Reviews for Red Roof Inn Knoxville North - Merchants Drive
Review 1：The room 223 had major electrical issues, exposed wires, plugs didn't work and if you bumped the fridge the lamp went off. There was a day the beds were not made and we only had 2 towels the entire time with 5 people in the room. The breakfast was odd, only eggs and watery sausage for hot food. The oatmeal was microwaveable, but there was no microwave in the lobby. Also no way of measuring hot water. The exhaust fan in the bathroom sounded like a boat motor and it was connected to the light, so if the bathroom light was on, everyone in the room was awake.
Review 2：The beds were comfortable.
Review 3：The bathroom was out dated and dirty.
Review 4：The employees were very friendly and welcoming. The updated wood floors were nice. It was a very convenient location. Great hotel for the price. My dog stayed free.
Review 5：the only 'bad' was the walls in the bathroom near the top where the shower was could use a little help. some peeling of paint but really not bad enough to warrant getting a different room
Review 6：i was surprised that it was a wood flooring throughout the room. it was welcome! it was clean and just what you would expect. will stay again.
Review 7：Most of the hotel was dusty, dirty, and unkempt. The room looked new but the floors were obviously a subpar material as they creeked every few feet, every lamp had cobwebs. The bathroom advertised was small, however the size was not the issue, the tub and tiles had mildew throughout, the towels were all very old and rough and the shower curtain smelled like they had pulled it out of the garbage. I ended up paying for what could have been an awesome stay at a nice hotel, for a subpar stay at a crumby hotel.
Review 8：I was close enough to the center of the city and plenty of places to eat and have fun.
Review 9：Bed spread was dirty. Bathroom mirror, counter, and tub was not cleaned very well. Room looked nice but they are not keeping up with the rooms, paint was peeling on walls. Need to expand renovation to the tub and toilet area. Tub tiles were popping off and tub was stained. Rest of room looked like it went thru renovation in last year.
Review 10：The shower wasn't as clean as I would have liked. We had booked a nonsmoking room, but when we walked into the room it had a heavy odor of smoke
Review 11：Location was good, it was very close to the stadium.
Review 12：renovation not complete in bathroom. The tub was old and rusty.
Review 13：Renovated rooms nice. I liked the wood like floors, coffee maker ,fridge was actually cold .plus microwave. Many places to eat close by.
Review 14：Breakfast ends to early!!6:30am 9:30am... No ventilation in the bathrooms there's surface mold on the tiles...
Review 15：Spacious,clean and convenient to other locations such as food bars 5 miles from downtown
Review 16：Had to change rooms, tub was disgusting. Staff kept rushing us out. Couldn't find my reservation even after showed conformation number
Review 17：The location, the bed was comfortable, close to food & gas station
Review 18：Black mold in shower. Filth behind bathroom door. White markings on new bathroom vanity that came off when I tried but no one had cleaned it off. My husband refused to eat the breakfast.
Review 19：Plenty of hot water.
Review 20：Bath and tub were old and moldy. Hotel accepts pets and room had a lingering odor. Owner had charged the card for whole stay before we arrived though i wanted to usea different payment.
Review 21：Convenient to highway and spacious rooms
Review 22：Our air unit made the most horrible noise you couldn't sleep with it on. Also they require 50$ deposit if you pay with cash, I didn't care much for that.
Review 23：The staff was friendly.
Review 24：Everything was good. If anything bad maybe not having an extra roll of toilet paper in the room. But I understand its probably so people wont steal it and most aren't there for more than one day.
Review 25：The bed was soft. Great warm shower. Good house keeping. Friendly front desk. Great location beside many restaurants. Not a bad free breakfast either!
Review 26：Only problem was hotel was very overbooked and there where people up all hours of the night.
Review 27：Room was nice hard for seemed very clean. Breakfast was good. Need to get there early. Hardwood floors better than the carpet at most hotels...
Review 28：What I didn't like was the morning noise; at 6:30 am garbage trucks for the restaurants next door. And the slamming of doors, etc. as guests arrived or left.
Review 29：location- ease to get to various area meetings price- since I own my business, travel expenses come from my pocket. Comfort- the beds were comfortable and I enjoyed a good nights sleep both nights.
Review 30：Not much. Way over priced. Hot water did not work well. Room was not very clean. Ice machine didn't work. The man behind the desk at both interactions was lovely
Review 31：Room was not very clean on check-in and was not cleaned while we were there. No soap or other normal hotel supplies, just a few towels. Came back to the room after being out all the next day and nothing had been touched, beds not made, trash not emptied. Would not stay here again. Have stayed in several Red Roof Inns and this one is nothing like the others. Terrible.
