Hey, Rob did the hotel and they did not have a room for us. I received confirmation I will check and make sure it was not charged because we had to go somewhere else and pay four times the amount. So no I was not happy because we didn’t even get to stay in our room. They must’ve given it away, so it was not a good situation.

I stayed here for a day. The room itself was great. Definitely worth the price. If you are a non smoker, it might be a little uncomfortable for you. I visited from another country and was not used to the smoking culture.

Pictures and description on the internet totally misrepresenting.. We travel pretty extensively and this was one of the biggest disappointments we've had.. not very clean, amenities were at the minimum..not very well maintained.."see pictures" sketchy part of town with a lot of stragglers.. we won't be visiting here again.. The staff was awesome and totally took care of everything that they could for us.. but the complex left us feeling unsafe and dissatisfied..

Should have slept in the car

The walls were thin, and I heard the next room’s occupants yell at their kids from 7-11pm on both nights. There were stains on the walls, pallets of AC units in the lobby, the TV mount was still on the wall, and a smaller tv was in front of it. The bed was uncomfortable, and the elevator didn’t work. No breakfast or coffee, and the several year renovation looks nothing like the ads. Never again. And bring a personal protection device so you can feel safe from the folks who hang out in the parking lot.

Worst hotel in Knoxville

1 of the worst hotels I've stayed in. Very unclean. The entire hotel (front lobby, hallways, room, etc) reeked of cigarette smoke. Cigarette butts in the hallway, on the stairs. Room was very dirty. Highly recommend NOT staying here! Advertised photos online are not accurate at all. There was no complementary breakfast or coffee available like the description says. Just a terrible hotel in general. Avoid at all costs!

Definitely the worst hotel I’ve been in and I’ve stayed at a lot of “cheaper” hotels. Doors all scratched to hell from dogs. Dog hair in the sheets. White “stains” on head boards which I assume may be a human bodily fluid. Plumbing strap holding the smoke detector on the ceiling. Water damage on the ceiling. And to top it off. A damn cockroach in the bathroom after we woke up sleeping with our clothes on lol. You’ll probably be shocked to hear I didn’t say anything to the front desk but when it’s this bad. The front desk already knows lol. I also was only there like 5 hours haha. Enjoy at your own risk!

Grossest Hotel I've ever stayed in

This was by far the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed in. The photos were quite misleading. It is in major need of renovation. The entire place reaks of cigarettes. The TV was not working consistantly, the sink did not drain, there were semen stains throughout the room including on the television, and there were sizable bloodstains on the carpet. I am a single mom who was traveling with my child and did not feel safe in this establishment. When I expressed my concern to the front desk person they said there wasnt much they could do and the manager would not refund my cost. they did move me to another room, but it was not much of an upgrade. I am never staying in a Rodeway Inn again.

Disgusting!

Terrible! I felt very unsafe from the moment I pulled in. Although the front desk was nice, they used excuses for the known activity going on. Drug and prostitution. Someone was tapping on my window late at night. The people checking in were obviously prostituts. I had to tell the front desk my next call would be to the police. The bathroom had holes in it, dirt. No toilet paper or washcloth. I would never have stayed if I could have gotten a refund. I slept with one eye open! No coffee, no breakfast due to renovations, so they said. I told them that was false advertisement. They claimed they called Hotels.com several times to make this change.

We got there at about 8 that evening, we parked and there was cases of beer with empty beer bottles at the edge of the parking lot, people hanging out in vehicles and around the outside of the hotel, I felt very unsafe outside. Got checked in and you could smell pot at the front desk, the guy was nice. Got to our room and it had a strong odor of cigarettes and mens cologne. There was a huge hole on the wall that had been patched, unpainted. The shower was very outdated and when you turned the light on in the shower it flickered and did not have protective covering around it. The bed sheets had stains and the bed was very uncomfortable, it was a very old mattress. The room was in such poor shape and I didn’t feel safe leaving my car outside so we checked out 5 minutes later, guy that checked us out apologized and helped us get our money back on the room.
