The Wayback, Pigeon Forge, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

“Cute retro motel close to everything”

This is such a cute little retro motel right on the parkway in Pigeon Forge. Everything was clean and we constantly saw employees cleaning the grounds and outdoor areas. The rooms are so cute with space to move around. The bathroom is small but it does the trick! The pool area is really nice with an air stream trailer for bar/food. There is a covered area with tables to sit and eat or drink out of the sun. There is also an actual restaurant in the hotel with a covered area for dining. The motel is very close to many attractions for walking since traffic in this area can be very heavy. There are plenty of restaurants and attractions to walk to. Overall we loved it and would definitely stay here again. All the employees were very nice and friendly.

“Not your Normal Hotel”

This is definitely not your typical Marriott branded hotel. We were in Pigeon Forge to attend the Jeep Invasion and this was a perfect location. Walkable to the Convention Center, across the street from the entertainment district called the Island and center of the evening Jeep Parade. Made my reservation on line a month before attending, a week out checked and found they lowered the rate a little so I canceled my initial reservation and made a new one saving a couple hundred bucks. Still expensive. The hotel has been part of Tribute and Marriott Bonvoy since November. The designers must have had a great time with hotel design. The lobby was very art deco and the guest rooms carried that theme out. The air stream bar in the pool area also carried that theme. Guest room 125 was comfortable and spotless clean. Surprised that the shower amenity weren't hanging on the wall in the shower. Plenty of room in the closet area and lots of drawers. Only negative in the guest room was lack of a desk and chair. Maybe an addition of a lap top table that can be used when sitting on the couch. K Cup coffee maker, mini fridge and a couple bottles of water was appreciated. There is also a small safe available for use in the room. The beds were very comfortable and each had 4 nice pillows. Housekeeping service is provided daily. The one negative regarding the rooms is that they all have an exterior corridor, motel style. Be sure before booking that is not an issue for you or anyone in your party. There is a nice restaurant attached and we had breakfast one morning of our stay and it was excellent. I am Lifetime Platinum and they offer the $10 coupon for your welcome gift that we used for our breakfast and on the last day we just got a couple of coffees with it. Check in was handled by Damion and Birttany who were very friendly but could have enhanced the experience a little more with some conversation and use of my last name during the process. Melanie was our breakfast server and was very hospitable and friendly. We were very impressed with the overall hospitality of the night audit person Michelle who was very friendly and hospitable and she wins the smile of the stay award. She was extremely friendly and had an amazing smile. We look forward to returning next year for the Annual Jeep Invasion in August 2025.

“Maybe give it some time.”

Was invited to Pigeon Forge with some girlfriends and we were split between here and Margaritaville. I wanted to stay at Wayback because it's new and looks super cute, and while it looks great in photos, it feels like it's still figuring things out. I'd rather stay in a hotel with a less cool crowd… Mehr

Was invited to Pigeon Forge with some girlfriends and we were split between here and Margaritaville. I wanted to stay at Wayback because it's new and looks super cute, and while it looks great in photos, it feels like it's still figuring things out. I'd rather stay in a hotel with a less cool crowd that offers full hotel services (like cleaning, etc) then stay in a place that's great for instagram only.
