When we first arrived, the hotel took our breathe. Lobby was so beautiful! Staff very friendly. We got in the room, was blowed away by how again, beautiful! I got in the bathroom and it wasn't as clean as I thought it should have been, hair here and there. Coffee pot was left with used filters, a roach crawled over my shoe down in the lounge area, check out the next day was 12 noon, staff started at 10:30 am, asking if we were leaving and kept coming back every 30 minutes, till we finally left at 11:45. I probably will stay again, but not anytime soon. The bed was the only great experience! I don't know what kind of mattress is on these beds, but they were awesome!
Positives: The friendly staff, the mattress.
Negatives: Not clean, roaches in lounge, cleaning maids knocking every 30 minutes to see if room is empty.

Negatives: There's not one in the town I live.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 22 Nov 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
The rooms are comfortable and stylish. The bathroom is adequate tho a bit on the small side. The staff is friendly and helpful. The lobby is especially attractive and welcoming. In a safe, downtown location. The $5 self parking fee seems reasonable.
Positives: Very attractive lobby.
Negatives: The bathroom is rather small.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 29 Sep 2008 rated 7 out of 10.
Great location for business traveler in downtown Knoxville. I would suggest the valet if you have<BR/>any luggage, as parking is terrible. Also, the room was dated and small for the star level.
Positives: The location in downtown is great.
Negatives: The parking and room were poor.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 27 Sep 2008 rated 1 out of 10.
The first night I was there, sirens and emergency vehicles went by every couple of minutes. Therefore I got no sleep. Even the ear plugs that the hotel provided were not sufficient for the amount of noise. I complained to the staff the next day. They said that they could move me to the back side of the hotel, but that there is a train track back there and the interstate is behind there also. So they didn't think it would be any more quiet back there. I therefore endured another sleepless night of noise the next night. They didn't offer any more solutions, or try to make up for my dissatisfaction. I won't make the mistake of staying there again.
Positives: Very nice hotel with great facilities.
Negatives: I did not get any sleep either night I was there because of noise!
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 13 Sep 2008 rated 7 out of 10.
The lobby stood out with a certain elegance and the rooms were comfortable and pleasant. I felt like royalty staying there. I did wake up to the sounds of construction on the floors above.
Positives: Very elegant.
Negatives: Woke up to the sound of construction in the hotel.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 05 Sep 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Positives: Excellent location, great restaurant and bar, clean and comfortable.
Negatives: Only thing that could make it any better is an outside pool.

Excellent customer service. They thought of everything right down to the ear plugs, eye mask, and linen spray! Very satisfied with my stay.
Positives: Customer service was excellent.

Perfect for the business traveler - friendly staff - $5 per day for parking - close to University of Tennessee.
Positives: Super warm pool and extra-nice exercise areas.
Negatives: Neighborhood was not the prettiest.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 29 Aug 2008 rated 1 out of 10.
Nice place to meet in the lobby, but don't sleep there. Dirty bathroom (hair), obviously didn't have an operational vacuum cleaner. Even 2nd rooms floor was filthy. Used tissues behind furniture, crumbs and hair everywhere, no shampoo, broken alarm clock, not completely emptied trash cans, etc. Plus--would not offer anything off bill or towards another possible stay (NOT).
Positives: The lobby.
Negatives: Filthy rooms.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 24 Aug 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
Attentive, courteous clean professional.
Positives: Everything went as expected.
Negatives: I liked everything.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 19 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Very comfortable and they make every effort to make your stay relaxing for the traveler. The only down-side is limited free parking. They do have valet parking, but whether you use that service or not, they still charge $5.00 per night to park in the parking garage; however, the parking garage is secured.
Positives: Very quiet rooms with relaxation CD, eye mask, ear plugs and lavender spray.
Negatives: The pillows were way too soft.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 19 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Overall, for the price, this was a very decent hotel with great service and location. The only issue was the strong smoky odor on the non-smoking floor (fifth floor).
Positives: Loved the live piano music at the restaurant.
Negatives: The non-smoking floor smelled of smoke. The second after stepping out of the elevator.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 19 Aug 2008 rated 6 out of 10.
The rooms were very small. Not good if traveling with children.
Positives: Great location.
Negatives: Rooms were too small.
