Like always, never less than a perfect stay!
Pros:

This is pretty much the only place I stay when in Knoxville. Whether coming for a ballgame, concert, or just to get away for a night or two, this always an awesome stay. The employees are simply the best! It’s always refreshing to be treated to the orange or lemon sliced water upon arrival. What a great idea!

Nice property in a convenient location, but somewhat noisy.
Pros:

The suite layout was very good since we were traveling with our grandson. The complimentary breakfast was very good.

Cons:

The interstate location has its downsides. While convenient, it seemed the windows were not very substantial. Both raspy motorcycles and emergency vehicles going past would be estremely loud in the room, waking me several times.
