What guests think

Compass by Margaritaville Hotel Pigeon Forge draws strong praise for its spotless feel, spacious rooms with balconies, and a standout pool complex that families love, offering a resort vibe with slides, a lazy river, hot tub, and hangout areas.

Many also appreciate friendly service, easy parking, and the central yet tucked away location. Common drawbacks include inconsistent breakfast quality or temperature, occasional loud pool music for pool-facing rooms, soft or firm pillows and beds, AC that struggles to cool some rooms, and sporadic housekeeping or bar service delays. Expect a clean, family-forward stay with lively amenities and a few operational quirks.

There’s no better place for families! My son bounced from the indoor pool, to the hot tub, to the large outdoor pool, the lazy river, and the infinity pool! A great restaurant on site makes it possible to never leave.

Hotel was very nice. Clean, convenient, comfortable. Service at the bars was very slow and the bartenders didn’t seem to know what they were doing. I asked housekeeping to service our room and they did but didn’t clean the sink. Pool area could have been cleaner and pool towels were not kept stocked. I would expect better service for a Margaritaville hotel.

Room was very spacious and enjoyed sitting on balcony overlooking huge pool area. Bed comfortable and towels very nice. New hotel so everything in great condition. Pool and lazy river and got tub were really nice. Free pinball and games in lobby. Only complaint was the closing of fire pits and pool with the slightest forcast of poor weather way too far in advance of weather getting there or it never even came. Strongly recommend this hotel for families with kids or just adults. I would definitely stay here again. Convenient location to everything in pigeon forge.

Hubby and I always stay at Gatlinburg Margaritaville. We were disappointed with the pool service at Compass PF. There were no towels at the main pool either day, and the pool was dirty on Sun 7/20 and Mon 7/21. There was only one pool waiter for bar food/drinks so they were overwhelmed, which caused service not to be too good. We loved all the amenities, there just needs to be some tweaks in service. Thanks

Compass was absolutely a perfect stay! The hotel and location were fabulous. The room, pool and service can't be beat. Meirei (from Spain) was our friendly pool server who went above and beyond to make sure we're were well taken care of. The breakfast buffet had a very wide variety, including cheese omelet, frittata, home fries, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, Danish, muffins, bagels, cereal, fruit, boiled eggs. Plain scrambled eggs/omelet and self made waffles should be offered. Everything was refilled often, but warm items were not always warm or tasty. ....but still a nice buffet overall. Rooms were beautiful and spacious. The pool, slide, hot tub, plunge pool and lazy river were beyond amazing! Compass is our new Pigeon forge favorite! Highly recommend for couples, families or a girls trip!

The lazy river was a blast. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had a balcony that overlooked the Pigeon Forge parkway with a beautiful view of the sunsets. The hotel was very clean with free water and coffee available in the lobby. I used the gym, and it had everything I needed for a great vacation workout. Great location with several restaurants within walking distance. They provided a breakfast with a good selection. I'd 100% recommend. We plan to come back and bring our grandkids to their waterpark (which essentially is what they have, a small waterpark).

The water- features area was great ; my nephews and niece loved it! As a matter of fact , it was the reason we booked here and they pretty much stayed on-site for most of the trip! The breakfast offered a great variety and was kept quite clean and organized. The only "didn't likes" I would have would be the very slippery surfaces around the outdoor water areas and the "incidentals" charge at check-in. I saw several children (including my own nephews) fall and quite a few adults slip/skid while walking. I felt the need to "creep" around when I walked outside ! lol That could honestly be quite a danger if a child or senior fell and hit their head. Regarding the check-in process : Yes, I did read that there would be an additional fifty-something dollar charge at check-in but I read it as a one-time fee. When I checked in I was a bit shocked to be charged appx. 200.00....after having paid in full ,prior to arrival! I did not see that the charge was PER DAY , not an overall fee. The entire concept seemed odd to me because, if not mistaken, those type fees became illegal to charge, as of 7/1/25 but I do live in another state so perhaps it doesn't include all states. That being said, the kids had a great time and I believe we will likely return for a future stay.

The restaurant onsite was so convenient and the food was even better than we hoped! Also having a complimentary breakfast was a pleasant addition. We will definitely stay there again. I can’t say enough great things about this facility. The location is convenient to everything that we needed.

This hotel is wonderful! It’s so clean and beautifully decorated. Room- We stayed in a standard room with 2 queen beds. Our room was beautiful and spacious. We were on the 7th floor in a corner where we had a Mountain View from the balcony but a slight pool view from the window. Perfect spot! Nice and quiet. Beds were comfy but I did listen to reviews and brought my own pillow. Shower was huge! I was a little disappointed there was no tub because my kids are used to baths, but it was fine. The only thing I did not like was how there was nothing to divide the toilet area from the rest of the bathroom. A pocket door would have been perfect. Pool- The pool area was huge, clean, and so much fun! My son loved the slides. I enjoyed the lazy river and my daughter loved the spray features. We went to the pool in the afternoon, usually between 1 and 2 and it wasn’t too crowded. It did look busy at night time, especially the slides. Food- The breakfast was yummy! I liked the island potatoes, eggs, and salsa.

All of the front desk staff could use an attitude adjustment. Any time you ask them a question, it feels like you’re bothering them. This usually happens at places with high ratings — upper management gets too comfortable and eases up on their employees. Also, be aware they’ll charge you a $50 early check-in fee, even if you arrive just 10 minutes before the 4 p.m. check-in time.

This property is great. Is clean, the staff is friendly, the beds are comfortable, rooms are big. The one thing that doesn’t allow me to give it the full five starts was the service at the bar. The waiters are confused on what they can serve. We ordered a few drinks by the pool. The waiter took the order and then asked for I.D. It would be great if the hotel had wrist bands to identify adults. We were inside the pool. We don’t bring anything Ike that to the pool! We had to cancel our drinks and so my husband asked for coffee and water. The waiter comes back with only water and says we stopped serving coffee at 10:30am. This was at 4pm when we ordered. Why wouldn’t he know that? Then we over heard another waiter saying they can brew some coffee for someone else! The service at the bar and restaurant was not the best. But the hotel itself was great.

Great hotel. Comfortable bed. Quiet which kinda surprised me as our room overlooked the pool on the second floor. The pool was awesome and had a short lazy river ride. Very clean like no other hotel pool I've ever been in. Great restraurant in the hotel. My only small complaint would be that the breakfast, which was really good and a lot of options, was kinda cold, which I credit to other guests leaving the lids off the dishes after serving themselves.
