I went off of the reviews and rating which clearly are not inaccurate or misleading cause I wouldn’t stay there ever again. Whoever does housekeeping needs to be replaced and possibly the management whom should be on top of the cleanliness of the rooms, and there’s no way that it’s not been addressed by other guests.

My family loved the lobby and breakfast area. We were able to have a variety of food choices and there was plenty of seating options for us to sit and eat altogether (there were 5 of us). Unfortunately, since the pool was outside, and it was raining, we were unable to swim during our stay. Our room was clean and we were able to get a good rest in the beds.

The room was nice. The shower gel dispenser was empty. Beds were comfortable. TV signal was bad because of heavy rain. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Your typical hot hotel breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, yogurt, bagels, toast, coffee, waffles, juice, milk, cereal. They left the coffee machine on all day, so you could get coffee anytime. The pool was nice and clean. But the hot tub was green and smelled awful.

I do not recommend this place even for a last minute stay. When I checked in. I traveled with a friend that also had a room for themselves. The building my room was had a door that looked like someone punched and cracked the window, the hallway smelled like feet and was very humid. In the room they gave me, my bed had yellow stains, the “desk area” looked like it was missing half the desk or something from the wall, the flush handle on the toilet was already broken and never fixed, there were pills left in the nightstand along with used napkins, the closet doors were also broken. My friends room was in a similar state with bed stains and broken features in the room. We immediately checked out and found a different hotel in the area. The staff was very helpful and surprised at the state of my room which they saw for themselves.

The room we were presented with had mold growing in it and smelled awful. When we complained they offered us a different room but said it because it is an old building. The floors were damp and moisture was on the walls and TV. They would not refund only offer new room. For being non smoking facility when you are walking through the halls all you can smell is smoke and marijuana. Over all very run down facility.

Offers free WiFi, pool, hot tub and more. Staff was very friendly, place was kept clean but building was a bit older and maybe not fully maintained. Looks like it needs some repair or remodeling.

Great location wise, next to lots of great restaurants options much in walking distance from the stay. Steakhouses, Italian restaurants and much more.

The lobby and breakfast areas were nice, but the room itself wasn’t that great. Breakfast was mediocre, scrambled eggs were clearly from a mix. No hot oatmeal or hard boiled eggs. My son enjoyed the waffles. Nothing else to accommodate a gluten free diet. It was fine for a couple nights, but not amazing.

The best part of my stay was that the mattresses were firmer than most of those in hotels at this level. There is a chance that they are just newer than most or what I've experienced, since they did not have dip in the middle. The worst part of my stay was the lack of cleaning of the carpeted area around the beds, where you just feel the grim and have odd pieces of hair that sticks to your feet. In the end, I'd stay again for price point.

Floor was mostly linoleum but had a nasty slippery finish to it. Could have been pet urine for all I know.
Blinds were terrible, letting in a lot of light from parking lot lights that should have been pointed away from the the windows instead of to it. Only 1 towel for 3 people registered. They did fix that. In short, tired old hotel that needs a wrecking ball.

The hallway reeked of marijuana the entire stay! The room we were given was musty smelling and there was several niches in the wall and floor boards were missing. The kitchenette was a nasty hot pot with a dirty frying pan. Dinnerware was plastic 50 cent plates and various dinner knifes. No glasses or anything else. The only good thing about the room was hot water and air conditioning. Though the AC did start to make a loud knocking noise. The breakfast was ok but not anything to get excited about. (Waffle iron which is typical hotel and powdered eggs)
Staff were rude and not helpful at all. Keep saying he hated his job and this place.

The room was clean and comfortable and the hotel has a nice courtyard pool area. On a 3-night stay, our room wasn’t cleaned once (and we were never told there wouldn’t be). There are no safes in the rooms. Also, parking became a huge issue at night because several large trucks/trailers took up dozens of spots. The location is very convenient. I definitely would’ve given a better rating if the few issues above hadn’t arisen.

