Very surprised at level of service even for a Titanium member. Called and spoke to front desk the day before to request early check-in due to business meetings. Informed that request was made. At check-in informed no request was noted. Was informed I could try and find a place in extremely busy and noisy hotel to take video meetings. Overall check-in and check-out procedures disorganized and was informed different information from different people at front desk. Seemed hotel was very disorganized and overwhelmed. At other Marriott, especially JW Marriott properties staff goes above and beyond to make sure Titanium members are receiving a very high level of service. At the JW Marriott your status did not matter, service was disorganized, overwhelmed and could not figure out how to serve their high level members. Very disappointed in the property. Would not recommend for others to stay especially over a weekend. Room for a JW Marriott was horrible!! Furniture was damaged, carpeting was dirty and sticky and walls dirty. Definitely a party room. This had to be one of the worst rooms in the hotel. Provided feedback to front desk and was told ”nothing they could do as the hotel was busy and there was nothing they could do even for Titanium members”; ”also you are in Nashville where all rooms have wear and tear as this is a party city”! Could not believe it; a JW Marriott property telling customers that customers should expect damaged rooms in Nashville since Nashville is a party city! Can't believe a JW Marriott likes that reputation. Sat in bar area for evening drinks each night and every night had to ask at least 4 times for a glass of water! Lastly, the Bourbon and Steak restaurant has amazing views and fantastic food however the service was HORRIBLE. All servers we had were rude, condescending and had an attitude that we were bothering them. We had a party of six and my wife and I had a very late lunch that day. We met our party and we both ordered salads as we were not hungry for a large dinner at 5pm (only time we could get into restaurant which was OK). Waitstaff rolled their eyes when we placed our order and were very condescending toward us for my wife and I not having a large meal. At one point we were asked several times ”are you sure you do not want to order something else?” This was after multiple times explaining we had a very late lunch and could not eat a large dinner. Service ruined a beautiful restaurant.

The Airport Marriott is one of my favorite hotels. Its modern, clean, the staff are super friendly and the beds are extremely comfortable. There is a restaurant and a Starbucks on site or you can order room service and the food is delicious. This particular trip they gave me a free upgrade. I highly recommend this hotel when you're in Nashville. It's worth the money to stay here and Uber downtown if necessary.

The location of the hotel is good, you can see Vanderbilt University from the window, and it only takes 5 minutes to walk to Vanderbilt University, including waiting for the red light. The room is clean, comfortable and spacious. It is a suite with a living room. Fully equipped kitchen. The unexpected surprise is that the hotel has a free dinner before 7:00 p.m. The dishes are simple, including salad, cheese, local porridge and fried rolls, etc., but there is free flow of beer and red wine, as well as live performances by singers. It is indeed a city of music hotel. The hotel provides coffee and boiled water for free all day, but there is no free bottled water.

Hotel was great, not close enough to downtown but only a 7 min Uber ride away. Lots of food options within walking distance: Chipotle, Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, Arby's. I had a great view of the Nashville skyline. Service was okay, no housekeeping throughout the stay regardless of length of stay. Called front desk for extra towels but they told me to go collect them myself because they're understaffed. Pool was closed for the winter even though there were some warm days that would've allowed for pool use.

Stayed at the Loews Vanderbilt for a weekend to go to the Titans / Raiders game. While this hotel is out by Vanderbilt (about a mile and a half from downtown), you can get to downtown easy enough by UBER, or an electric scooter (if that is your thing). Friendly staff, very clean hotel. Good bar with good food. I recommend this hotel especially if, after a night downtown, you want a quiet hotel to relax in and recharge for the next night out.

The location is very good, the surrounding environment is good, quiet, the top floor observation deck is very good, you can look at the Mississippi River, you can see the bridge marked 'M'. The restaurant on the top floor is also good, you can go and taste it. There are no convenience stores and shopping malls around. It is more convenient to have a car or rent a car. This is the case in the general cities of the United States. It is very inconvenient to have no car. There are some snacks (popcorns and the like) in the hotel room that can be enjoyed free of charge. The hotel room is ok, but we live in a suite with an outdoor deck that can go out and enjoy the exterior. The terrace is large and connected to the next room. There is no problem with security. All the platforms need to be swiped before they can enter. There are leisure sofas on the platform, but there are more dust on the sofa and coffee table and the ground, as well as spider webs. The hotel is located in a large outdoor goods store. The interior decoration is very special. Some real animal specimens, birds, deer, etc. can be seen everywhere. There are also some introductions to the origin of the hotel, which is very story-like. I like to enjoy life in the American country. There is also a battlefield in the mall. There are guns and ammunition on the second floor. On the first floor, there are various mountain bikes, there are various fishing gears and swimwear, and a The harbor pier has a lot of local fish in it. There is also a city called Memphis in Egypt. The shape of this hotel is designed as a pyramid. From the second floor, it is designed as a hotel room along the inner circle of the pyramid. The room will look like a log cabin, plus The decoration of animal specimens is very interesting. The middle part and the first floor of the pyramid are shopping malls, restaurants, bowling alleys and shooting clubs. The top floor is the observation deck and the steakhouse. The hotel is relatively new, the room is relatively large, that is, the windows of some rooms are facing the indoor shopping malls, the shopping malls are exquisitely arranged, and the view from the room is also a scene. In short, to travel to Memphis, this is a place worth living.

