Very clean. Nice, friendly staff. No breakfast offered (possibly due to COVID, but we stayed at other hotels that were offering breakfast...so probably not a valid excuse any more) Located in North Knox. Not a great part of town, but a quick drive to everything we needed.

The building “looks” good as for appearance, but my toilet would not flush and my sink barely drained. That in itself made for the start of a bad trip. And then there was no coffee brewed in the morning, had to ask them to brew a pot. Also, we were under the impression that there was a complimentary breakfast but there was only cook to order breakfast. And the menu items were high priced. This is the second time that I booked a room that was rated with excellent reviews on Travelocity and both were far from excellent. I would give this hotel a 3 out of 5 stars. The facility was clean, staff was somewhat pleasant, but the hotel as a whole was somewhat a let down.
