"The staff was incredible. The hotel was nice and smelled great. However, be prepared to pay for parking. The garage is about a block away and charges $20 a day. The hotel was recently opened so there was no gym and most of the electric did not work in the room. We had to move the refrigerator across the room and we had to plug the microwave into a bathroom outlet to make it work. The staff apologized and were super nice. There were "joints" on the floor in the lobby which smelled up everything....

"Nice hotel in a great position within Knoxville. The room was good but the aircon was slightly noisy. It was also a bit smaller than it looked I. the photos. We used the rooftop pool which was nice if a bit small and the breakfast was also good. There is only valet parking available and this is extra. Good value for money overall."
