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.

Honestly, i have a very mixed feelings about this hotel. I do travel a lot and stayed at different hotels, but this one was different. First of all i could not check in in a lobby, it wasn't late at all maybe 5 min before 9. Second of all had to talk through small window with no microphone, third of all had to pay $100 secure refundable deposit wich i wasn't aware of. Room was ok , but towel and sheet had pubic hair on it (very disgusting) Please don't relay on breakfast, it looked more like breakfast for homeless (shelter like) Before i checked out , front desk person had to go physically and check our room before releasing our deposit. Will i stay again here? NEVER!!! As i said it was very weird stay.

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.