The check in process was fast, the front desk staff was good and professional. Easy parking, in quiet neighborhood, inviting lobby, clean hallways. Great hot shower temperature, clean beds. Had following issues: 1. WiFi did not work and the hotel insisted we called the toll free number provided by them ourselves to solve it, which I believe it's the hotel's responsibility to provide easy access WiFi and resolve technical issues on their end. 2. General Manager, Leslie Mitchell, would use more active listening and empathy, rather than came across as defensive, unresponsive, careless about the customers. 3. No hairdryer, nor extra roll of toilet paper, nor complimentary bottled water upon arrival of the room. 4. Shower head had water pouring toward the further wall across, would be better if properly position to have water flowing right in the middle of the bathtub/shower room or towards the interior wall away from the shower curtain/outside. 5. obvious carpet stains, and door stain as well as fell-off paints. Sheraton is known to be a reputable hotel chain, and haven't stayed with Sheraton for a long time, not a good experience, especially with bad attitude and poor customer care from the general manager in this location.

The prices for Downtown Memphis hotels were really high and at around £150, this appeared one of the better 'budget' options. We were not disappointed and will not hesitate to stay here again. Free parking (probably the only downtown hotel to offer this) which was gated and secure. The hotel itself was very modern, with fantastic Memphis photos covering the lobby walls. The room itself was much larger than expected, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was typical budget options but was included in the price and more than adequate. The hotel is on Union and within a 5 to 10-minute walk is Beale St, Peabody, and other Downtown attractions. The only fault we found was the windows are not very sound-proofed and the bikes leaving Beale St on the Wednesday night were very loud at the lights outside the hotel - but that is a minor qualm as it is only on Wednesday this occurs - and the bikes were louder than average bikes.

It was very difficult to get to this hotel. Our GPS kept on wanting us to go through Main Street, which is for pedestrians and the trolley only. Entry is from Front street. After turning around and around, we get to the hotel hoping for valet. None that week. We were sent to park on our own in a building on Front street and given a code to go in and out. In my frazzled state, I could not understand the instructions the receptionist was giving me. In the end, he came out and pointed to the building. No fee for that. However, they didn't have large luggage carriers, and as we were traveling for a long time and staying 4 days, we had to do 2 trips with it to transfer all of our luggages. The bar was closed. The room was in the historic Kress building, so we had to cross over to that building from the reception. It was a large suite, with 2 queen beds on one side, half a wall, and a trundle bed on the other side. The room was very confortable. The beds were confortable and so were the linens. Irritants - too much light through bathroom doors! When someone would go to the bathroom, the light shone in my face the whole time even though they closed the door. It was pretty annoying, mostly at night when it woke me up. Also, under his trundle bed was a whole bunch of junk left by preceeding occupants. It was never cleaned while we were there. From the description online, I thought there would be a sofa bed and a trundle bed. Just a trundle bed in our room. We also had a small fridge. We appreciated how, without us asking, they left a bag of towels attached to the doorknob on day 2. Breakfast was OK, the room was fairly small, and a homeless man kept on knocking in the window in the morning. The breakfast attendant did what she could to push him away though. There was waffles, eggs, meats, oatmeal, cereals and breads. We really enjoyed the hard boiled eggs in that location. The hotel is very well located, on Main street and walkable to Beale Street or the Pyramid. The university is right there too. Staff was OK.

The hotel itself is very nice. Our room was lovely, quiet, large, 2 big beds which were amazingly comfortable. Wish I could have taken the pillows home. The room was cleaned daily. I am quite surprised how many reviews have said the hotel is dirty. This was definitely not the case from what we experienced. 15 minute walk to Beale Street although you can use the free shuttle. Reg is so lovely and friendly and you just need to give a tip. Breakfast is $15 each or you walk over to the Sheraton, you can get a tram to various cafes that do breakfast. The Bar opens at 3.00pm and the bar lady is friendly, however the cost of a bottle of wine is $43! To be honest the whole of the USA is expensive for wine! The only reason we haven't given 5 stars to this hotel, the Reception Staff are miserable! We arrived at 2.45pm and went straight to the desk, excited, as you do, to be told abruptly check in is not until 3.00pm so my partner and I sat waiting until 3.00pm after a long time travelling. We then stood about 2 metres from the Desk and still ignored. I had to stand right up at the desk and then the young woman finally said come over to this one. No smile, no greeting, no advice, no nothing. To be treated like that on arrival is disgusting. She either had a very bad day or should not be in a customer facing role! I have never experienced this attitude at a hotel before. Unfortunately we did not catch her name but we did complain to the Manager Bruce about the poor service. Sadly this is one of the things we remember most about the hotel.

