    The hallways looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while. Got to our room and the bed was a fullsized rather than a king like posted on expedia. Called down to front office and they said they dont have any rooms with big sized beds. (This might be more on expedia than the hotel itself) When we got to our room the toilet didn't work, and had to call maintenance within first 5min of getting there. The next morning on our way out the trash by elevator smelled like it had old diapers in it, came back later in the evening and the trash still smelled the same and hadn't been touched even though cleaning people were out that morning. The shower also had no body wash. Our room key didn't work the 2nd, and had to get the front desk to get us a new one. About 30min laters went outside and when we came back in the new room key didnt work again so they finally switched us rooms. The new room they moved us into looked like it had mold on the walls and smelled musty and damp. But hey at least the toilet worked.

    The hotel had an unpleasant stench which the hotel attempted to mask with large fragrant dispensers in the rooms. The bathroom door had a poorly masked hole, the bathtub was stained, and I waited at the front desk for someone to appear for approximately 10-15 minutes before I could begin checking in.

    The hotel needs to be updated badly. There was a hole in the bathroom ceiling, crappy furnished shampoo and conditioner. There was no breakfast, whereas at the Sonesta in Nashville had breakfast and was beautiful! Another guest went and bought bed linens because hers were so bad. This was the class and cleanliness that I expect for a $70 room, not almost $200!!! We won't be staying there again.

    It’s relatively inexpensive, and you get what you pay for. It’s a bit dated and the was a musty smell whenever i entered my room. Having a kitchenette was useful. Laundry was paid via credit card so no need to bring fists full of quarters. I was traveling alone so it was adequate for my needs. If the little lady was with me, i guarantee we would have been looking for another place to stay.

    This marketing photo is obviously old. The furnishings were in disrepair and extremely worn. The room smelled of smoke, mildew, etc. and was in need of a deep cleaning. Dust was readily visible throughout. When I brought these items to the front desk/staff's attention, he responded by saying that it was only a "2 star hotel" and that the room was a good value for the price. The staff also said that the hotel was rebranded "Sonesta" because they no longer met the standard for the old Candlewood Suites brand. I only stayed because they had me sign a no-refund policy BEFORE I went to my room. Because I booked from a third party, they also said a refund wasn't possible. Interestingly, they actually had me also pay a $100 security deposit when checking in.

    Did not stay here. Had to drive all the way back home because whoever was at desk was attempting to charge me another $200 for the room, even as a security deposit, that is ridiculous as the room is not that much. Then good luck getting your deposit back, They said you get it back in 30 days. Extremely bad business practices.

I walked in with the chair stuck in recliner. The microwave door had to remain open or the microwave would run. The door remained opened with the light on the entire night to avoid the microwave from running the whole night. It just felt gross.

    The Room was an outdated Candlewood Suite. When we arrived it took forever to get checked in. I do not know just why but there was a great deal of confusion about the accomadations. The elevator requested only 3 people at a time get on it, is that safe at all then? Upon check out I requested a receipt and was told they would have to inspect the room before a receipt could be issued and it would be emailed to me. Today I checked my Credit Card Statement and found that they charged my card $260.82 on Nov 10 and another $100 on Nov 12. That is at the VERY best a $80 per night room. And I was charged a total of $360.82 for two nights. RIP OFF! I am one unhappy customr of Expdia and Sonesta Simply Suites in Knoxville, TN

    Doesn’t meet expectations with the “sonesta” brand. Kitchen only had one glass nothing else. First room I checked into reeked of cigarette smoke. Asked for another room and was told the first room wasn’t smokey but rather someone had just cooked a meal in there (but without pots or dishes??). Clearly wasn’t the case, and was finally given a different room. Hotel felt nasty, wore my shoes between bed and bathroom bc carpet felt grimy. Never again.

    The room was deplorable. Toilet leaked sewage when flushing, could be Wax O-ring was placed in the 70's and just worn out. Dirty, Filthy walls, Black, Yellow and Brown Mold. Refrigerator was rusting. A/C control from 1950 bypassed so I had to look at the metal rigging that was connected....bad move - the black mammal hair that clogged the air filter was everywhere. Took the staff twenty five minutes to get us signed in, I guess that what it takes when you only use one finger and a 1970 computer program. We checked in and out so fast, the luggage jumped into my car. I ask for a full refund or at least partial. They charge me almost 100.00 more that the quote, I did not sign the bill and refuted the bill with AMX. I also wrote Sonesta the letter Attached and sent it also to Hotels.com and AMX. Run Forest Run - this one needs to be imploaded.

