The value was good but it's true that you get what you pay for. The location was just right for traveling. I choose a non smoking room but still the smell of cigarette smoke lingered all through the room.

The room was old, dirty, and full of broken amenities. Brown marks on the walls, dirty marks on the bed sheet, hair on the towels, broken drawers, TV didn’t work, light fixtures with broken bulbs.. about all that worked was the shower and the toilet. We had a non smoking room but it smelled like smoke and the people next door to us were definitely smoking in their non smoking room, but the staff didn’t do anything about it.

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. The room was not clean and appeared poorly maintained. The sheets were burnt and dirty, and the curtains were also damaged. This is not acceptable for any level of accommodation. I expected basic cleanliness and safety standards to be met, but unfortunately that was not the case. I would not recommend this property unless serious improvements are made in housekeeping and room maintenance.

Front desk night time attendant helpful. Room not clean at all (and looks like it was never cleaned). Stains on bathroom floor, walls, bed sheets, and curtains. Floors not clean, smelled badly of cigarette smoke (even though it was a “non smoking” room). Would not stay here again

The room looked nothing like the picture advertised. There were stains on the bedding, curtains, floor and ceiling. The door didn't meet so you could see outside. The curtains had holes in them. The shower spigot wasnt connected to the shower wall so the pipe was exposed. Hairdryer had electrical tape on the cord.

First room smelled like smoke in the smokeless room. Changed to a diffrent room, Both Bed sheets had stains, we had to ask for diffrent sheets. Walls were Dirty, a/c seemed like someone took a hammer to it but it worked. Big space under the door, had to place towels to seal. Fire alarm went off at 3:30am in the morning. No fire, it finally turned off at 4:30am.. only stayed because kids needed rest and only used the room to sleep and leave.

Our stay was for mid-travel, sleep only. Room was clean, but well worn. HVAC unit was damaged, but did work. Smoke detector was missing. Bed was comfortable. Despite pre-registration, check-in took several minutes.

We stayed in 3 different hotels during our trip. This was the first one and thankfully the other hotels after that visit were so much better. The bed was terrible. The furniture in the room was practically falling apart. The caulking in the bathroom sink area looked like it was done by a child and some kind of bug ran into a hole in the wall by the sink when I turned on the light. We paid less at a hotel in Pidgeon Forge and the quality was immensely better. We will never stay at a Travelodge again.

Its a quaint property, great if all you need is a bed and shower. Its very hard to see/find until you're at the driveway. Very noisy alot. Also, not staffs fault but night protocols for everything front desk including check in doesn't give one the feeling service is available. We didnt want maid service because we travel with a cat, but there were no do not disturb tags and no one came to check. As we were leaving, we saw the poor desk clerk cleaning rooms. Very low to no staff and i felt sorry for him.

I knew I was signing up for a cheap room, didn't expect anything special, but did expect clean rooms, without cigarette smell, and with working AC. The staff was very kind and tried to help me by giving me a different room, but the whole place is falling apart and there's not much they can do.

The front lobby had a roach crawing on the floor as soon as i walked in. However the guy who helped me was awesome. He deserves to work at a 5 star hotel. So accomidating. So i ket the roach thing go. The room was ok for a 8 hr sleep but the towels in the bathroom had holes on them or almost all the way thru. Then when i was getting my shoes on to keave the next morning a roach crawled rught bu my shoe. Si when i went to check out i finally got a woman to the window after ronging the bell 4 tomes and waiting on her for 10 minutes. Roach motel for sure. But, guy that checked me in was awesome.

We booked a smoke free room, walked into our room and was greeted with a strong smell of cigarettes. While inspecting the room we saw a roach, the bed sheets were dirty and the bathroom towels were dirty as well, where was a dirty shoe print on the towels as if it was walked on, folded and put back up for use. The AC unit did not have a filter so it was just blowing out dirty cigarettes air. Never again.

The staff is really nice and they greet you when you come onto property they are very easy going with getting you checked in and getting you to your room. It’s a nice area and quiet area and its safe surroundings. Rooms are very clean and the beds are very comfortable and it’s one of the cleanliness hotels I been too. Definitely will be staying more often.

The bed was like sleeping on the floor. No blanket. And there was not a continental breakfast. Just coffee

Not the best. There were many places to stay at this interstate exit. There were cigarette burns in the sheets. The sink was damaged. Noise from the interstate was quite noticable at first, but the room HVAC provided the "white noise" to cover. The desk clerk was very nice and helpful when we needed coffee in the room and help with the tv access.

Bed was newer but room and building old.no breakfsst.Didnt feel real safe in the area.
- 1/5
The room smelled like smoke as soon as you walked in (the room was supposed to be nonsmoking), the room was dirty- stains on walls, lamp shades, sink, curtains etc.. the coffee maker in room was melted. The fridge didn’t work, even the remote control was missing buttons, looked like it had been chewed up, and the batteries were taped in. Overall would never stay here again, would have cancelled and just lost money and went somewhere else except for the fact it was Memorial Day weekend and everything was booked. Do not stay here unless you absolutely have no other choice.

We were very disappointed. We booked this location based on previous reviews and Images. This property is nothing like it is portrayed via website, description or reviews (I have images). The ceiling in the bathroom was covered in mold, the sink was backed up and a nasty film around it, there were muddy dry shoe prints on the floor, the pillows were flat, you could feel every spring in the mattress, a bottle of water was knocked over accidentally and when we cleaned it up the towel was BLACK (not sure when the floor was mopped last), the fridge did not work, room smelled extremely musky and no matter what I did, we could not get the smell out of it, we had a double queen room, and we were only provided one towel, 2 wash cloth, a hand towel and a floormat (when we went up front and requested more towels, we were handed a towel and a washcloth and were told that all they could provide at the time. The staff weren’t rude but definitely not welcoming. We definitely wouldn’t recommend or stay again.

