Days Inn by Wyndham Knoxville North

8/10 Good

"Pros: VERY comfortable bed and pillows; great lighting in the room, shower was fantastic! Cons: Towels were terrible and I didn't like the room door went to the outside. I only stayed one night - which I probably would again!"

360 Views~Indoor Pool~Theater~Game Room~Mini Golf~Fireplaces

8/10 Good

"Very nice cabin with amazing views. It is missing a hot tub. The spa was not great as the water went cold quickly. A dedicated hot tube on the porch with a view would be amazing. The place is huge and otherwise very very nice. Although in the mountains the cleaning was not up to what a luxury property should be."
