The Wayback hotel is a fun retro hotel. We stayed in the winter so the pool wasn’t open. There was a hot tub outside though that looked to be a good size. Very clean and quiet even though all of the room entrances are outside.

This property was nice, seems to be one of few hotels in the area that has been updated. Staff were nice, and the location was very convenient. Right across the street from the island.

Overall the experience was great. Conveniently, directly across from the Island was nice. Plenty of places around only around 15 minutes from Gatlinburg. Traffic was to be expected. Room was very nice and up to date, bed was comfortable. The bathroom was nice and spacious although it could have been a little cleaner. Parking wasn’t the best and some of the other guests were a little noisy, but it’s to be expected with the type of environment Pigeon Forge is. Definitely recommend!

Loved the property from its fun theme, trendy (&clean) rooms, and bar. Employees we encountered were friendly and helpful & the welcome drink was a great surprise during our check-in. The area has no shortage of entertainment and dining options. &While I’m not a big fan of the overly touristy area (came for hiking in the Smokys), I truly loved this hotel and would happily stay again.

I am a huge fan of Mid-Century Modern style. The decor is what sold me on this hotel vs so many options in the area. The renovation choices are tasteful. Made my stay more memorable for my birthday. The lady at check in Feb 8 may have been new or in training, not sure. She seemed overwhelmed with two people waiting. After waiting a bit, an employee from the diner or bar stepped up to take car of me, and she was very nice and helpful. The gentleman the next morning checking out was friendly and professional. I took photos of the lobby and diner. I will be back!

Solid choice when visiting The Island
The Wayback definitely brings a new flavor to Pigeon Forge. I've stayed at 4 different hotels within walking distance of The Island, and Wayback is the equal of any of 'em. Beds, TV, shower/bath, all great. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Love this hotel
This was our second time at way back. Each time has been great. They had a fire lit that provided warmth on such a cold day. This is a great hotel on the strip. The heat unit made some weird noise that woke us up but other than that. We will be back.
