The staff is money hungry. I booked a double standard size queen beds with a max capacity of 4 people. They still took $15 for each extra guess 2 others) because they said it shouldn’t be more than 2 people to a room. Well why have the option online? Bathrooms need remodeling and walls need to be wipe. Cigarette burns under the mattresses on both beds. Lady who was one of the cleaners got upset and had an attitude because we asked for more towels. I wouldn’t recommend anyone staying here. Worst 24hrs ever spent at a hotel!

This was an absolute disaster of a property and service, i was not embarrassed that i booked or for my family and friend, i also worried about safety Upon checking in the staff was non attentive and more concerned on listening to their ear pods then they were with the checking in guest. Upon entering the room it had obvious spots of dirt and mud on the bathtub/shower and bathroom sink area. There were multiple stink bugs on the wall and ceiling that were noticeable to anyone cleaning the room. The physical door to the outside had a gap of noticeable size allowing light, noise, whatever in. The bolt lock to the door would not secure to the frame and we had to Wedge furniture in the door to assure safety. The tv had no connection to cable, satellite whatever the property uses. Multiple electrical ouutlets did not work and only two lights out of the 8 lights in the room actually worked. Had it not been returning after midnight from our event and that we paid, I would have immediately canceled the room and driven back home (over 5 hours). My teenage sons felt so unsafe and unclean that they slept in their clothes on top of the beds. I am so appalled by this experience that i am strongly contemplating contacting Red Roof Corporate, which is in my hometown, to request some level of reimbursement as well as I strongly urge Expedia to remove this location from their offerings so as to not damage your corporate reputation due to this association.

When we checked in the woman was very rude. When I tried to ask her a question she was very short with me. There was a bra on the ground outside our room and I told the staff and they just left it there.

For the price this is a good option. It is clean and the rooms have LVF, which is much nicer than carpet. The area feels safe and it’s a quick ride to UTK. When you only need the hotel to sleep and don’t care about the amenities this is a good choice.

Hotel very run down. Owners need to invest in property. Had to change rooms because the first room was so dirty, ceiling was falling in, toilet seat broke, bedskirt had something disgusting on. I did not want to stay at this hotel but was not able to get my money back. 2nd room was somewhat better but still housekeeping could use some training. Local people told us that we where in a bad part of Knoxville they called it hookerville.

4.5 stars out 5 rating bc the property was great exception of few minor details. Towels were thin and only 2 per room, blankets on the bed were thin as sheets, ac worked great but was a little loud. But if you are just resting your head for a quick place to sleep, then for the price this is a great place to stay. The pool was exceptional.Front staff was very friendly and quick service.
