2-Star Hotels in Knox County

Not sure why this motel has only three reviews and they are all 1's. Not a bad motel at all but dated. Pretty good value in our opinion. We’re been in Knoxville a number of times recently to help a relative rehab an old house and for most of those times have stayed at the Quality Inn at the Strawberry Plains exit off I-40. It’s clean and comfortable, and the price is reasonable. Front desk workers are friendly and helpful. A placard in the bathroom states “let’s work together to conserve water and energy resources.” It goes on to say that towels and sheets will be changed every three days unless requested sooner. Most motels tell you to hang up towels, and they won’t be changed; here, it flat out said they would not be changed. Guess what??? They were! We are happy to reuse towels and always dismayed to find that the stated policy has not been followed. I wish someone from management or corporate headquarters would explain this to me! Except for this (and to us, it’s a pretty big deal!), this motel always serves our needs, and we have no reservations about returning in the future.

Best hotel loved the room Will definitely stay again

I think the hotel has aged very well. I asked my counterpart traveling with me and he thought - ehhh - it's a Fairfield. But I think it's still nice - even years later. Sure, wallpaper is falling off, walls are marked - but just the color palate is happy and it's very clean. And unlike what seems like the rest of the Fairfields, their breakfast is back to normal. Two issues - one - road noise - need to remember to ask (at any Knoxville hotel) to not face the freeway. Usually my status automatically gets that. Two - a car alarm went off for like 15 mins - but not sure what they could do to stop that - but then with the road noise I couldn't sleep. It's a winner of a hotel for sure.

Everything was great.

We've stayed here before. Our first visit wasn't the greatest but the location was convenient so we gave it another try. There were remodeling improvements in the overall room decor and buffet so the appearance was much improved since our last stay. The buffet area is small. I appreciated the staff member who kept the tables cleaned up and the buffet tidy. She was on the job, friendly, and checked if we needed anything. The location of the buffet is basically in the reception area with foot traffic going back and forth. If you are unfortunate enough to get a table next to the foot traffic, you have to deal with a draft from the front door. The food fare was standard. I'm gluten free so there were limited options. The room looked okay but the inside of the fridge wasn't clean, there were dried ring marks from someone's beverage still on the bed side table and there was a shampoo dispenser in the shower that was essentially empty. These little things make me question how well the room was cleaned. It took a while for the room to warm up and the bed covers were more appropriate for a summer than for a winter stay. There were no extra blankets or towels. We usually have no problems with the check in process and you don't realize how friendly staff is until they are not. The receptionist was almost sullen, and definitely not friendly. We were not greeted, not recognized as reward members, and barely acknowledged. She did not inform us as to our room number, breakfast hours, nor direct us to the location of the elevators which is typical reception protocol. The check out receptionist was just the opposite i.e. very friendly. Would I recommend staying here? I guess I could say it's ”clean enough” but not up to Holiday Inn Express standards.

Hotel is conveniently located just off the interstate near a number of restaurants (mostly fast food but there is a Cracker Barrel restaurant). Large rooms, good sized TV with free Showtime, hot shower with good water pressure, form mattress. Continental breakfast is pitiful though…instant oatmeal, kids’ cereals, packaged muffins, fruit, frozen breakfast sandwiches, protein bars, nothing hot. Friendly staff, clean hotel.

With over 1160 Marriott nights and Lifetime Platinum Status, it’s safe to say we’ve been in a number of TownePlace’s as we twice a year cross the country by car. And this is the one you don’t want to miss! It begins with AGM Ryan on the Front Desk. He was a saint as we had to several times move our reservation around because of weather, etc. He did it with good cheer, too, treating us like Bonvoy VIPs which was so appreciated. We enjoyed a spacious 2-Bedroom (Queens)/1-Bath suite that is configured slightly different from the usual TP’s, which was nice as it gave it a much more “homey” feel and had the bathroom farther away from the bedrooms for those early-risers making shower noise. Windows open and are screened. All the dishes and utensils are here — and spotless. Housekeepers seemed to be everywhere to cater to your needs. The fitness room even had plenty of towels, free weights along with the usual machines and a scale Breakfast has plenty choose from: scrambled eggs, waffles, bagels, muffins, yogurt, individual milk cartons including fat-free, apples/bananas. Parking is plentiful and well-lighted. Thanks again, Ryan, you’re the best. And GM Jennifer, you run a really good show here!
