Travelled for a very special occasion that was spoiled by the infestation of bed bugs. Do not stay here. I was given a refund, but it was not worth the torment of dealing with bed bugs. They were everywhere.

They need to tear this place down, litterally. I checked for budbugs, but found a mouse droppings on the mattress instead. Front cover of HVAC was detached and would not reattach. Dirty peeling wallpaper everywhere. Water,rust and mold on ceilings everywhere. Smudges and dirty splatters on doors, fixtures, floors, door casings, elevator. Beer cans left in elevator and even stuck in the soffit on the outside of the building. peeling paint and rust everywhere. There were 2 thread bare sheets and very thin thread bare blanket only. We asked for 2 extra blankets for the total of 3 people staying in our room and were told we were only allowed one. There were a total 3 single plugs available in our room. the rest were taken up by multiplugs and extension cords which looked like a fire hazard to me. The "cable" had about 8 channels. The front desk was the only thing that looked halfway respectable about this place and that does not include the staff behind it. Staff was rude, incompetent, inhospitable, I have other choice words for them. I am enraged at the treatment of guests. We will never stay here or any Red Roof Inn EVER again! I would hope that will all the terrible reviews, Red Roof Inn Corporate would do something about this. They might as well put a "Room by the Hour " sign out front and call it like it is. This is absolutely disgusting and it was only a 2 night stay.

This was probably the worst RR that I've ever stayed in. I usually pick them over other motels but if they were like this I'd probably think again. Musty smell everywhere. HVAC did not warm up much. Bed was okay but since when did hotels stop providing anything other than a worn sheet and a threadbare blanket. Rust stains on the drop tiles over shower....ewww. At least it was a decent breakfast.

This old but well maintained property just off I-40 is a good choice for travelers on a budget. Near the UT campus and the McKay's used bookstore that is one of Knoxville's great attractions, the hotel is far enough off the freeway to be very quiet. Our room had a microwave and fridge and was very clean.
