Categories

Cleanliness
6.5
Multiple reports of unclean rooms and common areas (hair in shower, leftover pizza in fridge, trash on check-in, some rooms smelling of mold), lowering this score below average.
Service
8.6
Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful, with several positive mentions; however there are notable service failures (front desk disorganization, inability to handle large groups, room-key/occupied-room incident) that prevent a top score.
Location
9
Consistently praised as convenient and close to venues (UTK, soccer tournaments, track & field), making location a strong positive.
Room Quality
8.4
Many reviewers noted nice, newer-looking rooms and comfortable beds, though some experienced problematic rooms (mold smell, multiple room changes, dirty showers), giving an overall good but imperfect rating.
Amenities
9
Amenities are a highlight: indoor/outdoor pool, indoor basketball court, on-site restaurant, karaoke, pool table and darts frequently praised; minor issues like lack of change for laundry are noted but do not outweigh positives.
Value for Money
7.6
Mixed signals: several guests said price was good, but complaints about no complimentary breakfast and billed breakfast quality/price reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8
On-site restaurant receives positive mentions (good food, enjoyable events), but breakfast was called out as expensive and subpar for those who paid separately.
Overall Experience
7.7
Overall stays range from 'perfect' to seriously disrupted; many guests enjoyed the facilities and staff, but cleanliness and operational issues (room reassignments, occupied-room incident) produced notable negative experiences.

Pros:

Location was great for the Soccer tournament, I liked all the options for the kids to do

Cons:

Breakfast was posted to start at 6am so we scheduled the team to come down before we left for game but was told breakfast wouldn’t be ready until 7am, the coin machine and the front desk had no change for washing machines when they are hosting numerous soccer families for a tournament, when checked in to room there was still trash and shower was still dirty with hair on the wall

Stay here if you want to change rooms multiple times at 9:30 at night with a toddler and a six-year-old.
Pros:

It was close to my meeting the next morning

Cons:

We had to change rooms four times until there was one that would fit my family of four, had a working TV and didn’t reek of mold.

Good but no free breakfast
Pros:

It was clean and the beds were comfy. It had an indoor basketball court - pretty cool!

Cons:

It did not have a free breakfast and should have for the price.

It was very upsetting to walk into an occupied room late at night.
Pros:

It was close to UTK.

Cons:

They were very unorganized. We checked after 10pm. We were given a room and a key to an occupied room. We opened the door to a room that already had people in it.
