La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville Airport
"I stayed in room 106 which had a completely broken mattress. When I mentioned this at the front desk they said a new mattress was on order. So why in the heck would you continue using a room knowing it has a ruined mattress???? I’m a very frequent guest at this la Quinta and was not happy."
