The outside isn't great, but the room was freshly renovated and nice. The shower is huge with amazing water pressure. Beds weren't horrible, but bring your own pillow. For the price, I'd definitely stay again. Also the staff was very friendly.

Visit the observation deck for a great view of Knoxville. From the city's website: The Sunsphere was constructed for the 1982 World's Fair and during that time, it served as the symbol to the Fair. It was also home to a full service restaurant and the Observation Deck, which cost $2.00 for the elevator ride up for a visit. The Sunsphere closed to the public with the Fair's end and remained vacant or underutilized for most of its post-fair life. The Sunsphere and the Tennessee Amphitheater are the only structures that remain from the 1982 World's Fair.