Convenience is only positive for this motel. Broken hair dryer, broken shower bar, thin-as-paper towels and washcloths, and roaches in the bathroom. Only book if you can’t find a room anywhere else.

There was nothing to like other than the staff. The room was dirty, burn holes in the comforter, smoke detector missing, mildew and mold in the bathroom. Floor was completely filthy. We arrived around 3am after driving straight through the night. There was alot of activity going on in the parking lot, from cars just driving around to someone actually putting their ear up against the doors of the rooms. We ended up asking for a refund and driving to Pigeon Forge and getting a hotel. Do not stay here.

Did not stay. The pool wasn't open. The room was nasty . It stunk there was no bedspread or pillows. Box spring were exposed and dirty. So I didn't stay. Had to come home because the $ I paid couldn't be put back on my card immediately to pay for a room somewhere else.

We ended up not staying there. Their website said they had a pool and free breakfast. After we checked in they said pool closed due to the rule changed and they had to close down pool and no breakfast. We only booked there for the pool and breakfast. So we went somewhere else close to them that had an open pool and free breakfast. Don’t know what their problem was but won’t stay there again

Service and check-in was good. Very accommodating. They serviced the room with fresh towels, didn’t mess with my stuff, including laptop that was left in room. Only one handicapped parking space on south side of hotel. I’ve machine and vending worked. For the price, I would stay again.

Easy and fast check in. The employees were friendly. But the hotel overall needs major improvements. Turned the shower on and the shower head blew off, no big deal we just went to the store and bought one. The ac controls was a guessing game (the marked setting were worn off) all night it would continuously make weird noises and keep cutting on and off like it was about to kick the bucket. If owners would do updates this hotel has potential. We just slept there so it served our purpose. Overall it was clean and reasonably priced.
- 4/5
Bed was uncomfortable but the sheets were clean. There were areas of the carpet that had been missed while vacuuming; and the toilet rocked.

Sheets had burn holes, bed bugs, black mold. Asked for a refund so we could go elsewhere and we were told no by both Expedia and the hotel. Contacted customer service and they refused to do anything about it. Very disappointing!

Room was the most horrid and nasty hotel we've ever embarked on. Bed had burn holes from cigarettes, it was a non smoking room but old smoke smell with mildew lingered. Carpet was stained in mutiple areas, and just overall avoid. Checked out in wee hours of the morning and drove back. Avoid at all costs, more cleanly to sleep in your car to be honest.
- 2/5
Bed was dirty. No bulbs in the lamps. The stairs where held together by duck tape. I will say the guy at the front seat was very nice and offered to move us to another room but we were already settled in so I just asked for clean sheets and changed them myself. The pool was closed and there was no breakfast due to COVID.
- 1/5
It was horrible!!! The cockroaches were crawlimg everywhere. The room smelled like sweat and stale. The beds had springs poking out of them. The beds had no bed spred. Only a drape laid across the bottom. When i told the front desk she was rude and said they can't control the cockroaches and dismissed me. My husband called and asked for management. When he spoke with him he was also rude and dismissed my husband as well. Never again will i stay there. Oh and also the drug addicts were all over the place and you could smell Marijuana strongly in the breezeway.
- 1/5
The property was almost comically gross. Cigarette burned and dirty bed sheets, along with half a bag worth of popcorn in the pullout, were some of the highlights. I slept fully clothed and used my pullover as a pillow to avoid the funk.

Oh wow, where to start. The staff was bothered by our presence. It took forever for the desk staff to answer our ring. We got 3 rooms, two smelled horribly of tobacco, we did not ask for smoke free rooms, but one smelled like my Grandpa Walter was sitting on the bed smoking his pipe and the second smelled of a cigar party. The third room which was smoke free smelled of dirty feet. As for cleanliness, I will let the pictures below speak for themselves. I checked for bugs and found none thank goodness, but that is the best I can say. I truly hate leaving bad reviews, but the staff was just as irritated we were there when we checked out the next morning. This is probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

Absolutely disgusting, was given a smoking room when booking a NON smoking because we don’t smoke and have a baby,I immediately got a headache from the smell of cigarettes in this dark dingy room as my boyfriend went to go ask to switch rooms I walk though the place looking for a light and on the light switch for the bathroom there where 2 roaches who scurried off when the light came on I literally wanted to puke I didn’t let my child walk on the floors the bed looked like it had just been laid in but made and there were burn holes in just about everything on that room...we get switched to another room this one is a handicapped room (bigger bathroom) is the only difference apparently although I’m hoping it’s a suite cause the last room literally had me running. The new room we get does not smell thank god,however everything is just very dirty...stains in the tub,water by the toilet in the bathroom. No lighting in the huge bathroom but one small light by the tub..the carpets are so old and worn I had black feet after walking on them for 5 min..ha e myself and my child prob 3 showers during this stay,everything just seemed so gross and uncomfortable and trust me if I could find any positives I would y’all but there’s just none! I’ve stayed a hole in the walls before just to get off the road for a couple of hours...places $35 a night and this place was no where near coming up to par with something as trash.the dude with glasses at front desk is the only salvation in this place!

This was not the best place to stay , it was reserved by my daughter upon getting to the room was met by a young man appearing to be high on something . I stayed with my SA and the next day was met up by the same man again following me to my vehicle and then again by another man hanging out all day on the second floor by the storage door also apeared to be on something ? Following me to my vehicle as well . Room was old outdated and not very clean . Won't put this on my stay list again .
