Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The room was clean & comfortable. Although the bathroom area definitely needs some repairs. The shower tile was needing a good cleaning, the soap holders in the shower were loose, the paint on the walls were bubbly/rippled due to moisture, the shower rod was very cheap/flexible, bending
Breakfast was hot and fresh and well stocked, staff was very friendly and accommodating, plenty of parking and was safe and well let - room was very clean and I appreciate the fact that the beds had protective encasements on them.
Traveling through Knoxville and came in around 8:30-9:00. During check-in staff were unpleasant with no personality. Bordered on rude. Lobby area was clean and pleasant. Got to our room which was clean but had had terrible odor. We were afraid of what was left over but to tired from the days travels to care. Sheets were clean so we slept. Wouldn’t recommend room 322
