Main lobby definitely needs some work done. Ceiling tiles were about to bust from water damage especially right over where the breakfast are was. It had a strange smell walking in to go check in and out.
The pool was not blue.. it was green.
In the room, walking in it looked nice. The toilet had a stain in the bottom that looked kind of like blood the didn’t go away after flushing. The sink and shower didn’t have much water pressure.
Overall it was a good stay. Was just a place for us to stay and sleep and get ready to go out.

Unfortunately, this hotel was the only place we were able to book given that it was busy that day due to a popular concert.

The positives were that we had a roof over our heads,we had safe place to sleep at night and the staff was friendly.

Now I wasn’t expecting anything fancy by any means, however this place lacked cleanliness.

All the linen was stained including the towels. They really need to invest in some new stuff because who knows how long it has been washed and reused for. It was literally falling apart as well.

Only was night was spent and it was do able, but the property owners and management should really consider upgrading linens, towels and pillows.

Urine on toilet, stained sheets and blankets, walls. Holes in walls, room not cleaned, Bath tub had a really huge patch on the inside of it and looked really gross, so you wouldn’t be able to take a bath, They also charged us 100.00 deposit, after we arrived, said it was for if the room got destroyed. This wasn’t listed on line when booking the reservation. Over all, don’t book this nasty, Gross hotel, It’s the worst we have ever seen and stayed at, didn’t sleep was scared I was going to catch something! Doesn’t look like the picture on line. The lighting in the room is very dim so you can’t see all the nasty and grossness! Also we told them it has a spot for an iron but no iron and he just looked at us like we were crazy! We took video and pictures we told them, They should have given us a refund!This hotel shouldn’t be on Hotel.com. Also was in a very bad area, looked like druggies walking around, went to a McDonald’s right by the hotel and we were in the middle of pay the guy at the window and he just started cussing at the other employees.Very bad area in Knoxville Tennessee, will never stay in Knoxville Tennessee again. Also was to scared to eat the free breakfast after seeing and staying in a gross Hotel.

The motel was close to the event we attended, so a plus on that. However, the motel is located in a kind of sketchy area, but we had no issues and felt fairly safe. There was a noisy group that came in around 2AM, did not appreciate their rudeness. The room was OK, the shower had a weird, springy bottom, made balance a little tricky. The motel could use a makeover and clean up the area around it. Worked well for our needs and the price was good.

Hotel nightmare

Stay Away from this property! Upon check in the 1st thing was a strong smell of weed. After getting into the room floors dirty, 2.lighys not working, mold on the AC & it.wasn't working. This isn't the worst. My son as he was bringing up some luggage found used needles & empty drug baggies around the property. This combined with the weed smell made me decide to for the 1st time in my life check out of the property before.even staying a night. When i went to the front desk and told the MOD that I was checking out she did ask why. I told her all of the above and ahe just.looked at me & started to process my check out.
I attempted to contact the hotel manager for.the next 2.days and i couldn't even get a person to answer the phone. Do yourself a favor pay a little more $$ and stay somewhere else.

Upon entering the room it had a terrible sewage/stale cigarette smell in a non smoking room. One the of pillows still had makeup on it from the previous guest. We informed the front desk that we need new sheets because of the makeup covered pillow and left again for the evening. 5 hours later we returned to the bed remade but the pillow with the making STILL HAD THE DIRTY PILLOW CASE ON IT. Went to front desk to get another pillow case and they said they didnt have any at the front desk, she reluctantly then gave me 2 pool towels. There were burns marks in the comforter as well. There was hair in the shower and the drain was in disrepair. The mirror looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a very long time.
