Hampton Inn & Suites Knoxville/North I-75

Very comfortable and clean setup. Easy access to highway. Friendly and helpful staff. Quiet external Environment. Had very good rest

I will preface this review by saying that I read reviews almost obsessively trying to find the most comfortable hotel in my price range. I typically prefer Hampton Inns over other hotel chains, because they generally are more comfortable and clean and they have the breakfast option. Unfortunately, this hotel, in my opinion, has some misleading reviews. The rooms are dated- okay, fine, I can overlook that. But, the carpet needs to be replaced. It definitely had an odor to it. Our ac unit had to run at 68 to keep the room moderate and it was loud. We had to turn up the tv volume quite a bit at night to hear it over the unit. The pillows on the bed need to be updated. They deflated as soon as you laid back on them. I think the breaking point for me, though, was in the middle of the night, when my daughter had to use the restroom and she found two small roaches climbing up the bathroom door jam. Now, I realize that all hotels have roaches in their pipes and walls and such, but I’ve never had to kill then because they were actively out in the open. Being a mom and her two daughters, we shook out the beds and slept with the lights on the rest of the night. Roaches are just a no-no for $150+/night. The breakfast was typical, and the dining room cleanliness was okay. They girl on the first day ran it more efficiently than the person the second morning. Hopefully this helps the person who is like me- I just want to feel clean when I leave the hotel, and this one felt a little iffy. We had to shake out our clothes to make sure we didn’t carry any guests to our next destination.

We had a function on campus at University of Tennessee, this hotel was extremely close to the campus . Just a short drive up the interstate. Clean room , fantastic front desk. Grocery and gas very close . And a cracker barrel is all right there . Fast food within driving distance less then a mile . This hotel is back off the interstate a bit so not loud . Has a decent choice for breakfast food. 24 hr free water and coffee and "drinks" .Great pool area. Microwave and fridge in rooms. Beds comfy . Pillow are amazing. I honestly couldn't rave about this hotel enough, we was very comfy staying here for the few days we did .
