The only real flaw was in my dinner. I paid $23 for a burger and fries. The burger was sub par to McDonald's and there was a total of 6 fries......thats insane! Everything else was normal though

Visited Knoxville for a concert at Thompson Boling Arena. Convenient location to the Arena. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet was fresh and good. The attendant, Alexis, provided friendly and efficient service.

About an 11 minute ride to downtown, 8 minutes from Target , Walmart and 18 minutes from the mall.
This location is right off the highway on the same street with a weathered Red Lobster, a Fairfield Inn and a Motel 6. Quite a mix but it works. There’s a shopping center across the main thoroughfare and several fast food outlets nearby.
Check in was fast and easy. The hotel seems very new as everything appears freshly painted, newly furnished and cleaned.
The room was on a higher floor on the opposite side from highway traffic which I would recommend.
Carpet in the hallway was loose and should probably be replaced. My room was as I expected with plenty of towels, a microwave and a fridge.
The beds were fluffy and quite elevated so perhaps the mattresses were really new?
The hotel is pet friendly but I only encountered a yorkie and a caged hamster in the hallway.
No funny smells, just an overall safe place to get some rest.
Plan to pay for a typical breakfast served free at Holiday Inn Express.
There’s not an omlet station or made to order option
