Breakfast was only carbs, not proteins. Our initial non-smoking room reeked of smoke so we had to get a second room. Overall, the maintenance and upkeep of the place was poor. Our second room was better so we stayed because it was late but not a place I would want to use again.

WARNING: All appeared ok. There was no desk in the room so my stay for business was not good. The bed was not comfortable AND each day I woke with BITES ALL OVER MY FEET..............BED BUGS. I will not be staying at this hotel in the future. Its unfortunate because I travel to Knox. about every week.
