    Nothing, it was a horrible and gross experience I can't believe I paid so much for.

    Everything. First the room had a broken tv and microwave and only 1 lamp. The mini fridge leaked and there were roaches, gnats, and many other bugs in my room upon arrival. There also was mold all over the walls and nothing was very clean.

    The refrigerator kept my dinner leftovers cold.

    No toilet paper holder in a totally remodeled bathroom?? Sink faucet wouldn't shut off. Can't close bathroom door when sitting on the toilet. A/C unit was horribly loud Staff was rude

    1AnthonyPosted on: 3-25-2024

    Nothing at all the TV was messed up barely could watch it had no microwave no ice or ice bucket water pressure and shower was not good at all the shower barely worked

    2ScottPosted on: 10-18-2022

    Trying to get into the entrance was very hard and I had to leave earlier than intended and they still charged me for both days even though I had to leave after only one day. I would not stay at that motel again.

    1LynnePosted on: 10-18-2022

    Nothing!!

    This is the worst place I've ever stayed in. They changed our reservation and gave us a dirty room, no fridge or microwave. Ac/heat didn't work. Floors were very dirty. Staff was very rude.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-16-2022

    Close to airport. AC system was great - quiet.

    Toilet seat was yucky

    1VickiePosted on: 6-25-2022

    It was filthy!!!!!

    It was so rundown, dirty and moldy. Didn¿t even stay ¿¿

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 5-17-2022

    the price but i did not really like that because I would not stay in a hotel as bad as this. RUN away do not walk. I prepaid for 2 nights and it was non refundable and I did not stay there because it was so bad.

    extremely DIRTY, Bed and sheets had stains. bathroom was dirty and hair on the floor. the dorm fridge has something in the freezer that I could not identify. I was offered another room but it smelled of urine. I stayed at a another hotel and no refund

    3LazaroPosted on: 4-17-2022

    It was close to my warehouse.

    When I walked inside it smelled very bad the bed sheets where dirty with hairs, the bathroom had the paper toilet holder broken and the vent hanging off the wall. It was about 11 pm and someone was working on top of our room lots of noise around.

    1JosephPosted on: 4-11-2022

    Absolutely nothing. I couldn't wait for the sunrise to flee out of that place.

    TV didn't work. Telephone didn't work. Sheets, towels, blankets were all dirty, full of stains. Had to use my own blanket and sheet. The room was dusty and nasty.

    1AmandaPosted on: 3-21-2021

    The motel has roaches and the shower would not drain instead of the manager giving me another room he sent maintenance and they did nothing with the sitting water

    1AffirmincPosted on: 8-2-2020

    Absolutely nothing.....

    I Left promptly after walking into the room and finding it completely dirty the toilet was dirty the floor was greasy the bed sheets were dirty the bed itself was dirty the chair had blood on the arm and I was denied a refund and charged twice!!!!

    the smell in the office was horrible, the place was filthy dirty ,bugs in room. i walked into room looked around and left didn't stay. it was gross and drug users all around police were there when i arrived

    1EmilyPosted on: 10-16-2018

    It had a bed

    We found a heroine needle and drugs stowed above the entry way to the bathroom. We found a mouse dropping on bedside table. You have to walk back and forth to the different hotel entrances to talk to the employees or get your card keys. TERRRRRRRIBLE

    3Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-4-2017

    The room was old. But for the price I paid, I really couldn't expect anything more. The bed was fine the sheets are nice. It was very close to the Knoxville airport which was great. All I really needed was a place just to lay my head for a few hours.

    The room needed a good cleaning. Even though it was old it was not overly clean. Again for what I paid and the proximity to the airport it was probably a good deal.

    2MichaelPosted on: 8-23-2017

    The manager was responsive to requests.

    Cleanliness, poorly maintained, infested with bedbugs.

    1DenaPosted on: 7-25-2017
