The property was very clean and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly! The breakfast was a little meager, but good enough. The facility is older and in need of some attention (paint chipping, plaster peeling) but was very clean! It will be my go to hotel for Knoxville stays especially in the summer because the outdoor pool was lovely! There are also lots of restaurants very close by, a really nice liquor store, and a grocery store. With it being so close to the interstate, it was a very quick Lyft ride into downtown.
Rooms were nice, spacious, and well maintained. Kind and helpful staff, especially the later night crew who we saw most. Exactly what we needed for a few nights in town attending a music festival.
Friendly people great location, beds are a little firm. Overall nice stay.

Curious staff, old rooms not a lot of traffic that goes to this location. Quite, rooms little older but if your looking for place to rest I would recommend. A lot cheaper than surround offers.
The room was very clean, brand new bathroom, staff was very attentive. Great option for the price especially on game day weekend. Short uber ride to UTK and the hotel was offering complimentary uber rides on game day, a very nice touch. Overall this is a great option when you just need a place to sleep.
It was a clean hotel with friendly service. Perfect for a night or two for the traveler. It seems to cater to the trade workers, so I don’t know if it’s perfect for a family doing the tourist thing, but it does have a pool, so to each there own.
