The front desk staff, valets and restaurant staff were great but our room smelled musty when w checked in and when we got back from dinner the floor was wet from the air conditioning. We called the desk from the room phone and nobody answered so I had to call with my cell to the main number and then someone answered. They sent someone to clean up the water and to replace the mini fridge as that wasn’t working either. They offered to move us to a different room, but it was late and the only available room had a king with a pullout and my son didn’t want to sleep on a pull out, can’t say I blame him. We were gone all day the next day and the floor was wet again once we got back. We had to have someone come up and use a wet vac. I didn’t ask to switch to a new room the 2nd night because it was already late and we were leaving at 5 the next morning. We have to go to Knoxville multiple times a year and will find another place to stay.

We stayed 2 nights, one elevator was not working for the whole time. Many people had to walk stairs… there was a gun show along with students moving into UTK. Staff overall was very nice but not enough of them. Tv at the bar outside didn’t work for football games and that bar was severely understaffed.

The location is great and the room was clean and comfortable. That said, this hotel is in dire need of a renovation. It has a 90s feel and the wear is showing in the decor. During our stay, there was something wrong with the elevators which led to long wait times.

So So.

The hotel is conveniently located near the convention center. It was nice to be able to walk over. Every person we spoke with was great. Got the feeling they just wanted to make our stay fabulous. The room was ok. It was the smallest bathroom without a vent fan. I like a hot shower and without a fan it’s very steamy for a long time. Was not the cleanest place I’ve stayed. I didn’t feel as if I would catch a disease. Could have been cleaner. The sink had cracks in it. The pool area is lacking. No restroom near by. Overall lack luster.

The hotel is in a great location - walkable to market square, gay st., and old city. The rooms are a bit dated, the lobby and restaurant/bar area are nice. The outside bar was closed when we were there but looked like a nice area with a fire pit. The pool area has much to be desired so if you’re looking to hang at the pool this hotel is not for you. Staff was very nice and parking very easy, valet or self park, you pay for it but that is the same in all hotels located in a city.
