Comfort Inn & Suites Knoxville West
Old & outdated smells of mildew & mold growing in bathroom

Hampton Inn & Suites Knoxville Papermill Drive
Went to get in the pool and discovered someone had pooped in the pool. Hotel staff was not reactive and didn’t offer anything of substance to offset the disgusting situation because I booked through Expedia. Expedia offered only $50 for the almost $200 room. HIGHLY DISSATISFIED.

Courtyard by Marriott Knoxville West/Bearden
The place seemed clean and modern, beds were comfortable, room was spacious. I liked that the TV pulled out and pivoted. There’s a mini fridge and a microwave that was convenient. I liked the location, safe and restaurants nearby within walking distance.
