Great Stay! Very Dog Friendly

I was traveling to North Carolina and decided to split my trip in Knoxville. I chose this hotel because it was pet friendly. I also lived in the Knoxville area previously so I knew the location was close to I40 without the road by the hotel being very busy. It was so nice in the hotel. It was very clean and the staff were so friendly! They were also very accommodating for people traveling with dogs. They even had treats in the lobby. The hot breakfast the hotel provides was also great. All in all it was a great hotel!

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

Puleo's Grille is like a 2 minute drive from the hotel and they have a fabulous menu. The portions are a good size and everything is so fresh! They also have take out available if you don't want to eat at the restaurant. Even if I'm traveling, I don't see any reason that I have to have bad pizza or fast food for dinner.
