Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Pigeon Forge

The 71-room Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Pigeon Forge is a pet-friendly budget hotel located on the main Parkway that runs through Pigeon Forge. Many restaurants, shops, and attractions are within walking distance and Dollywood is a 12-minute drive. Guest rooms are a bit dated, though they’re spacious and include microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. There’s a free buffet breakfast each morning, though no full restaurant. The outdoor swimming pool is seasonal and includes surrounding seating. The property also has a meeting room, small business center, and ample free parking. For Little Pigeon River access, guests should consider the River Bend Inn (which has an indoor pool and fitness center), and lower rates.

Sea Dell Motel

The two-pearl Sea Dell Motel is a budget-friendly stay centrally located in Marathon, about a five-minute drive from the public Sombrero Beach. The 25 rooms are full of kitschy decor and bright colors, plus useful amenities such as microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Being a value property, amenities are limited to a well-maintained pool and laundry facilities, though most guests spend their days exploring the area. Those who fancy something a little more modern, however, might want to look to the two-and-a-half pearl Holiday Inn Express & Suites Marathon, but expect higher rates.
