The hotel staff is generally friendly and polite, providing good service. However, the rooms and facilities are outdated, with cleanliness being a significant concern for many guests.

    Value for money. However if you want to sleep in late, be careful about this choice as lots of guests are migrant workers and they get up early to get ready for work. Their trucks can be loud.

    Decent value! Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Beds were clean but the bathroom could use a little deep clean. Otherwise, hotel served its purpose well!

    Stay far far away!! They had roaches and I had to argue for 20 minutes to get a refund when I had pictures. The rooms are so gross and outdated and they charged me $164 plus a $100 deposit when I only stayed one night! Never again, I would rather stay in my car.

    Comfortable stay, great location. Convenient to restaurants, liquor store & gas stations. Vinyl flooring was disgusting with filth. Took a white wash cloth & ripped & it turned black. Towels were shabby & stained. Upon check out to obtain deposit, I was questioned where 1 bath towel was! Like Really. It was on the bed. I guess if not found they were going to keep my $100 deposit?

    The pool was not blue.. it was green. In the room, walking in it looked nice. The toilet had a stain in the bottom that looked kind of like blood the didn’t go away after flushing. The sink and shower didn’t have much water pressure. Overall it was a good stay. Was just a place for us to stay and sleep and get ready to go out.

    The positives were that we had a roof over our heads,we had safe place to sleep at night and the staff was friendly. Now I wasn’t expecting anything fancy by any means, however this place lacked cleanliness. All the linen was stained including the towels. They really need to invest in some new stuff because who knows how long it has been washed and reused for. It was literally falling apart as well. Only was night was spent and it was do able, but the property owners and management should really consider upgrading linens, towels and pillows.

    Urine on toilet, stained sheets and blankets, walls. Holes in walls, room not cleaned, Bath tub had a really huge patch on the inside of it and looked really gross, so you wouldn’t be able to take a bath, They also charged us 100.00 deposit, after we arrived, said it was for if the room got destroyed. This wasn’t listed on line when booking the reservation. Over all, don’t book this nasty, Gross hotel, It’s the worst we have ever seen and stayed at, didn’t sleep was scared I was going to catch something! Doesn’t look like the picture on line. The lighting in the room is very dim so you can’t see all the nasty and grossness! Also we told them it has a spot for an iron but no iron and he just looked at us like we were crazy! We took video and pictures we told them, They should have given us a refund!This hotel shouldn’t be on Hotel.com. Also was in a very bad area, looked like druggies walking around, went to a McDonald’s right by the hotel and we were in the middle of pay the guy at the window and he just started cussing at the other employees.Very bad area in Knoxville Tennessee, will never stay in Knoxville Tennessee again. Also was to scared to eat the free breakfast after seeing and staying in a gross Hotel.

    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.

    The motel was close to the event we attended, so a plus on that. However, the motel is located in a kind of sketchy area, but we had no issues and felt fairly safe. There was a noisy group that came in around 2AM, did not appreciate their rudeness. The room was OK, the shower had a weird, springy bottom, made balance a little tricky. The motel could use a makeover and clean up the area around it. Worked well for our needs and the price was good.

    Upon entering the room it had a terrible sewage/stale cigarette smell in a non smoking room. One the of pillows still had makeup on it from the previous guest. We informed the front desk that we need new sheets because of the makeup covered pillow and left again for the evening. 5 hours later we returned to the bed remade but the pillow with the making STILL HAD THE DIRTY PILLOW CASE ON IT. Went to front desk to get another pillow case and they said they didnt have any at the front desk, she reluctantly then gave me 2 pool towels. There were burns marks in the comforter as well. There was hair in the shower and the drain was in disrepair. The mirror looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a very long time. Unfortunately the staff I encountered werent all that friendly to top it all off.

Vents had mold, light bulbs had been stolen, the fridge didn’t work well causing my food to spoil, there was a weird loud whining sound that kept going off, and it just felt unsafe. I feel embarrassed for thinking this place would be an okay idea. If you want safety, look elsewhere.

    Worst hotel stay ever. I will never stay at a Quality Inn agains after that stay. Room smelled like a wet basement, the chair in the room stunk, blankets and sheets were all stained. Worst $100 I've ever spent.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. Property was in very poor condition. Room has cobwebs in ceiling in corner by door. Floor was dirty. Trash cans around building were routinely overflowing, cigarette butts in several locations. On first walk to our room (upstairs), rough group of guys sitting on stairs drinking beer, cussing, smoking. Light switch in room non-operational, known to turn on lamp missing. Hair on bathroom floor in corners upon first arrival. Shower was very nice though.

    I booked this room on the wrong day. I canceled it on the very next day. I still have yet to receive my refund for the room. I called quality Inn about my refund and I was called dumb by the person who works there. I will never use Expedia again and I definitely won’t ever book a quality in.

    Moreover, while I realize that a motel can't select its clientele, this facility seems to have been chosen by a large number of certain motorcycle types. So if you like to be awakened at 2:00 am by inconsiderate LOUD Harleys, then this is the place for you.

    Room 301 had super comfy beds. Perhaps the best out of any hotels or motels i have stayed. The ac ran nice and quietly and actually worked better than some pricey hotels ive stayed at recently. Was pleased with the room for the price I paid

    There was a cup of noodles behind the door when we got in. The bathroom is falling apart(tub insert coming off the ceiling). Blow dryer didn’t work, but got it to when we removed it from the wall and out it in another outlet. Smells musty in the room.

    We just needed to stay one night on the way to myrtle beach so didn’t need anything fancy. But we had adjoining rooms with our kids, the door frame in-between the doors was moldy. Other than that, it wasn't too bad. People around were a little sketchy.

    The staff was friendly and polite, but the place was very dated, bath tub was stained and leaking, beds weren't the best and it didnt feel safe when you're there. I probably wouldn't have an issue with the place if it was cheaper, but the weekend rate for a room to just sleep in before getting back on the road was not reflective on the quality.

    My room was dirty. I dropped my phone on the floor under the bed had to go on my hands and knees reach under it it was absolutely sticky and filthy. Walls had a bunch of marks on them. TV was small and had really poor reception. The cloth that goes over the bed had white stains on it. Broken outlet wall plates. And on the skirt of my bed there was what looked to be a s*** stain. People were in the parking lot drinking sitting on cars probably their cars but very ghetto. And rift raft tweakers running around the motel at night and during the day. I was very disappointed and will never go there again.
