OVERVIEW: I have a Red Roof Inn membership and have stayed on numerous Red Roof Inns in the past. This particular hotel however, is absolutely SUBSTANDARD. Without a doubt, I wouldn’t stay here again. The hotel provides very rudimentary accommodations overall. LOCATION: Downtown Knoxville is approximately a ten minute drive. POSITIVE NOTES: None of the above. NEGATIVE NOTES: Wall paper... More

We stopped at the Red Roof Inn as we were passing through Knoxville. We did not arrive at the hotel until late, and for a place to sleep, it was just fine. The hotel is not new, but it was clean. I'm not sure that I would stay here again simply because I might try a different hotel that was... More

Travelled for a very special occasion that was spoiled by the infestation of bed bugs. Do not stay here. I was given a refund, but it was not worth the torment of dealing with bed bugs. They were everywhere. More

They need to tear this place down, litterally. I checked for budbugs, but found a mouse droppings on the mattress instead. Front cover of HVAC was detached and would not reattach. Dirty peeling wallpaper everywhere. Water,rust and mold on ceilings everywhere. Smudges and dirty splatters on doors, fixtures, floors, door casings, elevator. Beer cans left in elevator and even stuck... More

This was probably the worst RR that I've ever stayed in. I usually pick them over other motels but if they were like this I'd probably think again. Musty smell everywhere. HVAC did not warm up much. Bed was okay but since when did hotels stop providing anything other than a worn sheet and a threadbare blanket. Rust stains on... More

This old but well maintained property just off I-40 is a good choice for travelers on a budget. Near the UT campus and the McKay's used bookstore that is one of Knoxville's great attractions, the hotel is far enough off the freeway to be very quiet. Our room had a microwave and fridge and was very clean. More

The price and the cleanliness of the room are the only things going for this place except of course, the location - minutes from downtown. It was a little hard to find. Our directions from google maps were woefully inadequate. We finally arrived and were pleasantly greeted. The hotel needs a huge renovation, as my other colleagues have expressed, but... More

This is exactly what I forwarded to their CS Department. I have NEVER had to do something like this... we were terribly disappointed at how we were treated. Not to mention that the hotel looks goodo n the outside, but is run down, wallpaper is falling off the walls, cheap mattresses and only moderately clean rooms. Nothing has been updated...ever....

We stayed here on a last minute trip when we were in need of a hotel room close to family in the hospital. The room's rate was not too bad but the room itself was terrible. The bed was old and uncomfortable. The bathroom was not at all clean. In the tub itself, there was a mat in the tub... More

I called on Saturday night October 29 and made my reservations for a full week, site unseen. I had read previous reviews and was a little nervous about staying there but it was close to the business I needed to go to. The reservation process was easy and I got a very good rate. I arrived around 8:30 pm, the... More
