Pros- the woman at the front desk was very nice and the hotel is fairly close to the stadium so that was nice. The price was decent, comparatively (it was a Tn/Alabama weekend) Cons-there is a large homeless population around that intersection and it appeared as though a couple of them were doing drugs on the stairs near our room both days. They didn’t bother us but I was uncomfortable. The room did not feel clean, (there was dust on the lamps, floors looked dirty, stains on the mattress covers). We will not stay there again.

This place is a DUMP. The office was closed the majority of our 3 day stay. They never once emptied the garbage cans in our room. The sink leaked and was missing the cover on the handle. The shower leaked from underneath so much the floor was a puddle everytime creating mold on the baseboards. The hair dryer didn't work and the cord on the coffee maker was pulled away exposing the wires. Holes in the bedspread. Bug in the bathroom. we were not there to see it, but there was a University of Tennessee football game Saturday, so the room I thought I was paying $74 a night for was actually only $74 for Thursday night, Friday and Saturday was $170 a night. THIS WAS IN NO SHAPE OR FORM a $170 a night room I don't care if the '72 Dolphins were playing the '85 Bears. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Worst experience ever.
First room we were in was dirty. Personal items from previous guests, dirty toilet etc. We requested another room and once we were moved the tv wasn’t working. I then asked for another room and when I returned to the desk I was just told I would be getting issued a refund, turned away and no further attempt was made to rectify the situation. When I expressed how frustrated I was the person at the desk actually said to me that I could expect that quality of service and standard from somewhere else as he then listed by name other hotels in the area, but that it was unrealistic to expect what I’d honestly consider to be the bare minimum here. I was frustrated by the issues with the rooms, but the complete lack of empathy and rather feeling as if I was annoying the people working in the office more than anything else really just left me speechless. I would recommend anyone looking for a place to stay in this area avoid this place like the plague.

The property was advertised as having breakfast included and laundry facilities. It had neither. We had booked this property for those 2 reasons as we have been travelling and need to do washing. When questioned about it the receptionist said it was something I would have to sort out with Expedia as that was who I booked through. Not very helpful and I would not recommend this place to anyone. The shower still had the used piece of soap from the previous occupants the fridge had water in the bottom of it. The bedspread had a burn hole the size of a quarter. Overall very poor

Nice surprise.
I've stayed at a lot of budget motels on this cross country trip and this one was a very pleasant surprise. It had the look, feel and function of something much pricier.

Terrible place to stay
The facility is old and run down, Heating unit was so dirty hardly any air flow on high speed and did not provide any heating. It was so cold I left at 2:30 am. Now I am having trouble getting my $150 deposit refunded, a surprise they even required it. Management had no interest in feedback and even got rude at my comments
