We were in town for the East TN Fishing Show at the Knoxville Expo Center. Our room was clean. The staff was super friendly. The showers were amazing. Great water pressure, unlike most hotels. The only negative thing I can say is the beds are hard as rocks. Other than that the hotel was great.

For a 2 star hotel, it works.
It's a 2 star hotel, but it was clean and staff was friendly. I read reviews that mentioned roaches. I never saw any. I do worry about the $100 damage deposit because the floor around the in room refrigerator in room 119 was scratched up and there were 2 set in rusty colored stains on the interior shower curtain, plus one light bulb didnt work initially but the lamp was not plugged in properly. Previous reviews on google suggest that the hotel tries to keep your damage deposit, but we took care leaving no damages, tears or stains behind than what was already there. You have to ask for extra towels - only 2 in the room. Pillows were not fluffy, kinda flat, bed was harder than what I like but that is a me problem not them as it was probably an average mattress for most. Water pressure and heat was awesome. Other reviews were correct about that. Noise wise, it is close to a fire department and if they go by...yes you will know it. We heard the sirens the first night. It is close to a lot of food options which is a plus. It was close to downtown without the pricing of downtown hotels. It is dog friendly which was great since i was in town for a dog show. If you're expecting more than a 2 star hotel, you will be disappointed but if you need a budget friendly place, I would recommend this hotel.

Stay away if you want to rest!
Very outdated .. walls have chipped paint and over the shower we literally had blistered peeling paint. One towel per person and very little soap or shampoo. LOUD!! So loud you are unable to rest. I could hear the man snoring next door! Nothing really for quick breakfast. Longest night we’ve ever had at a hotel. Beware
