Is fun. Good food great poeple a nice library. Probally one the most comfortable places in tennessee.

Family member serving 38 hours for an offense. A friend was outside waiting. He finally went inside and was told that he had to check in for the release process to start. According to the information given he was supposed to be released by 0746 am. He is now being held past his time that was agreed upon! This facility needs and overview by the state! Reviews show poor processing times, detaining individuals much longer than what was agreed upon by the court of Law!! They do not have the personnel or systems in place to assure that their rights are upheld! read more

So, I recommend making a reservation and staying elsewhere. For starters, the bellman met me up front, took my stuff but seemed to have misplaced it until I checked out. So of course he got no tip from me. The concierge service was a bit hit or miss. Some were ok fielding requests and others seem to have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed that day. Like they had better things to do than assist me. I got the feeling most had not had much experience in hospitality management. The concierge kept looking in my room every hour, sometimes with a flashlight, and asking my name every time they came on shift... seems like they should know who was in there, but they did double-book my room with some other guy which proved to be somewhat inconvenient at times. I can guess they want to stay on top of occupancy rates. They didn't apologize at all for the double-booking though... in fact a couple even laughed at that. The on-site photo booth seemed to be a big hit! Everyone, and I mean everyone, was hitting that place up... but the complimentary rectal peruse from the onsite proctologist seemed forced. I don't think he enjoys his work, but I can see why. Looks like he has to deal with asses and assholes all day. Small cramped rooms. Rather sparsely furnished, even a minimalist would be asking for some stuff. I'm a fan of firm mattresses but these may have been just a tad too firm even for me. Felt more like a piece of steel and a Gym mat to be honest. Guess my light was broken as it wouldn't shut off at all. Only had a 1/4 bath but stunningly crafted and installed in a very durable stainless steel finish. Speaking of construction, one gentleman tested the durability of his door with rapid fist pounding and kicking well into the wee evening hours... but that door held up nicely. The concierge as well as several other guests were not too pleased and voiced some displeasure with loud, and somewhat terse, language. Showers were fairly communal but only a short walk downstairs. Hunted high and low but could not find the thermostat to save my life. Wifi and cable were out in rooms but it seemed I had misplaced my phone and the TV must've been out for repair. I don't think it mattered as there seemed to be only one channel, and it showed reruns of some 1980s police drama every time I caught a glance. Cheap store with amazon- like ordering, not so much on the selection or delivery though, but finding an ATM to take out money proved troublesome. I had misplaced my wallet anyway... it's possible the bellman had that as well. Local nightlife was interesting. I'd hear and see folks out there... but every time I went out, they'd be gone. Always the same dudes there. Real sausagefest. Onsight restaurant was on par with army chowhall t-rats in the desert. Onsite laundry service had an odd schedule, and most everyone's fashion choices were oddly similar... stripes are supposed to be slimming or something like that? But talk about your local team spirit... everyone's socks, shoes, hell even their underwear matched the local university colors! GoVols! Neighborhood might be sketch as there were bars on all the windows and a really rather tall fence with razor wire... presumably to keep the inhabitants safe inside. Appreciate this. I was inside and even I couldn't even find a way out, so I felt fairly certain no one was getting in. Didn't see many trying anyway. Really cheap rate, but you get what you pay for... would not recommend to a friend or even frenemy. It appears others may share my viewpoint as no one seemed to be at all enthusiastic about checking in, and everyone was fairly glad to be departing to other destinations. This is my only review as I won't be staying again... ever... at this nor any of the other local, state, or national chains. Let's just say I've learned my lesson on places like this. Just give Paris Hilton your money instead... you'll thank me later. read more

The reception upon arrival is strange. It's not very welcoming but yet they wouldn't let me leave. Odd that the first thing I had to do is strip and exchange my cute clothes for a less than desirable red jumpsuit. (Though the corrections officer did gush that she thought my dress I had to hand over to her was cute and that no one up in there dresses cute anymore- thanks girlll!) They provided me no socks so my feet felt sticky and cold inside the off-brand Crocs that were provided. It's cold, and the food is a bit under par. Staff were mostly very rude when asked even the simplest questions. The other guests seemed to share my less than favorable opinion of the establishment. Finally, begrudgingly, they let me out the next morning. Staff was actually pretty friendly upon departure. Not the best bed and breakfast in the greater Knoxville area but I've had worse. Still a better stay than the Marriott downtown. Still would not recommend. read more

I have a friend in need of help there and I can't get the programs division to answer the phone or call me back!!!
