What guests think

At Quality Inn Clinton-Knoxville North, travelers often find clean, comfortable rooms at a good price with easy access to I-75 and nearby dining, though the older property shows wear and some operational shortcomings.

Guests frequently praise friendly, helpful staff, though some report slow or inconsistent check-in and limited ability to resolve issues when a manager is absent. Common drawbacks include no elevator for the two-story layout, occasional HVAC or water-pressure issues, and strong deodorizer or chemical smells in some areas. Some found the entrance hard to spot and a few felt uneasy in the adjacent area at night. Overall, expect a simple, budget-minded stopover focused on basic comfort and cleanliness.

The Room, Staff and building itself is clean and taken care of. However the building sits back behind other buildings making it difficult to see. Local restaurants, roads and attractions are poor at best. The driveway and parking are subpar. My room was very clean and nice.

Rooms were nicely updated compared to the age of the property. The lobby and halls had an overwhelming amount of an air freshener of some sort. If that was in the room also we would have needed to leave due to the allergic reaction triggered in my wife. The property has no elevator so if you have trouble with stairs be sure to request first floor.

You should be given the option of first or second floor since there isn’t an elevator.

It appeared the check in girl had no real interest in having any guests. Felt unwelcome the minute we walked in. You would think at least she would have the courtesy to mention the swimming pool was not open on this 90 degree day before she confirmed our stay.

The property was adequate for our one night need. Edges of everything is dirty. Laundry running early morning wakes up all connecting and above rooms. Breakfast is very limited but sufficient. Coffee is pretty much instant coffee. Pool not yet open- think that should be noted before a booking.

No Elevator to haul your stuff up, ice machine broken, pop machine inop. Bathroom lock was broken, their fix was to just remove it. Water pressure disappears in the middle of a shower. No manager on site so front desk is unable to help with anything.

Convenient location for Biltmore. Newer furnishings and comfortable beds. Motor Lodge style with rooms accessible from exterior walkways - no elevator with exterior stairs make moving luggage a chore. Street noise audible even with AC fan running.

The floor in room was not clean. It was sticky. The key to room did not work half of time. There was an obnoxious smell that gave me a headache and my husband hard to breath. Will never stay there again after having stayed there several times before with no problem.

The room was good for the price. Not the cleanest. Stains on sheets, hair in the refrigerator, dirt around edges of the floor… especially in the bathroom. The staff was nice, the beds and pillows were comfortable, room was affordable in comparison to others in the area.

We had to do some unexpected travel this past weekend and chose this location based on reviews. I travel often for business and this is how I mainly choose hotels. Overpaid for this room. Room was dirty, vacuum had not been run in some time, bed skirt had lot of hairs, piece of hard candy behind the bed, and saw a bug scurry under a wall hanging. Very limited parking. Will not stay at this location again.

Well, thay always say you get what you pay for. In this instance they were right. Room was musty, couch in room was cheap and I had an wash cloth from previous occupants hanging on the shower curtain rod. If you want a cheap place just to flop for the night. This is the place.

We were in town for a travel softball tournament and ended up canceling an existing reservation for another hotel due to it being very outdated, dirty, and just feeling unsafe. This was the place we chose, and we could not have been anymore pleased with the room. It was clean and exactly what we needed for a quick overnight trip.

1st room they put us in had not been cleaned as there were clumps of hair stuck to the shower walls and the outer door would not close very easily. They gave us a different room, it seemed clean, but this hotel not worth the price.

Great stay for the price. We only needed overnight stay so didn't take advantage of any amenities but was still pleased. Very clean. I would have given a 5 but it took our room a very long time to cool down. Had to turn the air down to 60 to get it down to a comfortable 70. Great area. Lots of shopping and dining options and a great downtown close by.

We were on the second floor and there isn’t an elevator. When we got to our room no fan on or a/c, it took until 1 am to get the room cool. If we weren’t so tired from a long day of traveling we would have left. Bed was comfortable and room was clean.

Worst hotel experience ever. Returned from dinner with no desk clerk on premise. Also, our car was only car in the lot. Sign on checkin desk said call this phone number for attendant. We were the only two people in a two story motel with 100 vacant rooms. We did not feel safe and packed our bags and left.

Only bread slices, no bagels, or muffins. Yogurt but no fruit. Premade egg patties and sausage looked unappetizing. We often stay in this area, would consider booking this hotel again.
