The Clarion has become our favorite hotel in the Dollywood area. Great location. Walking distance to many different restaurants. No Way Jose is the closest and one of our favorites. Staff was friendly. Rooms were very clean. We loved having a ceiling fan.

We love having our families back again and again, which is why we put customer service number 1. The best hotels don't just create good memories on vacation time with families, they help make them happen. These are part of the many reasons we have some of the amenities we have such as IPADS on the wall for the kids... More

Chose hotel based on TA and weren't disappointed. Room was spacious, clean and had everything you would need including great curtains that enabled us to have the best sleep. Used the well-appointed gym and laundry and both were great; and breakfast was wonderful with fresh fruit salad and made-to-order omelettes (with veggies). Staff were also very friendly and helpful and... More