Review 32：Location was good.
Review 33：The first room smelled like smoke, I asked for non-smoking. And, the shower was disgustingly dirty. Nothing was clean. They switched our room after saying something. The second room was better. Looked to be newly renovated as the hotel website stated, but still not worth the money since they jacked up their rates due to the football game. I would definitely not stay here again. This review says 3.3 but it wasn't even that good.
Review 34：There was not much that I did like. Only that they did switch our rooms after the first was a disaster.
Review 35：Everything. My room was awful. The bed was hard, dirt was on the floor,the bathroom looked like it hadn't seen bleach in years. There was atile missing and there were big black bugs crawling near my bags. ....Sodisgusting. But I had drill for the Army the next day, and I didn'tget there till 11, so I had to deal. I will never, ever go again for adrill weekend, though. I was shocked I didn't get bed bugs.
Review 36：Not enough towels or toilet paper in room. Phone didn't work and remote batteries were dead. Front desk staff was nice and gave us what we needed though.
Review 37：Good price, included fridge, microwave, pool, and breakfast.
Review 38：The size of the bed wasnt as advertised.
Review 39：Would of liked the pool to open sooner in the morning before checkout as my kids wanted to swim before we had to leave.
Review 40：Great location for goin or coming from Smokies or Atlanta Real Wood smoked BBQ across street at Full Service BBQ Easy on/off I75 either direction
Review 41：The hole in the wall at the towel rack in the bathroom. Black stuff on the wall..not sure if it was mildew or what it was. No microwave, bed was hard. My back and my daughters was hurting by morning.
Review 42：The location, nice new flooring and bedding. Nice flat screen tv.
Review 43：Dirty - bed stains - tiles missing in bathroom - burn marks on tub -bad electrical wiring on air conditioner (fire hazard) - dirty floors -ice machine broken - damaged and falling apart dirty furniture - alarmclock broken
Review 44：We liked that we made it out alive!
Review 45：The mattress was too soft. I just sunk into the bed but since I was really tired I fell asleep but like a firmer mattress. The breakfast was awful. The waffle machine needs to be replaced, no yogurt or boiled eggs, no meat. But for the price it did not matter www.booking.com
Review 46：The room was new. Not smelly like some of the older hotel rooms in the area. Close to shopping and plenty of places to eat.
Review 47：The entire property smelled like people use it as a toilet. Between the cigarette and urine smells, it is hard to think the place is actually clean.
Review 48：The beds were fine, the laminate wood floor seemed clean, and the shower had good water pressure and heat.
Review 49：Nonsmoking room smelled of stale smoke. Other hotel guests were the main issue, I think some live there and treated the courtyard as their own personal backyard, loud late into the night. Pitiful breakfast.
Review 50：Location. Front desk helpful. Mostly clean. Ok for the price.
Review 51：Nothing negative about this location!
Review 52：Room was spacious, clean and appealing. Staff and price were also great !! Had a nice stay and was pleasantly surprised with everything!
Review 53：The room did not have a blow dryer and they did not have any I could use. The room also did not have a trash container and we had to get one from the front desk!
Review 54：I liked the bed
Review 55：Never stayed because of bad cell on the road making reservation. It just reserved a room after my inquiry without my permission. Got charged.
Review 56：Nothing! Was not there.
Review 57：The price was the best part about my experience. The online pictures and info was very misleading. I thought I was booking the Red Roof with the indoor pool. The room could have been nicer.
Review 58：the location was close to why I was in the area. The state swimming meet.
Review 59：Cockroaches crawling on walls,on floor and in the sheets,beetles in curtains,blood in sheets,mold on walls.Toliet seat broken etc
Review 60：I like nothing about this place..It is a nightmare
Review 61：The tub had burns on the edge of it, one of the bed spreads had 2 burn holes in it. The lamp shade was torn up. I would think they could purchase a new bed spread and lamp shade. Room 248 needs attention. I may not use a Red Roof In again.
Review 62：Staff was very nice
Review 63：Immediately knew it did not meet the red roof standard. I understand it was just purchased and being remodeled. The internet presented it in far better appearance. No coffee maker - no refrigerator. TV remote did not work and no extra. The first room was presented as non smoking but reeked of smoke. I was given a non smoking room.
Review 64：Staff was very helpful.
