Bedbugs. They have them. We stopped for one night on our way through Pigeon Forge as we headed back home from vacation. We stayed in room 314. On initial inspection, the room looked ok. It’s a bit dated but seemed clean. However, the beds are apparently infested with bed bugs. We woke up at 5:30am to get ready to leave and found our backs, arms and legs with a few bites. As we drove throughout the day, more and more developed. We are covered in bed bug bites.
I took the hotel key to the front desk clerk and informed her of the bugs, her response "Okay, I’ll tell the manager when she gets here.” She did not seem concerned or even surprised about the bed bugs. There has been no contact from the hotel manager. And yes, I did leave my number for contact.
This is the third hotel (out of three…) in Pigeon Forge that we have had poor experiences with.