    It was definitely mid. This is a contractors hotel through and through. But I don’t think that should discourage the staff from taking pride in cleaning it. I definitely did not want to touch anything, and I’m the kind of girl who grew up playing in mud and not shying away from hard work or grit. But this place was pretty gross. When something is sticky, I’m out lol

    This facility is completely worn out! The walls were beat up, the AC unit was moldy smelling, light fixtures and furniture had rust deposits on them and were dingy. The place, while generally clean, had a funky smell. The worst part though was the roach infestation problem. Great laundry facility. Sonesta has pretty much squeezed all they can out of that place. There are much better options available in the area for the price.

AC unit was very noisy and cycled every few minutes making it difficult to sleep. on the last day of my stay, I noticed that the toilet leaked at the base when flushing. Every time i went to front desk, no one was there. I do not recommend and would not stay there again.

    Check-in was easy and quick. The hotel has been refurbished. Unfortunately, a fire broke out in the laundry area, so those needing to wash clothes were unable to do so during my weekend stay. The elevator kept us inside for a bit longer than I expected. Thankfully, it opened about 45 seconds later than it should have. The hotel was clean and had a wide selection of television stations (both local and premium) to watch. The hotel is also conveniently located near the interstate and numerous restaurants, gas stations, and eateries. Excellent location!

    A really good, quiet location in a car dealership/office building area. The room was clean, but needs a little attention - sporadic dishes in the cabinets, missing towel rails, flaky textured ceiling. Overall, really good hotel.

    Although this is a pet-friendly hotel, the condition and the cleanliness of this place was not good. Particularly, the carpeting throughout the hallway floors and room look dated and retained an odor, especially on the first floor near the elevator. The tub in the did not look very clean either. Also, the air conditioning unit look dated and there was a mildew smell near the unit. The only positive was the convenience of the location. Otherwise, the entire building needs to be renovated

    The property itself seemed adequate, but after having paid in advance I was NOT ALLOWED to check into the room Id paid for. I had my credit card with me, a valid TaN license, and even a passport, as well as my confirmation info. But I was denied my room and out my money because the credit card (that I had already used to pay) had a relative's name on it.

    This was the shabbiest Sonesta Suites we’ve stayed in and has made me reconsider booking at the chain again. The front desk clerk was kind and professional and the bed was comfortable. Other than that, our stay was disappointing. The hallways were dingy and hadn’t been vacuumed recently. Carpets are stained. The elevator had a terrible odor and the floor was dirty. Our room was shabby, in need of plastering and painting, and poorly lit. We checked out a day early.

    I called to confirm my appointment, since I was driving in from Memphis, which is almost 6 hours away. I got the run around and hung up on about 4 times. Finally, I called Hotels.com and a young lady helped me out and got it sorted out in short order. The hotel was not great. There were probably 15 commercial fans on the ground floor drying something...

    Overall, my stay was fine. I really enjoyed the rooms having a full-size refrigerator a cooktop, a microwave and a dishwasher as well as plates, utensils, and cookware so if I had chosen, I could have cooked in the room though I only use the microwave and refrigerator. The refrigerator did have an icemaker which I was very pleased with. But the room had previously been smoked in even though there were signs up everywhere saying smoking was not allowed, and there would be monetary charges or some sort of consequence for smoking I can’t recall exactly. As a non-smoker and someone who does not care in the slightest for the smell of cigarette smoke, I did not enjoy that aspect of my room. The room was not the cleanest I had ever stayed in, but it did seem to be clean in the important parts, the bathroom, the bed, and the kitchen area. It was just some of the Door jams and such had a lot of built up dust. I also think the carpet could’ve been cleaner. The staff were very polite. It was well located for my needs. The convenience of the kitchen would be good for many people. I only stayed two nights and overall it was perfectly average. It was a good price and fit my needs the smoke smell was the thing I was at least happy about. Another thing I didn’t know about before going there was they charge a $100 deposit for anyone further away from the hotel than 50 miles. Anyone closer than 50 miles has to pay $200 for a deposit fee. You should get it back so long as the room is clean.

