The hotel was clean and good for one night. They are in the middle of renovation so it was a little lacking. Once the renovation is completed I am sure the hotel will be even better

Staff is really nice...rooms are much nicer than expected for price
Staff were friendly. But room was not clean. Sheets were not clean. Ask for another room, and it was not that clean either. Property was not in great condition. Did seem like the safest place either.
Staff was very friendly and was able to get our room cleaned and prepared quickly so that we could get ready for graduation festivities for my daughter after a long road trip.

Older property, somewhat dated, but the room was clean and friendly front desk staff.
Great location while visiting University of Tennessee and exploring the Smoky Mountains. Room and building are extremely run down...that said, water was hot and sheets were clean so it worked in a pinch. Staff very nice and helpful.
