We had Rm#102. It was great clean no bugs smelled fresh. Enjoyed the shower if I come back to Knoxville Tennessee. I will book this room. Parking spot right in front office. The owners were very good folks

We were looking for a place to sleep and shower. This place was wonderful. Quiet. The owners are very polite. It’s out of the way but close enough to town that you could be there in leas than 20 min. The prices are inexpensive and a great value for the price. No bugs or bed bugs. We slept great the two nights we stayed. I hope we can stay the next time we’re up that way!
