Roundtrip non-stop flight included

Houston (IAH) to Knoxville (TYS)

9/10 Wonderful! (1,773 reviews)

Our room was clean but extremely run down. The air con unit was older than me. The air conditioner was so old it leaked out onto our balcony and the balcony has purpose built holes so the water would drain out. The air conditioner would keep me up all night and the room was so hot that it actually made me feel sick. I left the hotel more tired and not relaxed. Would I stay again, I doubt it. The hotel really needs to be brought into 2025. Don’t get me started with the artex ceilings.
