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.

Lots of room for improvement with this hotel. The staff were very friendly so no issues there. No soundproofing in rooms. You can hear everything. It says coffee in lobby but it comes at a charge. Unless you are leaving very early, then the staff member said she had no access to the coffee maker, nor the microwave. For that cost it was ridiculous that we couldn't get at least a coffee. I heard a lot of unhappy guests making their complaints known. Sad that it wasn't a great experience

Would of been ok without construction noise!
Would have been a good stay - but was hard to find room in the dark. Room numbers very small. Worse thing was the construction going on that started at 5am. This was in November 2024.

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.

No too bad.
Property and room was nicely updated. Right across the street from the Islands. The AC in our room didn’t cool very well. Room and property were clean, but not spotless. Overall, I would stay again if I wanted a short stay or to primarily visit the islands and shops nearby.

Great poolside lounging
The room was completely renovated, everything seemed new and shower was very clean. The seating by the pool is so comfortable. The bartender was very friendly and talkative, we received complimentary drinks during our stay. We walked across the street for dinner the hotel is conveniently located to many attractions.