My wife and I spent one night at The Edwin Hotel and it could not have been better. We tried to make the most of the on-site amenities and visited both Whitebird and Whiskey Thief. Both were great experiences. The next morning we had breakfast at Rembrandts in the nearby art district. Our room was a welcome change from chain hotels and was nicely appointed. Our view was mainly of the Hunter Art Museum but we could see the Tennessee River also. The location is a huge plus and we enjoyed walking across the Walnut Street Bridge and over into Coolidge Park. This is one of the best hotels we have ever been to and would love to return.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary here and it was extremely nice! The breathtaking ambiance when you walk inside to the bellmen with the hats and curtesy they gave us when we first arrived. Our room was on the 10th floor end unit as we walked inside was kinda small but the bathroom was big! Quiet room, pillows were ok but bed was very comfortable! Room service was great but only Friday-Sunday, very disappointed as we stayed through Monday. I love in room service fir breakfast especially! The restaurant was superb and our waiter Chris was absolutely perfect! The bartender in the front bar named I believe Barry was such an amazing guy! Good food in there to order as well! Anything you needed the front desk accommodated very nicely! The tour of room 311 was definitely a must! Valet Parking was a bit pricey but worth it!

I want to preface my review with the fact that I never write negative reviews. I try to give businesses and folks in general the benefit of the doubt. I can't let this one go, however. My husband and are regular travelers and to be fair generally stay at Hyatt Hotels, as we have status and benefits through Hyatt. We've been considering a change, as Hyatt does not have as many benefits as years past. We will however RUN FROM BONVOY, thanks to the Westin Chattanooga. They really messed this one up, as I have a small business and they could have benefited from having us as loyal patrons. We were staying at the hotel for 3 nights, with a large business event being held here for my husband's industry. To start, our room was never adequately cleaned. The first day the bed looked as though a toddler tried their best to make the bed. Zero effort went in to tidying up the bed. Dirty hand towels were left in the bathroom, empty water bottles left out and trash items like wrappers, etc. were left about the room. I have never witnessed such a poor attempt at ”cleaning” a room before. Not even during Covid did I see such a lack of effort. My husband called down to let the manager know and they assured us it would be better the following day. They also let us know several others had called down to complain. Day two, the room was cleaned in the exact same manner. Absolutely nothing changed. The third incident was my room service order. I ordered the Westin Breakfast that was delivered to my room with no potatoes. I declined to even address the issue at the time, as I had an appointment to make. Lastly, and the reason for this review, was the $250 charge for the broken mirror. The day before we departed, my husband and I were getting ready to leave our room when a loud noise was heard from RM 711 and the wall moved. Someone had either hit the wall, stumbled or something else on the other side of the wall adjacent to our room. I saw the mirror on our side of the wall swell and then heard and saw it crack immediately. I told my husband to make sure to call and report this, as I was certain with our experience we would be undoubtedly blamed for this incident. We called immediately to report what happened and spoke to the manager at checkout as well. He was extremely apologetic and tried to offer us breakfast, as sandwich, anything to attempt to make up for our troubles. We declined, as we had a flight to catch but I did appreciate the attempt. At minimum, our breakfast should have been comped. It wasn't. My husband made it clear on numerous occasions that we were concerned they would try to stick us with the charge for the mirror. I realize the Westin has to take us at our word, however I believe everyone should take accountability in life. Had this legitimately been our fault, we would absolutely pay for it. We did not cause any damage to this mirror or the room. Now we are tasked with having to dispute this charge with our credit card company. I've also waste

If being saturated in the smell of sewage (I assume from the nearby city sewer system), being terminally tormented by the tedious sounds of traffic, cringing all night at the excruciating cacophony of construction activity, wincing at the grating sound of city vehicles cleaning streets and emptying dumpsters outside your room all night, being deafened at 4 a. m. by a diesel delivery truck parked outside your room running their refrigeration units at 120 decibels and clanging on metal unloading ramps loudly enough to wake the deceased, and a general unawareness of and indifference to your suffering and the very idea that a lodger might wish to sleep at night are what you seek, this hotel is for you! The hotel was clean and neat inside the room and conveniently located near City Cafe and a public transport stop, however, the notion that a lodger might desire sleep seems to have escaped them. In my personal experience Hotel Bo now has pride of place for providing (or not providing, rather) the worst night of ”sleep” (torture, rather) at a hotel that I have had in half a century. I honestly could have slept in my truck in a Walmart parking lot and been happier and more rested right now. I find it humorously ironic, I guess, that I arrived after midnight due to a difficult journey thinking I would crash hard and sleep through any disturbance a hotel might have the capacity to conjure up in the night, not knowing that the fates were already laughing devilishly at what they had planned for me at Hotel Bo. So, here I sit at City Cafe (since 5 a. m., by the way) musing to myself about my own idiocy. Caveat emptor.

