10/10 Excellent
"Staff were good but I couldn’t get a restaurant recommendation from anyone. Other than that, the bar downstairs is good. The restaurant upstairs was delicious. I recommend trying the squid. An all around great hotel experience. If I’m ever forced back into Knoxville, it’s where I’ll stay."
