Stayed at this site from june 11-june 13. Staff at the location were very friendly and helpful. Mvp was the valet sorry i didnt get your name. If you are planning on bringing your car just park at the locust garage which is right next to the hotel garage and way cheaper. The reasoning for 3 stars is because the cleanliness in room(we checked in and room garbage wasn't full taken out, empty water bottle on the floor and roach in the hallway). Hotel's pool was not operational as per front desk.

The valet parking was such a mess, contantly people parked on the left when cars trying to get through. Or not pulling a little forward on the right to allow people through. Most of the valet were good about flow but some didnt seem to care at all and this was really frustrating as someone getting transportation from the hotel. The firetrucks heading out all the time was a lot. A heads up on being prepared for that would have been nice. I know theres nothing you can do about emergency services and location.

Bad service, bad decisions

We were there for probably one of the busiest wknds in Knoxville. The hotel was 100% at capacity and for some reason, the hotel decided to put down new carpet at the elevators which shut down 2 of 3 elevators starting in the morning. Unbelievable. Not a note to be found anywhere. I waited on the 15th floor for 20+ minutes on my way to a show (which I was now late for). I had no idea what the issue was but I finally walked down the 15 flights of stairs to find there was no elevator service. Why they couldn't at the very least put up signs on each floor is beyond me. No apologies, nothing. Not likely to stay here again.
