Go vols
I came to stay the day after a big game, so maybe that is why, but a good portion of the fabrics (bed frame and chairs) were stained and gross. There was no shower curtain liner and minimal towels.
The location is great and the theme decor is great, but cleanliness suffered on this stay.

Quaint, beautiful college hotel.
Great hotel and location for anyone visiting the university. Very friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee in the lobby would have been nice, but the room are beautiful and the hotel is in great condition.

Pleased
Only bad things i can say is they have instant coffee in the rooms and parking is limited so the logical thing is the 40 dollar valet......

Friendly staff- sloppy rooms
I am not a “hotel snob” but if I’m paying $300/night I expect the curtains to close and to have a basic coffee maker in my room. Got a suite for a one night stopover during a long road trip and the staff was super nice however the curtains did not even close (neither of the two windows in the suite, so the sun awakened us all at 0630. Perhaps worse yet, there was an electric tea kettle and coffee cups with creamer stir sticks and sugar but no coffee itself or hot tea at all. Just sloppy for a $300/night room.

Stay was fine. Hotel is in a great location for UT. Hallways and rooms were pretty clean but could be better. Registration staff was personable. Valet staff very personable. Valet pricing too high. We did not take advantage of food options this time, except lobby coffee, which was perfectly made to order.

Amazing location if you are visiting the University. Lobby is super cute and school spirit is everywhere! Rooms are cute but some of the furniture / bedding could use a refresh. Pillow case had holes in it. Bed platform upholstery was worn / dirty looking. Overall the rooms decor is very cute though. Staff is so friendly!

Go Vols
Had to be at the local hospital early. The hotel was the closest. What a great surprise!! Decent price and very comfortable room. The whole place is packed with awesome Vols decor. Can’t wait to be there during a game weekend.

The room was very nice, but the area was just ok. We had to Uber to the main area for dinner.
