What guests think

At Days Inn by Wyndham Knoxville East, guests describe a budget, highway-side motel with very mixed cleanliness and comfort, frequent reports of roaches, and heavy traffic noise, alongside occasional mentions of friendly staff and satisfactory, simple rooms.

Breakfast is typically minimal and prepackaged, and deposits or check-in issues frustrate some travelers. Facilities are basic with exterior entries, no elevators, a pool that is sometimes closed, and well-lit parking. Expect a low-cost stopover with significant trade-offs.

The facility served the purpose of a place to stay. Nothing was at or above expectations. We never took our shoes off because the floor was dirty. We stayed because it was late and we were tired. We had no indication in the description of the facility that there was not an elevator.

Pros: Easy access to highway with plenty of parking. Gas station across the street. Lobby dated but nice. Limited staff pleasant. Room was clean and newly painted with nice flooring. Comfortable beds. Good AC and TV. Cons: Isolated. Vending machines didn’t work. Pool was closed. Furniture worn out, missing arm on chair. Sink wouldn’t drain, toilet seat not attached, no tub stopper to give grandson a bath.

Nice pool. We enjoyed it. It was very close to our room. We could have used more towels and some shampoo. Noticed a couple of spots on the bed clothes, and some floor dirt. Wish Days Inn could add some yogurt to the breakfast. There was only breakfast bars and muffins. The coffee was good.

Parking area was safe and well lit. Unfortunately upon checking found a cockroach and another unknown bug in the bathroom. Grabbed both alive with some toilet paper and flushed them. Facility is very worn, but otherwise clean and functioning.

The entire parking lot and building was well-lit, providing a feeling of safety. The lobby was clean and spacious, and updated. Front desk staff were engaging and personable, and check-in took less than 5 minutes. My room looked clean, although the HVAC system was off, so it was a bit muggy. It didn't take long for the system to cool the room quite nicely. As I unpacked for our 4-day stay, I noticed the low vanity counter. It was more barstool height than counter height, which was awkward putting in contacts, brushing my teeth and washing my face. The mini-fridge and microwave were very useful and worked great! The desk area had ample charging options, and there was even a portable desk/table underneath that could be moved about the room. Lighting was bright over the vanity and in the bathroom, and the water pressure was amazing. However, the curtain rod was tilted downward, and the curtain kept sliding toward the center, causing water to spray out the front and back. There also wasn't an exhaust fan, which made the room rather steamy. Several caulking and seal areas looked dingy or cracked. Insulation between the rooms was fantastic, but the door and window need better insulation. Noise from the highway and voices in the parking lot could easily be heard from inside. Other than that, the beds were comfortable, and the window curtain blocked most of the light. All in all, an okay stay at a cost-saving price.

If I could give this hotel zero stars I would! First off, we arrive to our room, I turned on the AC and it didn’t work. I called down to room service to let them know about the situation. We waiting for roughly 20 minutes for someone to arrive to fix it but no one came. During this 20 minutes we had bugs crawling out of the AC unit itself. So, I went down to customer service requesting that we get a new room. The man that checked us in told me that there were no rooms available, but as I was walking down from the third floor because there are NO ELEVATORS, I counted how many rooms were available at 9 pm. And there were over 15. I then told him I wanted my money back and we would be leaving. Somehow a room became available. We get to the new room. There were bugs on the ceiling and walls. The breakfast was all prepackaged muffins, granola bars, and cheese crackers. NO ACTUAL FOOD! They also had one single garbage can for the whole room. If you request a queen size bed, you will be getting a Full bed for the price of a Queen. The pool was also closed. The hotel rooms are also out of code due to the outlet situation for the AC.

Got there the dude at the counter and the dude couldn’t understand me. There’s a deposit that was not previously stated and it takes a week to get it back. Got into the room and the was a hole in the shower wall. The showerhead was falling off and the ceiling had obvious signs of water damage. Killed a bug right before we went to bed… unsure what it was at the time. Extremely noisy outside until well after midnight. Woke up feeling itchy and with dog hair on my pjs (I’m allergic and don’t have a dog). The free breakfast was cereal and that it. Went to get my stuff to leave and found roaches and roach eggs. Showed the manager he said he would refund the stay. Expedia called them and they lied and said we agreed to a new room. Didn’t stay the second night there went to another hotel. Oh… and no pool it was closed.

Gross hotel! The floor had blood droplets in the bathroom area and hair all over the bathroom floor, toilet, and tub. The tub had black foot marks in it. The shampoo bottle was half full, the phone didn’t work and was so dirty I had to clean it before using it. The sheets had stains on them and I wasn’t sure if they had been changed out. The iron and blowdryer is very out dated. I didn’t see any bedbugs, thankfully, but I won’t stay there again. If you stay bring your own sheet, cleaning supplies, iron and blow dryer.

The rooms were really nice for the price. I didn't see any evidence of anything unsavory happening. I didn't hear any sound from the other rooms but there was basically no sound insulation between the rooms and the parking lot, maybe it was the door or the single pane window but it sounded just as loud as if I had left the window open. We slept with the fan on and that helped.

This place was absolutely atrocious! My employees had trash in the rooms from the moment they got there. When I called the front desk to complain, they asked if the guys had notified them when it happened. I told them no, they did not because they had worked an 18 hour day and they were exhausted and all they wanted to do was go to sleep. The front desk lady hung up on me. The customer service was almost as atrocious as the rooms. I have pictures. I would not recommend someone stay at this hotel room for even one dollar.

We arrived around 3:00am to check in after completing the online check in process, and we still had to give a separate card on file and Ids a second time. We were then given a key to a room that was already occupied and there was a man sleeping in the bed. It was traumatizing. The front desk lady just kept repeating that there shouldn’t be a man in the room and eventually issued us a new key for an unoccupied room. The room was fine, but we could hear snoring through the walls from a different room. You can’t use the bathroom or shower if others are sleeping as the fan, toilet and shower are all extremely loud. Overall we were just staying for 5 hours to sleep and would not do it again.

The room was okay. Comfortable and quiet. The area was a little sketchy, I checked out before sunrise to hit the road and used the convenience store across the street for gas and was being asked for money by someone walking along the highway at 4:30 am. But I'd stay there again, it was very economical and for the price, good enough.

I don't require much. Clean and comfortable. The room was clean with Laminate flooring instead of gross carpet. The AC system worked great and was quiet. Now the bad. The threshold was so beaten down there was a 1" gap under the door for the noise of the nearby freeway to get in. I put the chair cushion in front of it. The water from the shower leaks out all over the floor with only a thin mat to soak it up. The "breakfast" was two kinds of cereal and some granola bars. But worst was the front desk clerk. When I checked in I said a cheery "good evening" He replied "Its evening"

Bathroom floor was dirty and ithe place is old but it was what we needed for a few days so we'll possibly stay there again. The staff at the front desk seemed friendly and check in and check out was easy. They texted to give us the wifi password so that part was super easy. The pool was small but people seemed to enjoy it. The room noise was a lot of interstate sound be sure it backs up to the interstate but it didn't bother us as much as it might some. Easy access to the interstate so that's always good. It's close to a lot of stuff on that side of Knoxville and we drove to Bristol in about an hour and a half so not a bad drive!