We stopped here on a return trip from visiting friends in Virginia. The hotel is at the foot of Lookout Mountain so the view is mostly trees but in a pleasant, quieter location outside of downtown Chattanooga. There is a Cracker Barrel on the same road just below the hotel. We easily drove back into town for supper at Carraba's. The lobby was very inviting with a mountain lodge feel and a crackling fire in the fireplace. We had a suite with separate sitting room and bedroom on the 3rd floor. Ask for a room facing the mountain - we had a view of the dumpster from our room. (Not mad about the dumpster - every hotel needs one. Just didn't think about asking for a specific view.) The room was very clean with one exception - some hairs left behind on the wall of the shower stall. The color pattern of the tile might have camouflaged them so that housekeeping overlooked them, and it was not a deal-breaker for us but might warrant some additional training for staff. The breakfast area was busy on a Tuesday morning, so much so that coffee and food items ran out and were being replenished by possibly the only worker responsible for the buffet. He was trying his hardest to stay caught up to the many guests and I suspect this was just a staffing problem, possibly someone not showing up to work the breakfast shift. Every hotel associate we encountered or spoke to was very polite and helpful. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it.

We spent a wonderful night at the Hotel Indigo Chattanooga. The hotel is updated and comfortable, with very friendly and welcoming staff members. Special recognition for Aaron at check-in and all of the great valet staff. We had a hotel upgrade to a suite based on our IHG membership level. The suite was tastefully decorated with modern touches, and it was a very quiet and cool retreat on a hot July night. The location is great with a short walk to the shops and restaurants on Broad Street & Market Street, and all of the attractions near the River. We’ll be back!

The hotel is old, especially the carpet has a damp smell and feels not clean. But its location is very good, the parking lot is large, the room is large, the service is good, the breakfast is good, because of the familiarity, I have lived here many times. Once I stayed at the Marriott Hotel next to me. Although it was luxurious, the room was small. I also reported two fire alarms in the middle of the night. The price was too low and the experience was too bad. So I often live here.

So first off let me say that this hotel is still an ok place to stay. I would however also say that by charging 300+ a night for a room you have certain expectations, and those were not met this trip. From the outside, the hotel was lovely as always. The lobby seemed clean but had a few minor issues, and the furniture seemed like it could use a refresh. So my initial impression was favorable. We got to the room and at first glance, things seemed ok, but when you started looking around that's when the issues started. First, the chair had a fabric piping that was half torn off. The carpet seemed to be really worn in spots and could have used a cleaning. The shower had a patch job that looked like someone with no experience slapped calk around the edge of the shower and the drain; it was seriously an eyesore. Then when my daughter went to take a bath she told us it looked like something black was on the walls. Sure enough, there was something black on the wall. I am no mold expert, but it appeared to be black mold although I have no way of confirming that. Then we went to look at the beds before we got in and one bed had a blood spot on the mattress cover that lined up perfectly with the mattress itself so I know that no one even attempted to clean it; all they did was slap a clean fitted sheet on the bed. The mattresses on the beds are so bad that my wife and I woke up with sore backs every morning; I never used to have a problem with their beds in the past so I can only assume that the mattresses are in need of replacing. Also on the balcony when the HVAC unit is running it sounds like you are sitting next to a jet engine. I have stayed at this hotel at least 5 times in the past and do not remember the HVAC being so loud on the balcony. Also, they claim to be short-staffed on housekeeping so they only offer room cleanings once every 3 days during your stay. That means if you need towels, toilet paper, or the trash taken out you have to call them which is not great for what you are paying for this room; I can see every other day, but seriously every 3 days is ridiculous! The hot tub had tiles missing and water was leaking through the opening of the backer board which I cannot imagine is good for the hot tub. Also on all 4 nights of our stay, it looked like the hot tub got cleaned 1 time. When you are charging 300-500 a night for a ”standard room” depending on the time of year you have expectations that things will be taken care of, and that your room will be clean and well-kept. I used to pay 150-200 a night for this hotel and the hotel was immaculate, so clearly someone is taking the money and not reinvesting in the property. I stay here to escape the bad experiences that I've had at other Gatlinburg hotels, and that used to work until this trip. I really hope they reinvest in this property and gut all the rooms to do a complete makeover because otherwise there is no way this hotel is worth the price they are charging current

I really wanted to love this place. The location is perfect to quickly get to the attractions in Gatlinburg without fighting traffic and the views are incredible. The food from vista grille is surprisingly delicious for hotel food and the welcome cookie was so good. The front desk staff and restaurant staff are the best. So polite and friendly each and every time. But this place is busy. It is a convention center and there was an event every day during our stay. There is not ample parking to accommodate a packed hotel during peak season and daily events. Allowing guests to park in the fire lane seems like a major safety issue. The rooms are a decent size however, the beds are not great unless you like sleeping on a worn out extra firm mattress. The rooms also need a deep cleaning. I understand that there is a quick turnover between guests but these rooms haven’t had a good cleaning in years. There was hair left behind from a previous guest in the bathroom and years of dust behind the couch. For almost $300/night, I expected more.

