We stayed here one night while travelling through Knoxville. The hotel is very tired and old and not very soundproof so is noisy due to the highway next to it. (Glad o had earplugs) We thought our room seemed relatively clean until we pulled the sheets back and saw that the comforter was visibly dirty. They quickly came and replaced it with a brand new one but it made us wonder what other corners are being cut. Beds were comfortable but we wouldn’t stay again.

Very run down location. There were roaches in my room and the bed was so worn out you could see the metal edging through the sheets. Needless to say the bed was very uncomfortable. I won’t stay here again.

Obviously the pictures they showcase are not anywhere near the room you get. The room smelled like smoke, was not clean, damage to furniture and the room itself (walls, doors) to name a few issues. I felt dirty just being in the room as did my children. Extremely disappointed and misled. Stay away.

Bad experience
I went to stay there for my son wedding. Got there and it was very stuffy. Staff was nice but wasn’t the cleanest place ever. The first room I stayed in had hard mattresses and got flooded with water coming from the air unit. I had to move all of my things to another room with my grandchildren. We got to the second room with good mattresses, but alot of dead roaches in the floor where I guess they were exterminating the place, and some alive ones. I immediately took all of our belongings to the truck because I didn’t want to take any of their friends home with me. I was so exhausted and just wanted to sleep but couldn’t because I kept feeling like the bugs were going to get on me. I didn’t want to keep complaining and moving rooms because I tell you, if was exhausting. Next time I’ll make sure that I take my time and book sooner to really read the reviews, find out who run the hotel and the location. We just left with our clothes on our back. I will never go there again.

It was a nice stay. Staff was nice and room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom a little dated and the paint of a couple of walls and all the entrance doors need to be painted and maintained, but those are just esthetic issues.

How exactly does a motel get to smell so bad. Not even awful cleaning supplies can mask it. And I actually had to kick our door open.

The room was nice and clean. The staff was friendly. This was the 2nd time we have stayed at this property. It was homecoming weekend at UT, so it was a very busy time. We would definitely stay here again!
