Beautiful rooms

One of the best rooms I’ve had in Knoxville. Convenient location. Rooms were quiet. Comfortable beds. Staff/service were average. Weren’t rude, just not friendly or welcoming per se.

One of my favorite little hotels I’ve stayed in! I loved the French vibe and all the luxurious details for the cost of staying! Great linens, towels, robe and beautiful historic property. 10/10 for me.

6/10 Good

The person next door got on a conference call before 8 am and might as well have been sitting in our room. Unfortunately breakfast did not start until 10 am. Room was charming, staff were very pleasant but the would not necessarily stay there again,