The service was great! After checking in Ginger sent a text to ask if everything was good with the room. We had a light out in the bathroom and it was fixed the next morning. The only other thing is the water pressure was low and the heat didn't shut off after it got to the temperature we had it set on it just ran all night and it was so hot even when we turned it all the way down. We couldn't sleep it was so hot! We just cut it off at night and we stayed comfortable all night. Other than that it was a fare stay.

We were on a road trip from Wales, and after staying here in 2019, we chose it again for 1 night between our 2 days in Dollywood as it provides the excellent, and complimentary, TimeSaver pass and shuttle to the park (parking is free at the hotel). Logan on the desk was fantastic - thank you very much!! The hotel itself is beautiful and very comfortable and homely. The decor is tasteful (with Dolly pics here and there) and there is a great coffee shop on site where you can also buy cinammon bread (why wouldn't you?). Minor quibble with the room which was on the 3rd floor (2nd UK), but at the very end of the building so a little bit of a walk for our tired legs! But the room itself was as our previous visit, very comfortable and clean. The grounds are beautiful with a butterfly garden, fire pits for smores, lovely pool (also an indoor pool), kids play areas and a covered area that shows family films in the evenings. Pokeberry Lane is a nice little gift shop selling Dolly, Dollywood and Dreammore souvenirs. Unfortunately the budget on a 2-week road trip from the UK means we had to restrict ourselves to 1 night - but if the price was just a little bit less we would have definitely stayed the full 4 nights we were in the Smokies. That being said, it is a very well-appointed hotel and probably worth the price in today's climate.

Normally I leave comments on my stay with Hilton Rewards, but this was BAD!!! Where to begin. The first night (Monday) was bad!! The bartender Kassey let me know immediately it was her Friday. (last day before being off). Her service really showed!! When I arrived to dining room she never acknowledge or came to my table. I waited for thirty minutes. It was ok because I still had paper work to finish from the day. Finally I got up an went to the bar to order. Lets say she was not happy. I had to basically bus my own table, go get my own refills, take food to bar, take empty bottles to the bar. This is very SAD!!! Here's a little history Monday-Friday I'm in a Hilton hotel every week. Day two I seat in the dinning room again. I waited 1 hour. Finally I called the hotel & got the front desk an was transferred. The bartender was HOT and told I should have got up and came to the bar. Needless to say the service was very bad kind of retaliation for calling the hotel. I was charged 1$ for a to-go box. I got food to go the first night NO CHARGE!!! The first two nights I ordered wings all drumettes no up charge. The third night the aggressive bartender charged me 2$ extra said I was doing to much. This was really sad because I always tip the FOOD SERVICE WELL. I TIPPED HER WELL AND THE SERVICE WAS JUST UNACCEPTABLE!!! I'M A REGIONAL CHEF AN THIS WAS JUST CRAZY. I HAVE WORKED IN FOOD SERVICE FOR 25+ YEARS AND NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. UNFORTUNATELY I REGET TIPPING SO MUCH.

I wouldn’t stay again, it was quite disappointing. When we got there, a man at the desk was having an asthma attack from the smoke smell in his room and was getting a refund. Then, a mom came out 10 minutes later stating that a group was smoking **** on the balcony around her children. When we got in our room, the comforters smelled like **** as well. Pillows were fine however, and the room itself smelled okay. The shower head was too short to wash hair, I could put my chin on it as a 5’7” female.

We enjoyed our stay we got in late on Wednesday night, there was a stain on the top blanket, notified housekeeping the next day and they took care of it right away, the rooms are very nice and clean except for the blanket but it was no big deal, I run a hotel in Lexington and I know this can happen, our door wouldn’t lock as we left the next day reported it to the front desk and it was taken care of right away, no big deal I know this can happen as well. The property it self was clean and that is a big plus after all as I say the outside of a hotel reflects the inside of the hotel. I would suggest instead of one chair outside the rooms maybe two chairs and ash trays around the area would help the smokers. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family. Another plus is that you couldn’t hear anything going on outside or the room next to you and that means a lot. Thank you for your great service Lisa

