouldn’t latch because the deadbolts were malfunctioning and we had to press the handle down from the inside if we wanted to close the door behind us. ( we asked later in our visit to have it checked out and maintenance just couldn’t get it figured out- not really a big deal, just more of an annoyance) The room appeared to be clean- normal wear and tear that is expected in a motel room, but there was definitely a damp odor in the bathroom. Totally understandable in this region of the country, yet slightly off-putting. The weatherstripping did not cover the whole door width, leaving gaps on each side of the door- my husband stuffed them with socks- just to help deter any critters from joining us in our room at bedtime. Children are not allowed in the pool area after 6:00 pm.If we had known this, we probably wouldn’t have booked 3 days at this property with our 15year old. Major disappointment, especially since there really isn’t any other place to sit out at the property. I don’t like giving reviews with such negativity, so I’ll say what I did like about the stay….The decor is cool. The pool is spacious. The free Paloma at 6:00 was thoroughly enjoyed. Most workers were kind ( exception of one woman behind the desk when we had a couple questions about the free drink voucher.)

Cute and unique hotel. The service from all employees was top-notch, starting with check in to the bar by the pool. The room is well designed and bathroom is a good size. They even have robes! The pool area is very nice. We enjoyed it and would stay again.

The only thing we didn't like was time with the pool!!!! Everything else was awesome!!

Very loud but great service and food … pool is great if only they enforced the no children after 5 rule.

Beds are super comfortable. Location is great, especially if you are going to Dollywood. Decor is great but you can tell they have done a quick, bandage job of fixing up the rooms. Paint job was meh, the rugs were quite dirty and there was no backing and we kept slipping on them. I had veggie tacos and they were very tasty, expensive but tasty. The pool area is great but the pool bar was closed the whole time we were there which was a bummer. It's pigeon forge. I wasn't expecting perfection and I would definitely stay there again.

Good property, close to everything and overall a pleasant stay.

Very fun place to visit. It was great just being in the fun atmosphere. Nicole was AMAZING!!!

Pros: very cute retro vibe, good location, good price Cons: pool closes at 5:00pm for kids, the AC couldn’t keep up with the summer heat, the mattresses were very uncomfortable (especially if you have back issues)

Great place and wonderful customer service! Will definitely be back!

The pool area, restaurant, and staff was phenomenal.

Our family had a wonderful little getaway. The hotel was very clean inside and out. The room was inviting with its decor and the beds were very comfortable. The pool area was amazing! Yes this hotel has certain hours kids are not allowed in the pool which are 5 pm- 10 pm. It would be great if they made it more like 7 pm - 10 pm to give the kiddos more time but our family made it work. The time we did swim was great! Check in was quick and every staff member was very nice and made sure we were well taken care of. The property is located right across from The Island and is within walking distance of a lot of fun activities abd resturants. Parking is a bit tight and getting the good parking spaces is limited but they do have a over flow back lot. Not as convenient as getting to park close to your room but it's not too terribly far away. Over all this is a awesome hotel to stay at and make memories with your loved ones that will last a lifetime!

This hotel is adorable and looks like it should be in Vegas. Fabulous pool food/drinks too. Possibly the best food we had in the area. Airstream at the pool is adorable too. Cons…room cleaning service lacking and major con of $150 pet fee regardless if no pet issues. Pet fee wasn’t communicated until check out.

It was a cute and quaint place right along the busy main road. We were able to walk right across the street to The Island at Pigeon Forge. Adorable little throw back motel.

The hotel is in a great location. It was clean and the staff was friendly. The bathroom is decent size. The shower is long but could be a little wider. My only complaint is the parking. They need more spaces and maybe a privacy fence to seperate the parking spaces that are near the road to where people can just walk right up to your car. The area felt safe its just a high traffic area since you are in a prime location. I would stay there again if in the area.

It was not completely clean, there are doors that take you to another room and you could hear everything the other guests were doing.

Would have given 4 or a 5 but upon arrival for our 4pm checkin, we were told the room I had reserved and Bonvoy member the previous night and they did not have to check out till 4pm so we waited til 6:30 to finally get in the room, we had to reschedule our plans for that evening because we would not of had ample time to change and make the 7pm reservation but other than that it was amazing

The room was okay. Housekeeping never cleaned , made beds or left clean towels despite being out of room for 11 hours on the second day. However, they took the money that we had out without cleaning!!

Fantastic hotel and staff! We will be back!
