Hampton Inn & Suites Knoxville-Downtown

8/10 Good

"I was prepared for my room to be cleaned (trash emptied/towels changed) every other day, but I had to ask for it to be cleaned after being at the hotel for four days. The automatic shades in the room worked, but not smoothly. Everything else was fine."