This hotel should be the standard that every single Marriott aspires to! We are Bonvoy Gold members and travel a lot. Through the years, our family of four has stayed at dozens of Marriotts up and down the entire east coast, and while some are better than others, this one sets the bar above and beyond. From the moment we pulled up, we were impressed. The facade of this hotel is beautiful. The grounds were pristine and the landscaping was really pretty. Parking was easy and convenient, something we really appreciated after a 12 hr car ride from New York. When we stepped inside, the lobby took our breath away. The decor is gorgeous. It is very modern with rustic touches and everything is immaculate. They pipe their citrusy signature scent throughout the entire hotel and it smells absolutely amazing! Check in was super easy and the front desk staff was really friendly and helpful, answering all of our questions. I was also equally impressed with our room. For anyone who has read some of my previous reviews, you know that I bring my own cleaning supplies with me to go over the room whenever we stay at a hotel, and a lot of times, the Clorox wipes and Swiffer pads come off the surfaces filthy. Not here. This place is CLEAN!! I am very particular about this, so if you are reading this review and you are a clean freak too, you can trust me that this hotel will totally meet your standards. The room furnishings are pretty new and the carpets are clean. We got a room with two queens and a sofa seating area, since my husband planned to work from the room each morning, and there was plenty of space for the 4 of us. There was a small fridge (my only complaint was that it was too small, it only fit a few bottles of water, no room for dinner leftovers which my teens enjoy having in the room in case they are hungry during off meal times). There is also a microwave. The bathroom was a good size and also very clean. What really sets this hotel apart from others is the amenities. This hotel was designed for families and for comfort. It really is like a home away from home. There are so many cozy seating areas all over the grounds, a huge stone fireplace in the lobby with the fire going at most times, two fire pit areas, lots of seating to eat, a courtyard with cornhole games, two pools (an indoor pool, as well as the amazing lazy river pool), a hot tub, an arcade game room, a bar and a lounge area in the lobby with a giant connect four game on the coffee table. Throughout our 4 day stay, there were cleaning people in every area of the hotel all day. I really cannot say enough how impressed I was by the level of care that goes into maintaining this hotel. Even the elevators and the water stations in the lobby were immaculate at all times. The location was great, right on the parkway, only minutes from all of the main attractions. I will absolutely recommend this hotel to everyone I know who is interested in visiting the area. This was probably the

The pool (outside) was just AMAZING for families. 1’-4.5’ with the beautiful (FAST!) slide- mushroom waterfall feature- and many tiny water features in shallow end for the littles or for us moms who don’t feel like going allll the way in lol! Towels provided- hotel was clean, pet friendly, and just perfect. We also visited the indoor pool one late night (pools are open until 11pm!) and I was also very clean and well kept…..Breakfast was very nice (served from 6-10am daily). My family was sad to leave and cannot wait to be back! Highly recommend.

On a positive note the staff was friendly and efficient as they could be with what they had to work with....the price was great that should have been the first clue That was the only positive there was! The elevator had a toilet brush in the floor for two days and smelt like a dirty bathroom and looked like it had never been cleaned The room was twice as dirty from sink that had hair and bugs and gnats flying around to the bathtub that the drain stopper was broke and the floor that had tags from clothes from previous guest and floors in bedroom area were so dirty if you didn't wear shoes your feet were black, the bed was hard and worse of all ants were on floor and made it to bed The tv was a joke no reception on lower channels reception from channel 32 to 46 only complained to desk twice and was told that dish on top of hotel was broke and they were aware of problem Very noisey would not recommend for small children especially I have stayed at other Days Inns and they were not like this I feel that Wyndham should be ashamed to have this hotel affiliated with their name We will never go there again

The hotel is very large, on the edge of the Pigeon Valley National Road, it is very convenient to come from the Great Smoky Mountain Forest Park. It feels that a whole lot of commercials belong to this hotel. The rooms are large and very beautiful. There are various commercial and amusement buildings downstairs. Facilities, parking is free. There is a Chinese reception at the front desk. Personally feel that the street view is better than the river view. The river view room arrived at night, a dark river. The hotel has a self-service laundry room. This is very important. At 11 o'clock in the evening, there are still many people playing outside, almost all families with children.

This was our best hotel stay in ages. We were checked in by Natalie, who was friendly, helpful, and just fun. She made sure to get us a quiet room and made sure we were clear on how to get to our evening's destination. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. The wifi took a bit of finagling to get connected, but once we got it connected, it stayed connected and worked well. We slept soundly and comfortably, waking up refreshed. Check out went smoothly. We'll return if possible.

First of all let me say the smell when you walk in that greets you is curry. To the point it burns your nose. Certain parts of the hall smelled like a litter box. Rooms needed updated. Barely hot water with no pressure. The mattress was outdated. Would only stay if no other place available.

