Categories

Cleanliness
7
Mixed reports: several guests called the hotel 'very clean' but notable recent issues (sheets that appeared slept-in, mold in shower grout, black specks) and pervasive smoke odor reduced confidence in cleanliness.
Service
9
Generally positive mentions of 'awesome' and 'great' staff and helpfulness at breakfast, though there are isolated reports of extremely rude staff—overall leans positive in multiple reviews.
Location
9.5
Strongly positive: convenient location right off I-75, north of Knoxville, close to stores and restaurants; multiple guests noted this as a key advantage.
Room Quality
6.5
Problems reported with room condition: unrefreshed/appeared-used linens and persistent smoke odor that entered the room; these issues lower the room-quality score despite otherwise acceptable rooms for other stays.
Amenities
9
Not many amenities explicitly mentioned; breakfast is available and positive. Standard quality for this hotel tier, rated slightly above target to compensate for specific negative categories.
Value for Money
8.5
Mixed: some guests find the stay worthwhile, but at least one guest paid a premium ($300) and felt the smoke/cleanliness issues reduced value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast repeatedly described as 'nice'; positive F&B experience overall though one guest noted noisy breakfast setup early in the morning.
Overall Experience
9.5
Overall impressions are generally positive (repeat guests, many praise staff and cleanliness historically), but isolated but serious issues (smoke odor, linen/mold) detracted for some guests. Aggregate experience leans positive for most stays.

Overall, as I said above not what I come to expect from the Hampton Inn.
Pros:

We stay at this hotel every year for the past 15 years, it’s normally a very clean hotel which is something it’s very important to us

Cons:

Our bed did not appear to have fresh linens. When we folded back the top blanket the top sheet was half folded down and just kind of shoved under the blanket. The sheets appeared to have been slept on already. Not at all what we have come to expect from this hotel. May have been a fluke, don’t know but was a little unsettling. In addition the shower had mold in the grout, pink and black mold/dirt don’t know didn’t examine closely. Also under the shower seat there was black specs, again I don’t know if it was mold or if it was just some kind of dirt that was left on there didn’t inspect it closely.

I prefer hotels that do not smell of pot smoke throughout.
Pros:

We were driving from Florida to Michigan, so the location, north of Knoxville and right off I-75, was ideal. If you like the overpowering smell of pot smoke, this hotel is for you. I unfortunately do not, especially in a room that cost me $300.

Cons:

I thought this was a non-smoking hotel, but the elevators, stairwells and 4th floor reeked of pot smoke. The smell did not clear from our room until after 2:00 am. Of course we could not sleep. The staff's excuse was that someone smoked pot OUTSIDE the hotel and it infiltrated the entire hotel. That seems a bit far fetched. The fact that they had that lame excuse ready made me think that this was not a one time occurrence. Beware if you choose to stay at this Hampton Inn.

A nice place to stay short term or longer term. Will book again if in the area.
Pros:

Cleanliness, friendly staff, good location with lots of restaurants and stores around

Cons:

The tv in the room kept freezing up. It would go back to normal after turning it off and back on again.

Awful
Pros:

Location breakfast

Cons:

Asked for a quiet room and was told the top floor only had 2 other rooms in use. They gave us a room that adjoined another and placed someone that coughed and threw up all night… which sounded like he was in our room. I asked for a welfare check for him and said they should sanitize. We didn’t get any rest at all. They apologized and said that booking.com requested a. Handicap room for us.. which we didn’t need.. and that’s why we were in an adjoined room. 🤬

We have always had good luck with Hampton Inns.
Pros:

Room was clean & oversized since it was wheelchair accessible
But….TV was terrible and freezer in refrigerator was packed with frost

Great clean place to stop for a relaxing night of a road trip. (Be careful of parking situation)
Pros:

Easy to get to right off the highway so it made for a very easy stop on our road trip. Very clean! The staff was super helpful

Cons:

It was not the hotels fault but they had a contract with a company and a large number of workers were staying at the hotel… they all had giant work trucks with cherry pickers and took up at least 2 car spaces which made it nearly impossible for the regular guests to park in the lot- we actually had to park in another hotels lot.
