The location is quiet and there is plenty of parking. The bed is comfortable with lots of pillows. My room had no art work on the walls, but it looks like there are hangers for art. My room could use a little more detailed cleaning and a coat of paint as there are scrapes and scratches on the walls and trim .

We stayed here 1 night as we were attending a concert in the area. We didn’t spend much time there. It was clean, cheap, and served its purpose. Would recommend if you need something decent near the UT campus.

Good Value

I'm wheelchair dependent The ADA access is as good as the Premier hotels. This hotel needs an infusion of cash though. Chairs in lobby are hideous. Chair in my room is worn to the bone. But the bed is fine. TV is good. Front door guy is spectacular.
