Great spot in downtown Knoxville

Great hotel for a solid price. An older property but very well maintained and managed. The rooms were carpet free (thankfully), beds were comfortable and the towels and wash clothes were high quality, thick cotton. They also offer room service which is appreciated and parking is a respectable $15.00 a night. A housekeeper also came to the room every day to refresh the linens and towels. I stay will be staying here every time I am in town for business.

Lipstick on a pig

The hotel room was not what I expected based upon what was presented online. The rooms appeared to be much larger than what they actually were. Vinyl plank flooring instead of carpet. The bathroom was tiny (we usually hang our towels to use them again, but there was literally no place to hang more than one towel). The parking garage was horrible (thank goodness I had a smaller vehicle to make the sharp turns and tight spaces). It had one of the older wall unit air conditioners that barely kept the room cool. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Unique property. Very nice hotel for the price. Restaurant was convenient and good. Really liked room layout and comfort. I found tv options/cable to be lacking. Also, did not like how shower was setup. I had to stand right in front of it to turn on and it was set at hardest setting, blasting me right in the face. Also, toilet seat was wet when I used it first time. Told myself it was from cleaning, but not sure. Had to shower just in case because that’s gross.