Knoxville|0.94km from city center
This hotel has all the makings for a premier city hotel: location, being adjacent to the convention center, as well as downtown restaurants and more; the appearance is very nice, from the lobby to the room itself; and the staff shows that approach to service one looks for when traveling. All of this and more, and it sounds like we are headed for a nice quality stay: But not so fast…. The Good: The lobby is simply beautiful, with clean modern lines, but still giving that welcoming feel. The front desk help was simply amazing: Abbi and Abbey were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and prompt: Enjoyed my conversation with them, and the valuable information learned. And of course there’s Ed, an older “guest relations”type gentleman, who greets everyone with a complimentary glass of champagne; and somehow remembers the names of each and everyone he speaks too; remarkable. The rooms are modern and inviting; even the bathrooms have a nice upscale feel to them. So far, I’m overly impressed, especially in this price range…. But The Bad: Not a deal breaker, but when opting to pay more for a room with a view, we didn’t exactly get one from our 3rd floor room. A friend of ours booked a normal room, and ended up on the 5th floor with a view; and for much less money. Feels like paying for an upgrade is a waste of money. Also: Off n on during the night, emergency vehicles were blasting up n down Henley Street with the sirens blaring. I certainly understand being in the city, you’d expect this on a normal basis; but the walls of the hotel certainly showed their thinness. These sirens were very loud, and we weren’t even in a room facing Henley. This isn’t the fault of the hotel, but still worth noting. And then there’s the $28 fee for valet parking(no self parking). It just seems a bit much in my opinion. The valet guys do a nice job, so I’d rather tip them more, as to see the hotel charge this much. The Ugly: I hate to find anything that qualifies as a deal breaker, but… We returned from dinner, and couldn’t get the tv to tune in: I’m not sure why it said “no signal or connection”… No big deal, as we were worn out from all the youth basketball games we attended, but it would’ve been nice to at least watch a few mins of something. But the one major letdown I cannot overlook, was an A/C unit malfunction. We woke up to a pool of sweat, and called the front desk. The gentleman showed up, looked at it, and said he could have engineering look at it at 7am. Well, not sure what he thought we’d do for sleep, as it was simply too hot to just doze on off: And strangely and disappointingly, no one ever followed up the next day. Of course this type of hotel design doesn’t have windows that can be used for ventilation, so there was no relief period. I don’t think either of us rested much if any, so it pretty much ruined the entire stay. Things happen, but maybe an offer to move us to another room, which wasn’t an easy task in the middle of the night,

This hotel was a very beautiful hotel with nicely furnished rooms and nice amenities. The hotel has a complimentary breakfast and evening reception. The hotel is near restaurants, shops and entertainment. All hotel staff were professional and courteous. The only issue I experienced was parking, I did valet parking on the first night but a front desk employee told me that free parking was available on the street after 6:00pm and before 8:00 am. She neglected to tell me on special event weekends cars must be moved by 5:00 am. She was not informed and apologized for the error but my car was towed at 5:20 am. Hotel valet parking is the best option in most cases.

Janice, formerly known as ”Strephanie the Old Fashioned Queen” provided service, attention, and delicious drinks to a degree that most hotel bartenders would dare to travel to. Janice had looks. Janice had sex appeal. Janice was punctual, most of the time. However Janice had skills that would put East Tennessee's best bartenders to shame. Her attention to detail was undeniable as seen in the large, delicious, smooth ice balls in my old fashioneds. I once saw a man walk up to Janice, hold his empty wine glass up to her, and say, ”more please.” Janice filled his glass promptly, way past where I would've filled it, and accepted a $56 tip. Great work, Janice, for an average Pinot Grigio. That guy was a total tool, though. Janice was ”Bright as a Button” and her smile radiates throughout the bar...and my dreams. I'll miss you, Janice. Until next time, 8:55 will always be a memorable time in my heart. You know why. Ring my bell, Steph, ring it.

I had booked a reservation for a trip with 2 of my friends for a dog show. We each have a small dog. I checked when I booked that they take dogs. We check in and start getting into our room and the front desk calls to say they see we have dogs, they don't take dogs. After some discussion, and the lady at the desk apologizing for any miscommunication, they said if I paid a deposit, I could stay. A $200 deposit. Refundable, as long as no damage. This room already had a big slice in the carpet and some trim that was just laid up against the wallboard. Then she said, oh, all 3 of you have dogs, so it's actually $400 deposit. After we thought about it awhile, we decided we would not stay. From the conversation and tone of her voice, they didn't want us anyway. I felt uncomfortable to stay in case their rules changed again and the deposit wasn't refundable! Will not stay at this Best Western ever.

