Hotel La Quinta Inn & Suites Pigeon Forge (Pigeon Forge, USA)

This hotel is extremely pet friendly. Most breeds are accepted, even large dogs and guests can have more than one pet per room. There are walking paths around the hotel and even a dogwalk. The employees cater to pet owners and are friendly to the animals.

From the hotel, guests can walk in either direction and have dozens of choices of places to eat, places to shop, and things to do. There is easy access to the main roads and highways and the hotel is conveniently located right in the middle of all the action.

The rooms are both modern and comfortable and the suites are spacious. The bathrooms have granite and the bedrooms have modern decor. Some suites even have fireplaces and Jacuzzis. The lobby area is also very attractive and sets the tone for a nice atmosphere.

The carpets are really nasty throughout the hotel, from the lobby to the hallways to guest rooms. This might be a result of the heavy dog and foot traffic, but the entire area is stained and unpleasant. It's a place you'll want to wear your shoes right up until bedtime.

If you're not a pet owner, you might want to avoid this hotel. There are signs of pets everywhere, from dog kibble on the floor to dog evidence along the walking paths around the hotel. Pets are on every floor and their barking can be heard between rooms. Pets, while not allowed in the breakfast, are frequently spotted there with their owners.

While housekeeping has a lot to deal with, including a range of four-legged creatures, the hotel could still be kept cleaner. There is dust and dirt on a lot of surfaces and the whole place somewhat smells of pets.
