The location of this hotel cannot be beat for visiting students that live on campus. The hotel seems clean, however is a bit tired and can use some updating. The rooms are very dark and though I love the TN theme throughout, the rooms are dated and need a refresh.
We had a wonderful time during our stay! The hotel was very cute and the staff was extremely friendly.
I wish they had bottle fillers and Nespresso/Keurig machines in the room; but this is a common issue in a lot of hotels atm.
Absolutely adorable hotel! The decor was perfect. Very cozy & comfortable rooms, even though they’re on the smaller side. Will 100% stay there again ❤️
Walking distance to Thompson Bowling arena. Courteous staff

Morgan, the front desk clerk, is FABULOUS and so personable. From the end of our interaction, I was calling her “my friend Morgan.” The hotel was clean and accommodating and obviously decorated to perfection. Go graduate and as always, Go Vols!
