Grand Resort Hotel and Convention Center, Pigeon Forge

The Grand Resort Hotel and Convention Center in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee consistently makes the top 10 lists of bad hotels. You might choose to stay here because the hotel is conveniently located near Dollywood, in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Unfortunately, the hotel has not had many updates. You might find dirt stains and mold checking in with you during your stay. Guests have taken photos of rusty refrigerators and claimed they had to sleep with their clothes on in order to feel somewhat comfortable sleeping on dirty sheets and comforters.

Do not be fooled by the hotel’s exterior — all of the renovation budget has gone into keeping up the outside of the hotel, and guests report the property looks perfectly fine from the outside.
