We chose this hotel because it seemed like a good value during parents weekend ($300 p/n). The hotel was dirty and smelled like pesticide. The sleeping room was dark and dingy and the AC sounded like an airplane ready for takeoff. The bathroom had mildew and water pressure wasn’t great. We reserved for 2 nights but ended up cancelling the second night and moving to a Courtyard by Marriott. It was $30 more per night and 1000% nicer.

Swing of opinions

BWs are hit or miss sometimes. I have stayed at some great and some not so great. This Downtown Knoxville location is not downtown imo, it is close, but you are not walking to your meeting. The bed and bedding was very comfortable, the light shades worked great and I slept very well. The room was quiet even though the hotel was full. I was a bit concerned about parking, I arrived at 1AM, long drive from the midwest, and found parking. I had no issues during my stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. I stayed 3 nights. I found the room a decent size, decor a bit dated but the place was clean and fully functional. The breakfast was basic, waffle and cereal. I do feel an easy improvement would include hard boiled egg, maybe I missed them. Not much for gluten free options, but it was enough for me, I was not on vacation.

The breakfast was fine, and the server was terrific. The bed was comfortable. The room smelled of mildew, probably because the air filter needed changing. Our room key needed to be changed out three times in our five day stay because it wouldn't work.

Great resort for kids. Main areas are new and updated looking. Rooms were out of date with old run down flooring... Kinda smelled. Best Western hotel rooms felt luxury compared to these rooms . For a resort a not worth the money.

I had a car accident tonight before and wasn’t gonna be able to make it but I rented a Uber to make it there for my reservation. Once I arrive there was $150 deposit that was required for whatever reason which was not disclosed when I ordered the room. And once I arrived and the lady at the front desk told me about the deposit. She also made the statement that they do not usually rent Rooms to locals. I was unable to stay in the room that I paid for due to these issues. I’m very unsatisfied with how the situation was handled and will never be using that hotel again.

Nice hotel with pool and hot tub.

Clean, quiet hotel. Easy access to downtown Knoxville. The only thing I didn't like is what they sprayed the room with to freshen it up. I really couldn't stand the smell of it.

Worst experience I have every had a hotel!

No one was there to check us in until approximately 3:30. I sat on the couch and was covered in animal hair when I stood up. One of the beds was broken and shook and creaked with every move. There was no pillows or blankets for the pull out couch. No safe to secure your items even though the door stated it did. Garbage sitting by elevator for a day and a half. Bloody towels in hallway floor 3 doors from us. Television remote only worked on down button. The refrigerator froze all our stuff solid even though we turned it all the way down. Apparently the knob is broke. It’s described as Downtown and it is not. After all of this, upon checkout the doors on the elevator were closing as we were walking off. My granddaughter was pushing on door yelling. Luckily my other granddaughter was still inside and hit the open button. The woman behind the desk didn’t even get out of her chair to see what was happening. I went to the desk to talk to her about it. She just said I’ll let maintenance know. In my opinion she should have blocked elevator access instantly. I hope and pray someone doesn’t get hurt or worse before it’s taken care of.
