Overnighter

All in all it was what I would expect from a hotel in this price range. I've seen worse and I've had better for the money. It was close to our daily destinations, and we enjoyed the breakfast which was so much better than the "continental breakfast" of juice, coffee and doughnuts. The woman working the breakfast kitchen was very pleasant to chat with, and overall it was a nice place to stay for one night over. I only wondered why when we made our reservation for a no smoking room were we offered a smoking room and then had to ask if no smoking was available before we got it. If it was available why not just say so from the beginning?

Great Overnighter

This motel pretty much across the street from the Knoxville airport was charming, neat, clean and tidy. The rate I paid was well below other motels in the area thus it was a bargain as well. I would highly recommend this motel and their diligent staff to any wishing an overnight stay near the airport
