It was a very easy check in. The two staff members I had interactions with were absolutely sweet and understanding. Unfortunately, I had to cut my stay short due to uninvited six legged friends that decided to come out around midnight. I was refunded in a timely manner after being offered a new room (which I declined). If the bug problem is handled better in the future I would stay here again.

My son and I stayed for the Tennessee football game. We knew this wasn't a 'nice hotel' but the cleanliness was not good. We both had many bed bug bites, which is unacceptable for any hotel. It's just lazy. I was not happy with the stay, again, knowing it wasn't going to wow me, but was still very disappointed and am now dealing with the itching and irritation of sleeping on one of the beds. Disgusting. Will not be staying again.

The hotel is older but clean for the most part. It has some poorly repaired areas that make it appear less than clean. The bathroom was clean and tidy. The floors had some worn areas but the bed and linens were comfortable and clean Overall, I would stay there again.

Check in rep was extremely friendly and helpful. No breakfast, I just assumed it would. Coffee in the airpots but it was almost cold. Checked out around 8am Hotel was quiet. Room really needs updated. Found a roach crawling in the entrance hallway in the room. Outlets built into the light between the beds, only 1 worked and it was iffy. Had to pull out the nightstand and plug in there.

Not one, I stayed in a room with live and dead roaches. Next morning, I asked him to move me and when I did, the room smelled so bad. I just left the hotel and did not use the room. Line was too long to talk about it as I was going to the game, I called to ask for some resolution and they would not give a refund so doing a Visa chargeback.

Get what you pay for
You get what you pay for. Had roaches in first room but were moved to another. Room was a little better. Building is very run down and needs a lot of work. Was very close to Neyland stadium which was the reason we were there.
