I stayed at this site for the Xul Kill the Lights Beer Festival - and it was a fantastic spot! Very walkable to everything you’d ever want to walk to in Knoxville. Farmers market just across the street on Saturday. Great room and location!

Fix your beds
We had a great experience but taken shortcuts like not rotating the beds and there’s actually dips in the beds. Does not make sure establishment. I recommended establishment as you know is the most important thing to help and when you have a mattress does not make for a happy customer.
