    The staff at the counter and at the breakfast buffet were super nice and helpful. My stay was during a busy weekend and I was lucky to have a room but my room was too close to the lobby and common area and it was quite noisy. Guests would come and go at various times in the night and they were too loud. However, the amenities were great, the room was nicer than anticipated. Definitely would stay there again. Room was clean, had a full kitchen, good water pressure in the shower and fully stocked. Great bed and choices of hard or soft pillows. Thank you! A clean and enjoyable place.

    The layout of the room must have been someone's first attempt. To go to the bathroom, you had to navigate a space about 18" wide between the bed and the wall. The bathroom was so small that you had to shift around the toilet to close the door. The room had a total slapped-together feel, and this for how much money? Overall, find another place

    N/A The bathroom was pretty dated and looked very run down. The rest of the room was good, just the bathroom was a real turn off. The rooms could really use some maintenance and attention. Would have also like if our room had been cleaned during our stay. At least make the bed and refresh towels.

    Stayed in a “accessible room” and it was the worst we had ever had. Besides having mold in the shower and toothpaste on the wall (Yes, we have pictures), the room was a joke. No door to the bathroom (because handicapped people don’t need privacy?) the kitchen supplies and microwave were in the upper cabinets so no one in a wheelchair could reach it. The thermostat was also above the height for someone in a wheelchair. The hotel was nice, but they definitely need to hire an accessibly consultant because they have no clue.

    Breakfast was cut off at 8:30 a.m. which was too early in our opinion for leisure travelers. Evening services provided snacks till 6 p.m. When we showed up at 5:45 p.m., we were offered "lettuce" Yes, that is correct, lettuce, not even a salad. We went out to eat naturally. Our suite had a separate bathroom by the bedroom but there was no privacy door to the bathroom. There was no vanity in the bathroom but they had two small moveable cabinets in the bathroom that looked like they were picked up at a garage sale.

    There was trash in the hallways that was left the entire time we were there along with dirty towels outside a room. This hotel was dirty. They had the nerve to charge us a $75 dollar pet fee - for what? There is nothing our 8 pound dog could have done to this room to make it any worse. We found another room for Saturday night. Even though the room was not inhabitable and they could do nothing to fix it they would not refund our money for the second night. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in by far.

    I called the property prior to booking and inquired on the pool and was advised it was open and functioning. Upon arriving only to learn that it was not open and closed for maintenance. I had to disappoint a birthday boy whom thought it was having a small family pool party indoors for his birthday.

    Room was smaller than I expected, room was to cluttered with furniture, had to watch where I walked to make sure I didn't trip. I expected a king bed with a hide a bed couch, that would comfortably fit 4 guest. Room had two double beds, couch was just a couch. Just not what I expected but might work out for other traveling guest. I currently have a charge of 10.00 on my credit card that I wasn't told would be there. Hopefully it will be refunded to me

    This is at least the 4th time we have stayed here. One bedroom suite is fabulous each and every time. We bring our dog and never have any issues. The one bedroom suite gives everyone a little more room to stretch out. Love this property. It is close to family...the reason that I visit Oak Ridge and I think the price we pay is excellent for what we are getting. I find it safe to walk the dogs by yourself outside. Everyone is always friendly and nice. I will stay here again

    The hotel was lovely and the room was large and spacious. The staff was very attentive, especially the breakfast attendants. Our main complaint was that there was an odd smell in our room. The hotel allows pets, and it smelled like pet smell trying to be covered up by air freshener. Also, there was a spot in our restroom where there was a leak at some point and there was mold there now.

    We have stayed at this hotel multiple times. This past weekend has been the worst experience that I've ever had here. Our room stunk like smoke, the toilet was crooked in the bathroom, there was stuff splattered on the walls in the bathroom, and the shower has a giant crack in it. The parking was horrible. We had to park in the nail salon parking lot next door.

    Hotel smelled like people were smoking in there rooms. On a few occasions you could smell the odor of marijuana. Understand with Covid that rooms are not cleaned daily and my guess is that some of the patrons that stay there for a week at a time take advantage and smoke anyway

    I requested a king size bed and hotels.com put me in a handicapped room that I did not want. Thankfully Staybridge Hotel staff in Oak Ridge, TN put me in a fantastic room. I usually stay at Holiday Inn Express and I really liked this location just as well! Excellent staff and comfortable clean rooms. They put me on the first floor because I had my puppies with me. I definitely would stay here when I visit family again!

In searching the room for the cord, we discovered dirty laundry left from the previous tenant. Several days passed, complained to front desk continually, requested no one to enter our room with fear of theft. A MANAGER never addressed the problem and we will NEVER stay here again.
