Athens - Sweetwater Beach Vacations

Great hotel. Location. Staff. Would definitely stay again!

If you’re looking for a totally run down hotel this is the place to book. Even the door to my hotel room had to be slammed to close. Not even close to the quality of the Graduate Nashville.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about our stay at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville at The Island in Pigeon Forge. Five stars plus! When we originally booked our stay, my wife and I had a few reservations. With a name like “Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville,” we wondered if it might have more of a party atmosphere. We don’t party or drink, and after 40 years of marriage and 35 years of pastoring, we were really just looking for a comfortable place where we could relax, enjoy a few days away, and be close enough to everything that we could simply walk around and enjoy Pigeon Forge. What we found completely exceeded our expectations. There was absolutely no overwhelming “party vibe” at all. Instead, it was a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere with plenty of people much like us who were simply there to enjoy a getaway. What impressed us most, though, was the staff. From the moment we arrived, everyone—from the parking attendants to the front desk staff and restaurant employees—was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. You never felt like you were bothering anyone or putting them out. They genuinely seemed happy to help. It was the little things that really stood out. We wanted to do some laundry, and they provided us with laundry detergent. We enjoy our coffee, and there were all the K-cups we could possibly need. Every request was met with kindness and a desire to make our stay enjoyable. The location is also fantastic. You’re right there near restaurants

Room could’ve been cleaner and lotion would’ve helped but location was great

The hotel is on the older side but has been kept up well. The hotel itself is the staple of any picture taken of the city of Gatlinburg as it sits atop of a large hill in town. We stay there recently and were surprised to find out that since our last stay a few years ago, you are now charged $ 20.00 a day on your card upon check out for parking. In our room you could hear the sliding doors to the room above us open and close , but not a deal breaker. Overall the Park Vista has most of the amenities that you will need. A nice hotel at a reasonable rate with fantastic views.