We stayed here for a single overnight, and it was fine for that, but I wouldn't stay for a prolonged trip - would have been a bit cramped for that. Room configurations leave something to be desired - despite having space for a regular door, bathroom door was instead a sliding barn door, which leaves gaps and means privacy is not really possible. They also have the aesthetic choice to offer an opaque glass wall opposite the shower that is viewable from the bed area - I wish hotels would stop doing this. I was sharing this room with a friend, and neither of us have a desire to see the other nude, no matter how blurry that image may be. Functionality gives way to trendiness and its to the hotel brand's detriment. Aside from these issues, bed was very large and comfortable, water pressure was good, and the hotel was nicely situated near a grocery store and shopping area. Very clean as well. As we stayed so short a time, we didn't really see much of the staff, but service was very nice and efficient during check-in. Not a bad place to stay, but just know what to expect.

Our favorite place to stay in Johnson City. It is clean and convenient to most locations I need to visit. They also have a free charging station (a J1772 and a Tesla destination charger), which is extremely convenient.

Spent the last cold and rainy weekend in Johnson City. The hotel is clean and comfortable. We used phone or keyless access to the room. We used the Hilton app to check in and out. We did not use the indoor or outdoor pool due to the weather. Not sure if either is heated. Rooms provide a deal, microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot with cups, coffee and tea. There is a television, an iron, and hairdryer.We did not eat at the restaurant one can take Hilton points or a credit instead. It was a nice visit.

Booked this room for 2 people. It was better priced than another hotel so I thought I would take a chance. I’m glad I did, the room was easy big enough for 4 adults, the beds were so comfortable I slept really well. It was clean, modern, spacious and quite. It’s in a nice safe area, staff very friendly, towels ect all new, coffee complimentary at reception. In all I would definitely stay here again, for price it’s unbeatable.

My review. Our recent stay at your Johnson City hotel, was what I would consider tense. Started as we walked in and was required to sign an additional form for group/team events and charging $250 extra if violations took place within the group. With being miles from a large sporting event/events, you are discriminating against a group that I would guess brings you a lot of revenue. With many of the teams choosing your facilities over others, I am guessing we brought in a lot more revenue then the stamp convention you hosted at the same time. Did they sign the same amended contract? Yes kids were in the halls, running around, playing in the back parking lot, but was anything destroyed? Many of your employees sure did act like it. Police called at least 2x. No violence occurred or illegal stuff took place. Again just added to the tension. The person arranging the block of rooms, 16, or better put $10k, got an email saying all the things we did wrong? This appeared to be a blasted email as other teams got the same when we asked how their stay was. By the way, we got a call too as she did not open the email quick enough. Here is what I say, if you want peace and quit, then choose not to be on the list for large sporting events or give blocks of rooms. Not saying let kids tear apart your hotel, but if managers can not handle large events then do one of two things; Only book a percent of your hotel or get better management. Understand you are dealing with a sport that has disposable income. That will spend $400 on a bat and will think nothing of it , and will be 1 of 4 they already have. You have a group of people that travel a lot and will now choose other chains of hotels based on one experience. We are not asking to allow groups to get out of control and cause damage or violence, but to be treated the same as any other patrons and not discriminated against them moment you walk in to the moment we thankfully left.

There are things we expect when we stay at a hotel with the status of a Hampton Inn. Since the pandemic I have seen most places struggle with maintaining their level of quality in both the establishment as well as their staff. Although the rooms could have been cleaner in areas the staff made the difference for me. ”Matt” was a young man who greeted me and it was with such professionalism and enthusiasm it turned my tired from driving mood to a happy to be here mood. In my interactions with several of the staff they were all very pleasant and professional. All in all I will stay there when i am in town because of the staff.

Let me begin by saying that the staff here were amazing! Alister and Sharon were fantastic! They made my stay feel like I was gathering with friends and were so polite and courteous I felt like royalty! The night I came they had a guest reception where they let you drink beer or wine and have snacks for a few hours and it was free! The breakfast was loaded with delicious food, hot and fresh! My room was immaculate and clean. The lighting was good and the bathroom was peaceful. The water pressure was perfect! They have a pool and a spa with an exercise room as well. They have a business center with a printer which was convenient. In closing I want to personally thank both Sharon and Alister! Sharon was a perfect hostess during the guest reception! She was warm, funny, and a breath of fresh air! Alister was most accommodating and never hesitated to help me when I messed up my key cards a bunch of times due to my magnetic clip on my wallet. He was engaging, positive, and relatable! These two are by far the best ambassadors your establishment could hope for. Thank you guys and I will be back!

I had to pay twice because I booked through trip.com and accidentally booked the wrong night. The representative spoke with the hotel manager who then gave permission to cancel the reservation. After days dealing with the trip.com representative, I came to the conclusion that I was never going to get a refund. What a rip off. I will never us that app again.

I stayed here looking to move to the area. Hotel was conveniently located, I didn't eat breakfast there, but it was your normal continental breakfast. The updates were just new paint and some new decor, but the walls were pretty dinged up. The beds would be my only complaint. They were extremely firm. I had a tough time sleeping.
