We liked where this hotel was located, however our room didn’t seem overly clean, we didn’t have any towels, the lady at the desk didn’t seem happy to be at work or wanting to help. It stated it was non smoking as well but the hallways smelt like smoke the whole time.

Functional for what I needed
I arrived very early morning and the clerk was very helpful. The room was well maintained but lacked towels which I didn’t realize till I was getting ready to depart.

I stayed here for a day. The room itself was great. Definitely worth the price. If you are a non smoker, it might be a little uncomfortable for you. I visited from another country and was not used to the smoking culture.

It was a okay stay
The hotel room was very renovated updated. The only think I didn't like was the shower, didn't have hot water, only warm water and the shower water pressure was not good neither. Also no breakfast. Other than that, it was a decent stay.

There were no towels or wash clothes, the room was not clean, the bedding had cigarette burns, there were shopping bags left in the drawers, there was no bible, no alarm clock,no hair dryer, only a half used toilet paper on the roll and no extra, tv didn't work, the pool was closed with a tarp over it and they offered no "continental breakfast" or any breakfast for that fact. Complete waste of money. Would not recommend to anyone I like

Nothing like the photos, overall poor condition
It is rare for me to write a bad review but this room looked nothing like the photos. There were no pictures on the wall. The toilet would hardly flush.- we continuously filled a cup with water to flush. The faucet was barely attached to sink basin. The hallways smelled of smoke. Overall condition was not good and we are fairly used to budget hotels for a quick night's stay. Front desk person was friendly enough but very slow. Do yourself a favor and maybe continue looking elsewhere.

Cleanliness & comfortbility
There was an unpleasant smell of cigarette/smoke smell from going inside the building all the way up into our room. Weird & unidentifiable yellowish/brown stains on bed sheets. Pillows were too small & stiff. Opened up the mini refrigerator & there was still food & Starbucks glass drink from possible previous visitors. Shower was barely even warm, lukewarm at best. Only thing good was the lights & the AC. Customer service was definitely A1 at check in though.

Ive never complained in my life...but This is THE WORST hotel i have ever stayed in. It is dirty, all the restrooms are out of order, there is no elevator, the toilet seat is broken, the room is moldy, THE AD SAID BREAKFAST INCLUDED but the desk said "it is unavailable". The hotel looks nothing luke the photos and the amenities listed are totally false. I am shocked that Expedia's quality control on listings is this poor.

I've been in worse, but not by much
First off, the smoke smell isn't just smoke, it's weed. Second, the heater didn't work. Third, there were only two sheets and no blanket. Both my wife and daughter have asthma. I went out and bought an air purifier that got us through the night. From the looks of it, the company bought the property in really bad shape and remodeled it. They had to replace the carpet in the rooms with nice hard floors. The only positive was the shower stall was nicely done. Pay the extra few bucks, go elsewhere.

We were not happy with the room cause the description for booking stated other amenities that were not given. Only a shower was available. No coffee pot, couldn’t watch television only had 2 channels.and we were supposed to have a breakfast included and that wasn’t available also. Very dissatisfied and wouldn’t recommend going back to that establishment.

Just don’t stay here! We paid for 2 nights and only stayed for one night because it was so bad. Ended our trip early because of this trashed and disgusting hotel. Pro tip - Knoxville hotels all suck unless you can pay $300/night at the Marriott. Drunken idiots are ruining these cheaper hotels. Stay away!!

There wasn’t much to like. The property was undergoing a renovation and my first room was renovated but had cigarette burns in the sheets and comforter with dirty sheets. The second room had clean sheets but more burns in the bedding. My third room was not remodeled, the lighting was terrible, the desk chair was broken, the carpet was stained. I looked at a fourth room that was no better so stayed in room 3 only because I had driven 600 miles that day and booked the room through Expedia. If I could received a refund I would have left the property. I went down for breakfast the next mourning to find out that they were not serving it because of the renovation. I will never stay at a Rodeway again!