    Property was old, having the kitchen was a benefit but the fridge was very loud. Overall the cleanliness was poor, the dishes were dirty, non-carpetted floors were sticky. Difficult to sleep with noise from fridge and air conditioner. Definitely not a 2.5 star.

    No one was at check-in. We’d called ahead to make sure we could get in our room because we had a wedding. She ended up allowing us to but copied my and my husband’s drivers license before allowing us to stay in the room. Then she wouldn’t give it to us the next morning. In today’s world of fraud this is very troubling. The room had cracks and the walls, mold in the bathroom and was not very clean. We had no choice because we had to get to the wedding. When I called bookings.com the next day for help with my $450 Gaylord reservation the next night, I was hung up on, called back and never got a person, and no messages were returned that I submitted online. I am not getting the emails with the pins, so I cannot access anything. This hotel service is horrible- the only reason that we use it is because it gives us Sounthwest points but we are looking for another card and airlines just because this hotel partner is HORRIBLE!

    Manager (Patricia) was very rude, hung up in my face after I got charged for a room I didn’t even check into. Service was terrible !!!! Would not recommend this hotel. Manager wouldn’t give me her full name to even call someone higher than her. She stated she was the GM & hung up mid conversation.. The worker the night I tried to check in my hotel lied about me being rude when I was very patient the whole time & nice. My card was already charged for a room I didn’t even get to see yet, I left to put the deposit on my other bank card came back, he needed my boyfriend ID, so by that point I just said forget about the room. Had to wait till Monday to get my $80 refund back & manger was terribly RUDE & TOLD ME she couldn’t do a refund but ended up doing it at at the end of the day. It literally was that simple from the jump. I’m not a rude person so I expect the same in return giving the fact IM SPENDING MY MONEY WITH YALL. It’s a never again for me I’m sorry

    The property itself was fine. The problem came in when someone knocked on my door at 2:30 am, claiming to be from the front desk and asking me personal questions through the door, trying to get me to open it. They didn’t let up or leave until I raised my voice and asked what they wanted. Then they claimed they had the wrong room. I tried to speak with front desk staff about it, both then and at checkout, but no one was available either time. I felt unsafe and would not stay there again.

    The check in process was a bit slow compared to other hotels, front desk clerk not very friendly but was not rude either. I read a bunch of reviews before choosing this hotel as we stay in hotels often and if it is somewhere I haven't stayed I would like at least some understanding of what to expect. I read so many 10/10 reviews and this was not that. I would rate 6/10. It has many repairs and updates needed. The bed was ok enough and the bathroom fairly clean for the price but definitely not a 10/10.

    Not sure if guests live there but the people were loud and up all hours of the night which made it very difficult to sleep. Also the front entrance says "no smoking within 25 feet of the front entrance". There were guests and Employees smoking at the entrance and it was heavy smoke. Room was fine and area around the property was fine but still Not a good experience based on smoke and noise.

Large enough countertop for a few people to sit, eat, and read at. Bed was comfy. There was regular size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash inside the shower/tub. No problems with the Wi-Fi... Outside of the room was a different story! Hallway lights were dim, the carpets filthy, and the walls were dirty. People obviously lived there. The ones next door were loud and ran in and out slamming doors all day and night, clearly on drugs. Pot and cigarette smells on people and outside when going to and from my vehicle.

    I don't know where to start so I'll start with the location of the room the room was located less than 10 ft from the lobby making it quite noisy, and the $200 deposit for locals that I had to pay won't be redeposited back into my account for 7 to 10 days which I know can be done quicker and theoretically should be done shortly after checking out, The AC worked but not well and was rattling loudly you could feel it vibrate the floor if you were standing close to it, the furniture in the room was in poor shape and the bed was squeaky but on the positive side, comfortable. The best thing about the room I stayed in which was handicap accessible was the shower, if you have difficulty with stability this was a great shower. On the other hand the toilet was very difficult to flush, I called the front desk because I thought something was wrong with it and I was informed I needed to turn the water on so it would flush properly but the water was on and I had this experience one other time at the same location in a different room. So the toilets at this hotel are a problem. And morning to anyone who reserves a handicap accessible room with a rolling shower, you'll be getting the same room I'm talking about. I was informed that the room directly in front of the lobby is the only one with a walk-in shower . That's a shame!
