This hotel needs a total remodel. It was nasty. Walls half painted, same color, half gloss half matte. Bathroom floors chipped and dirty. Refrigerator needed defrosted. My grandchildren thought it was snow and started eating it.

Great location while visiting University of Tennessee and exploring the Smoky Mountains. Room and building are extremely run down...that said, water was hot and sheets were clean so it worked in a pinch. Staff very nice and helpful.
