  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful. We decided to stay an additional night, and after making the reservation on my phone, the front desk attendant ensured we got the same room, updated our keys and parking pass, and everything was done quickly and easily. The cute little food/bar area was nice to read in while sipping a glass of wine. The gal behind the bar was friendly as well. Juanita, who is a member of the housekeeping staff, was very friendly and helpful and checked to make sure we had everything we needed.

    We didn't feel very safe and I wish I would have looked at The Graduate Hotel, closer to campus. This is a little bit of an uphill walk (10 minutes) to campus - there are other hotels closer.

    It was really satisfying

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We stopped overnight on our way to Gatlinburg. The room was great. Nice and clean. Beds were confortable. Staff at check in was extremely friendly and gave recommendations for local things to do. It is not walking friendly to explore but had a great spot for Ubers.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The front desk gentleman was very nice and professional, The only thing was that he announced my room number with male guests behind me. I was traveling alone so it took me back a little. Usually, the front desk person will just said your room number is on your card.

    Enjoyed ourcstay

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Only stayed one night to move my kid out of college but everything was great. Low ceilings in parking garage

  • Engine customer May 2026

    They have done a good job of updating the rooms although our bathroom was tiny and that was the only place I could find both a mirror and plugs. They need a mirror over the desk like area with plugs for hair tools. Do NOT drive a taller vehicle up to the check in area. 6 feet is the maximum height that will fit in the lower garage. We had to do a very tight turn around, check in and unload and then move our vehicle to the parking garage behind the hotel. There were hotel access doors on the upper level, two sets of manual doors which makes it very cumbersome for taking luggage in and out. There is a fridge in the room and a coffee maker that takes those teabag type coffee servings. Don’t waste your time, it was awful. VERY LIMITED hours to get coffee and/or food in the lobby area. I think it ends at 10AM. No complimentary coffee is available, or water. Ample place to place your luggage on “racks” inside the room. No personal safe in the room. Good place for a quick one night stay with plans to eat all meals out. Don’t bring valuables you will not keep in your possession at all times, such as a iPad or even controlled medications because of the lack of a safe. Staff was very polite, elevators were roomy and quick. We did not use the outside area or fitness center.
