6/10 Good
Curious staff, old rooms not a lot of traffic that goes to this location. Quite, rooms little older but if your looking for place to rest I would recommend. A lot cheaper than surround offers.

The room was very clean, brand new bathroom, staff was very attentive. Great option for the price especially on game day weekend. Short uber ride to UTK and the hotel was offering complimentary uber rides on game day, a very nice touch. Overall this is a great option when you just need a place to sleep.
