I expected more from a 3 star...

bathroom vanity hanging 1/4" off wall, pillow cases very soft because they must have been in use since the 1960s!

Quick night stop

Very easy to find and close to the interstate for a quick stop after a long drive. I personally cant stand staying in a nonsmoking room that smells like smoke, that's the biggest negative I have. Other then that nothing special but a good stay

First time staying in TN

This place is not clean and they did not even provide enough soap and shampoo... Breakfast is almost only bagel, juice and coffee... We were still starving after eating breakfast... Try to avoid it next time...

Basic accomodations.

Was there to sleep only. Gymnastics meet with my son. No frills, really. Clean enough and economical but the breakfast was the bare minimum, we went to Hardee's.

Nice room for the price

Just stayed one night to visit U of T. It was a nice room for the price. nothing special, just what I thought it would be. It was very close to down town and had a lot of good places to eat close by.

Time-saving tip: Short drive from hotel

The intersection outside the hotel can take some time to get through. Make sure you leave with time to spear. I would go around the block and hit the main road a little way down.
