I just needed a room for one night (~10 hours) and I found out his is the kind of place you stay at when you cannot afford a more expensive hotel...I learned my lesson. Maybe some of the other rooms are nicer (?). No light over the main living space or even a bedside lamp-just a strip light over the sink at the far end of the room. Also, not carpeted (tile), so the picture on their site is not how my room was set up. To their credit the bathroom was clean, and it appeared the bathroom and sink area were recently upgraded, and the AC worked.
The hotel is the USA, Royal, and Budget hotel in alcoa. They are all listed separately, but are the same hotel. The place wasn't clean. It didn't have a microwave. If your there to go to the airport, it would be ok. Very loud with planes flying right over the hotel.
We had dirty bloody sheets, cigarette holes in our blankets in a “nonsmoking” room, and a ceiling leak. They added a 50 dollar deposit at check in. Wouldn’t matter initially, however the room conditions were so bad we almost slept in our car. Laid towels down and our blankets and made a nap work before showering and checking out at sunrise.
Holes in the wall, paint peeling, dried up spills on the floor.

only one worker was very nice, the overnight worker was EXTREMELY rude. they also shut off my access to hotel before my check out time and almost had to sleep in my car. there were roaches (dead and alive) all around hotel.
The first “non smoking” room smelled heavily of smoke. Sheet had stains, pillow case had stains. Room did not have lights per se. There were LED light strips everywhere. Stark white and super bright. I went to the office and asked for another room. Got attitude from the clerk, but got a different room. This one smelled as well. When I went back and reported it, the clerk argued with me about what I was smelling. I cancelled my reservation and went to another hotel. I could not sleep there and had no desire to have that smell infuse my clothes. It was THAT bad. Avoid at all costs!
Expedia should not be booking this hotel. They are remodeling. Only had a bed, tv, and 1 set of towels. No microwave, no remote, no fridge, no iron/Ironing boatd, no blankets. Only had a dirty bedspread. No lamps either. I paid for two nights that was not refundable and only stayed one night. It was horrible. It was loud from the remodeling that was being done. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL.
The room literally looks like a prison cell, smells like a dumpster, customer service was basically both of those things combined like a prison warden with a horrible attitude. There was literal pubic, hair and human hairs in our bedsheets and blankets dirt on the floor. The room smells like it’s never been cleaned and when I went to the front desk to simply and politely I, my dad asked for clean blankets and sheets. She would’ve thought I asked her to literally build me a house in the middle of the night, the owners name is Pete and I will do whatever it takes to contact him. We did not even stay the night. We were there 20 minutes and left.
The room was dirty. The beds were disgusting. Looked like they hadnt been cleaned in a while. Crumbs, dirt, stains, and who knows what else on the beds and pillows! Called front deak for a clean room amd was told they could not spare another room. They said we could leave and and they would issue a refund. Have not heard anything about a refund, after a week!
The room was nasty. A non-smoking room has a cigarette wrapper on the floor when we walked in. The shower leaks badly and the tub looked like it had not not been cleaned. The bed did not have a bed sheet on it. It just had a sheet and the comforter had many burnt holes in it.
Do not stay at this place. They have bed bugs. Roaches on the walls. Ripped and torn bedding. Smoking in every room. No towels. No trash cans. Absolutely filthy and it should be condemned. Worst place I have ever stayed in in my entire life.
When I first got there the receptionist couldn't even find my reservation. Was rude and unhelpful. Once the representive from the Hotels.com app resent the confirmation, the woman finally started to give me the motel key. When she told me that my room wasn't on the bottom floor after I had requested an accessible room, she told me that it was the only room left. After I told her that I had trouble with going up stairs since they didn't have an elevator, she then said there was a room on the bottom floor. When I got in the room it smelled horrible, there was hair all over the beds, the sheets were yellow like from urine and the last straw was the coakroaches. I simply left, had my son turn the key back in while the woman was telling him that she would put us in another room. I had enough lies and had seen enough. We left and found another motel with better conditions and helpful people. I was to upset to even think about taking pictures, wish that I had. First ever bad motel that I have gotten through this app, all the others that I have stayed in have been good.
I could not stay in the room that was provided. There were people hanging around the parking lot and breezeways as we were about to carry the bags inside. The floor in The room was ceramic tile and I spotted live bugs in the tub. The guy at the front desk was very short with me when we arrived to check out the room and didn't ask any questions when I informed him couldn't stay in that room.
Room was not cleaned well. Water leaking from tub faucet. Unable to get any pressure from showerhead. Comforter was falling apart. Was first given a room that was already occupied, then switched to room with all the problems. If it had been refundable we would have left.
