This hotel needs a total remodel. It was nasty. Walls half painted, same color, half gloss half matte. Bathroom floors chipped and dirty. Refrigerator needed defrosted. My grandchildren thought it was snow and started eating it.

Great location while visiting University of Tennessee and exploring the Smoky Mountains. Room and building are extremely run down...that said, water was hot and sheets were clean so it worked in a pinch. Staff very nice and helpful.

Perfect for our 2 night stay.

Hotel is in a safe area with 2 other hotels. Quick drive to downtown. Seems older, but mainly renovated. An odd amount of rusting since it is not near the ocean. (Bring your own hair dryer.) There was always fresh coffee available. Hotel does not have breakfast. The front office staff was helpful.