Our check in at the Red Roof Inn PLUS & Suites Knoxville West was a breeze. The ladies at the front desk were very friendy and efficient. The main reception area of the lobby has been remodeled and is aesthetically pleasing. Our room however was around the side of the hotel towards the back. The hallways and rooms beyond the reception area are fairly outdated. They were clean and we had mostly everything we needed. There was a strong smell of marijuana coming from neighboring rooms however. We were in town for a concert and for the price point and location we were okay with the condition of the hotel for one night, however I would not choose to stay here an extended amount of time. We came down for brekafast around 10:30 which smelled great however it was already all put up and we were disappointed. Overall, it is a good bare bones hotel with a good location for an overnight quick stay as long as you aren't high maintenance or bougie.

Hotel could use a little renovation/updating as the hallways. The rooms seemed fairly updated. The ceiling in our room had recently had the “popcorn ceiling” put up or something because it had bubbled up and fell on the desk in the room. Staff was great with the few interactions I had with them. Breakfast was fresh and tasted good. The ice machine was broke and the soda vending machine was too cold and had froze all the drinks. AC/Heat worked great. Bed and pillows were fairly comfortable. We really liked the patio area (booked as balcony but we were on 1st floor). Overall not too bad for the price.

The odor of the room hits you in the face as soon as you walk in. We couldnt even really describe it. The room/property is very out dated. The sheets are worn thin. There was a stain on one of the sheets. The exterior door had and area in the glass that must have been hit by something very hard there were spider cracks in it. The room appeared to have been swept, mopped, and vacuumed but stains remained on carpet area. Dust covered the tattered lamp shade. The remote had electrical tape covering the battery. The remote did not work. The staff was polite. The AC worked well. We did not stay long enough to use any amenities and probably wouldnt have anyway considering the room condition.

No waffle mix available, has to settle with just eggs and sausage and no salt or pepper available. It would've been a perfect breakfast for anyone that only eats cereal, yogurt, fruit and bagels. Overall, it was ok but not great. Smelled like cigarette smoke and weed in the hallways. It was clean though, that's pretty much what matters most to me. I've had worse experiences for sure.

This was one of the dirtiest hotel rooms I have ever been given. The bathtub had what appeared to be human waste and hair in it, the toilet seat had urine on it, bugs were inside the light fixture, and the room clearly had not been cleaned. We also paid for a Premium Room upgrade that advertised upgraded bedding and snacks which were not provided. The stairwell smelled strongly of marijuana and the hot tub we specifically booked for closes at 9pm and appeared poorly maintained. Completely unacceptable. Photos of these conditions have been documented.

The place wreaked of marijuana!! I told them that I could smell it when I walked in and they went into great detail about their no smoking policy! Or lack there of. The room had updated flooring and sink, but the walls and ceiling were needing repair. The hotel location is good, and breakfast was great! The bed seemed to be newer and was very comfortable. The girl at the desk told me she couldn't print me a receipt, she just didn't want to or know how. I have been using hotels.com for years and I always get a receipt at the desk. This was good enough for a overnight travel stop. But I wouldn't recommend it due to the overwhelming pot smoke odor in the stairwells and lobby.

*Beware* upon waking up the next morning we found a bed bug on a towel in the bathroom. Alerted the front staff and they gave us a comp on our stay, but still was not pleased. She told me that the bug people were just there the day before, so clearly there must be some sort of problem they know about. Also, at the breakfast, spotted a roach crawling on one of the handrails.

The room was just ok. It looked like they attempted to paint the rooms at some time and it just started peeling. You could also tell that whoever repainted the rooms didn't really care as there was paint on the baseboards and things. The bathroom amenities were ok, even though the soap dispenser kept falling off the wall. Also the tub had terrible, permanent stains in it. The water pressure was decent, but nothing to really write home about.

Had it not been for the bed bugs and roaches, i probably would have given it 3 stars. Unfortunately upon me returning home, noticed that my son and myself both had multiple bites on our skin. Luckily the wife and daughter hasn't had anything as of yet. I would definitely use caution if you choose to stay here.
