I paid more for my Pet Fee for my Brittany Spaniel than I did for my one night stay....no adjustment, just a solid big fee that was buried in the fine print when I booked. It won't show up in the Hotels.com site, you need to go to the hotel's website to learn the amount of their pet fee. And carpet was stained and looked very dirty...I sprayed with a disinfectant to try to kill anything growing and eliminate odors...property has deferred maintenance. One good point was it was on the strip of Pigeon Forge...

My wife and I stayed 8 nights here and I have no complaints. I really liked they are pet friendly and if you need anything like towels or bed sheets it was by text and they were left outside your room. We didn't spend alot of time there except to sleep with all the activities we had planned. On the 2nd floor there was a balcony area with comfortable chairs and a fireplace always lit. On the cooler nights we sat down there for a bit just enjoying time together with our 2 pups relaxing. I would stay here again for sure. 4 3/4 stars.

We loved this stay; everything honestly just fell into place. This was a last-minute trip after the 4th of July. We couldn't have asked for better. Right on the edge of town as soon as you come in. Parking was a breeze, the room was cold, the shower was hot, and the bed was comfy. We even got a small fireworks show from Dollywood around 10 pm while sitting by the pool. We asked for the poolside double queen and will definitely be coming back. The price was unbeatable. Also, the breakfast and the on-property pub were delightful.

First of all the hotel has no elevator and for someone with a bad knee to have to go up and down a steep ramp was very difficult. At check in I asked if there were any discount tickets available i was sent to talk to another lady and asked them they asked me who I was traveling with and I told her my best friend well without any explanation I was handed a parking pass and politely excused. Breakfast was not very good at all. To make matters worse right outside our room was a sitting area with a fireplace the first night there were people sitting out there being very loud till 330 in the morning the next night they gathered out there to see the fireworks then a few left but the ones who stayed again were loud why put something like that outside a room so to say the least no rest and considering having to check out at 10 and didnt get to sleep till 4 was rough. For this to be associated with Westgate it was not up tp par. So to say the least I doubt I would ever recommend staying here.

This hotel was absolutely terrible. We had to get our room keys replaced NINE TIMES because they kept deactivating. The rooms were gross, the tub wouldn't drain, the air conditioning was barely cold, the bed was as hard as a rock... this place needs some serious updating. We will never stay here again and would never recommend it to anyone.

We received an excellent price. When we checked in we were given a handicap room but didn’t know that until we got to room. I guess because more room was needed for the bathroom there was no closet to hang clothes or set suitcases out of the way. So room was a bit small. We were glad to have microwave, refrigerator & coffee maker. I loved the hair dryer. Unfortunately it had no brand name on it to try and get one for myself.

We had a very interesting room. I booked a poolside room. Can't really say it was poolside. It was a corner room. No windows and the pool was about 15 feet away. Reminded me of an interior cabin on a cruise ship. Not good. The light in the bathroom was nice as long as you weren't taking a shower. The minute you pulled the shower curtain closed, the shower was totally dark! Wonders never cease. There was no place to hang anything up so fold and put in a drawer. The AC ran continuously. I froze.
The pool area had furniture that was not something you wanted to sit on. Log cabin style. so hard you didn't sit long. The only saving grace was the food in the restaurant. German beer was good. German food was good.

It was a pleasant surprise what a great price gets you at Wild Bear Inn! The hotel has a retro feel but the room was clean and the staff was very friendly! It was a cozy spot and we loved the pool outside too. We were given free breakfast vouchers and it was a good breakfast! We even stopped back into their tavern for dinner on the second day of our stay- very good! We have decided that we’ll stay here again next time we visit the Pigeon Forge area! Highly recommend for a pleasant stay on a budget!

For over 20 years I’ve traveled and been in countless hotels and honestly the Wild Bear Inn is the worst. We’ve stayed from April 30 to May 5 2026 and it’s been horrible at this hotel. Here are a list of problems we’ve experienced.

1. Had to be moved from 3102 to 2205 because the water pressure was very weak and the fixtures failed (hot and cold). Maintenance attempted to fix it but failed. We had no water.

2. Then in 2205 water pressure was still very weak making it extremely difficult taking a shower.

3. On the day we were to leave, I was in the shower, lathered up and the water shut off! You can imagine what I had to do. Dried off with soap all over me. The water slightly came back on so I sat in the tub with water slowly coming out of the spout (not enough pressure to come out of the shower head) and shaved my face.

4. Brushing teeth was difficult with no or limited water

5. Cannot walk in socks. The floors are extremely slippery

6. Entrance door is hard to open and close

7. Bath room has no exhaust fan

8. Hot water handle in tub/shower had to be pushed in and turned clockwise to turn on. Have to continue pushing and turning until it catches

9. The mattresses are so high you literally have to hop in to the bed and getting out of bed is dangerous by slipping on the floor if you're wearing socks.

Finally, members of the staff agreed we deserved compensation, but management refused.

You make your own judgement. This is a hotel owned by Westgate in FL.

I had never stayed here before this trip, but will definitely be staying again. It’s an older hotel (as is almost everywhere in PF), but they are doing some upgrades. The beds were super comfortable, the staff was amazing, and the location couldn’t have been better considering it’s right at a light. We didn’t get to try the restaurant, but it must be good considering there were people lined out the door every morning for breakfast.

Clean comfortable rooms located in a great location in Pigeon Forge. Inn is a quick drive away from downtown Gatlinburg or the Smoky Mountain National Park. It was mostly quiet at night with the exception of a few kids running up and down the walkway two nights. We were not given the free pancake breakfast that is to be included with the reservation. The desk clerk stated it was due to booking through third party (Expedia)—something to consider if you’re looking to take advantage of the breakfast at the inn. Even without the breakfast I would recommend this place to stay while visiting the area!

We had trouble from the time that we arrived. There was no hot water, the safe didn’t lock the room was so dated the floor had a dip in it with a crack. The furniture was horribly dated, TV was tiny, the phone didn’t work to call the front desk, the walls were paper thin you could hear everything through the walls. The only reason I would give them even a one is because the bed was comfortable. Avoid the Westgate representative in the lobby that tries to lure you to a 90 minute meeting that ends up being 3 hours.

A lot of road noise and also the people in the room beside us were extremely noisy, slamming doors and talking very loudly from 1:40 am to 4:30 am, which is not the fault of the hotel.
