traveling with a moderate budget, traveling for leisure
If you plan on visiting Knoxville, do not stay at this hotel. The owner lives in it and the place wreaks of a horrible smell and I think alot of comes from his room. The hotel is a dump, it is filled with cheap antique furniture and dirty carpets and rotting floors. The staff is totally uncaring and seemed more bothered by you if you have any complaints (if you can even find any staff, the place closes up including the desk at 9pm and you are out of luck). They do nothing to fix what is wrong with your room. The A/C unit is awful, very noisy and turns off and on all night.
The only good thing about this place is location, but there are other hotels in the same area that you can stay at and still be downtown. STAY AWAY from this place, you will be sorry if you stay at this nightmare of a hotel.
