Hotel Rodeway Inn & Suites Knoxville (Knoxville, USA)

There is so much included for the low price that guests will see the great value right away. The rooms are large and include daily cleaning services for those on extended stay. There is a pool and hot tub to relax in and the in-room features, like microwave and refrigerator, can cut down on eating out for every meal.

For a budget choice, the details are over and above what it usually received. Not only is there a pool, but it is lushly landscaped and some rooms include balconies. The breakfast isn't just a cold continental offering, but includes hot choices and is served in a nice area where guests can relax and dine.

The hotel is located in a very busy area, but the overnight stay is a quiet room. The proximity to interstates and many restaurants is a convenience and never becomes a problem with the noise. The rooms are quiet and peaceful and it's easy to forget the busy life outside the hotel doors.

The hotel has been owned by several other chains in the past and appears dated and used. While there has been efforts to improve and refurbish, some decor and furnishings remain from times past.

Many rooms in the hotel smell of mustiness when first entering. The air conditioning actually worsens the smell situation. Also, although the hotel is advertised as "smoke free", many rooms have that distinctive cigarette odor.

The hallways and interior of the hotel are very dark and some lights are turned off completely during later hours. This gives an overall bad first impression and makes guests uncomfortable when they have to go into those areas.
