The razor-sharp receptionist of a certain age is still there, but retiring soon, I was told, which is sad, because she was one of several pleasant surprises during our recent one-night (And it said volumes about the wisdom of keeping senior citizens active in the workforce, but I digress.) Traveling with our small dog, who (as in another Knoxville hotel earlier in our road trip) was well received - our pet friendly room (which looked exactly like the double seen in the photos here) was down the hall from the lobby, next to an exit door -- handy for quick walks at night. The immediate neighborhood is the usual unassuming off-Interstate collection of franchise businesses, but there is a good supermarket next door, and the well-rated Puleo's Grill is a short walk away. Bonus points for our room not having that sickly antiseptic smell that we sometimes encounter at other roadside hotels. I'd stay again.
