Comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. This property is easily accessible from I-40 in Knoxville, and is an easy drive to campus, shopping, and restaurants. The property was clean and relatively modern, even if lacking the polish of some other properties. Beds and rooms were very clean and comfortable. On-site breakfast is well-stocked and good for traveling families. Indoor pool and fitness center are small, but clean and serviceable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was the noise. The property is on a frontage road immediately parallel to the interstate. Rooms facing the interstate have a lot of road noise. Rooms facing the back of the property are much quieter. Noise dampening curtains would go a long way.

Great place to stay, near Knoxville and the University of Tennessee to move your kid into school. It was a quick 10-15 minute drive to campus, the breakfast was excellent, and the place was clean. The only problem was that, many others had the same idea and stayed here, but their parking lot was full.

This property is convenient and centrally located - not far from downtown.-- so a less expensive option to downtown. We stayed on the fourth floor- there is some interstate noise staying on the front side on the fourth floor. The first floor didn't have that noise. I suggest if one is staying on an upper floor to get a room on the back side of the hotel. Staff is very nice and helpful. We liked Claire who helped us with check-in. .

Property was well maintained. Only down side was the A/C in the room was extremely loud and had a hard time cooling the room below 73. So if you like a cool quiet room you might be disappointed

I was in my room relaxing and some random lady walked into my room with a key. Somehow the front desk forgot I had just checked into my room and gave the room to someone else. When I complained I was told management would reach out to me and they never did. Later in the evening, I was going back to my room, and the keys didn't work. I had to go back to the front desk and get new keys. My first thought was someone else got the room yet again. Thankfully that didn't happen. Again I complained to the front desk and have yet to hear from management.
