The central location, value for the price, the staff was on top of their game. The parking can be a little tight if you are driving a larger truck or SUV but that is due to construction and some barriers that are in place, so a short term issue.

The ground Plaza is an older building. The lobby looks nice, but it could use a general facelift throughout the building. The staff for the most part were amicable. I did have an instant with one who was rude to me when I was playing the piano the bartender was super friendly. She told me where to go and try places to eat. I think you could find a better hotel in Knoxville.
