High quality, inexpensive motel. Very quiet and modern. Loved the keypad door locks, much better than key cards. This will be my motel of choice when visiting the area.

We stayed overnight while on a trip. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We could park right in front of our room, which is nice. Food and gas was nearby. It wasn’t fancy, but I felt like I was in a good spot.

Though it's not the Hilton it is a very clean and practical motel. Drive right up to your room. Makes for easy unloading of your luggage. No long walks from the parking lot down a corridor to your room. Everything you need for an overnight stay. Great place to stay if you're going to the Knoxville Speedway. Just a short 30 minute drive. Refrigerator, microwave, flat screen TV, soap and shampoo. I highly recommend and we'll stay there again.

pretty bare bones room, but clean and comfortable. The price reflected the bare bones, which I appreciated, and though not plush, my room had everything I needed. The man who checked me in was friendly, courteous, and efficient.
