We stayed for four nights. Towel, wash clothes only changed out once. We went to the local Walmart and bought additional towels. The toilet would not flush. The chain from the flush handle to the to the rubber flapper was not attached as the chain hook had rusted out. The tv remote did not work. Pulled the cover off the remote to find corroded batteries. The room overall was very dirty looking with the carpet and general condition very "tired".

We love this place!

We stayed here because we had no electricity or water at our home in Roan Mountain. But I will say that this has not been our first stay at Travelers Inn. We stay here a lot and we love it! Front desk people and housekeeping are so wonderful extremely Pleasant and helpful. The rooms are clean but they are dated but you can't beat the price!

The staff was absolutely amazing! They called before check out to ask if we would like to book another night. No other hotel we have ever stayed at has EVER been so courteous, especially during a time when so many people are looking for a place to stay due to the recent Northeast Tennessee Flooding. We greatly appreciate their hospitality. The room was surprisingly big, and had a wonderful layout. Some modern/cosmetic upgrades, and it could be such a beautiful place. Our only concern was the cleanliness of the room. You could clearly see that it had not been cleaned very well, and it would have been nice if they had of used bleach on the linens & towels so they would smell better. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay, and the bed was more comfortable than most other hotels we have stayed at. We would definitely consider staying there again in the future. We thank the Travelers Inn for their kindness.

Easily the worse hotel I’ve ever been in. Carpets had never been cleaned. Walls had bugs on them. Bathroom floor and shower was filled with hair. It was unwelcoming. There was an inch gap between the floor and the entrance door. Anything could come through. We do not recommend.
