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.

Bugs
There was cockroaches in the room and I left one day early because I could not take it. I am going to contact the management for my money back as I could not even finish my trip or even invite my children to stay with me while visiting. I had to bag all my things and get them professionally cleaned. It was not the service as the room was as clean as it could be for being old; however, the management needs to take care of the bugs.
