Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Cookeville, TN

10/10 Excellent

"clean room and good location, staff was friendly and helpful"

Motel 6 Cookeville, TN

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super friendly, bed was comfortable. AC worked well. I was pleasantly surprised to see a microwave and mini fridge. Room was very quiet. Had a great night rest after traveling all day. Not the most kept up motel 6 I have stayed at, could have used some fresh paint here and there. A USB outlet would have been nice. I didn't have a wall charger with me, but I would definitely stay here again."

Red Roof Inn Cookeville - Tennessee Tech

8/10 Good

"I booked this motel because it was pet friendly and had EV charging nearby. When I travel I'm looking for a good bed and hot shower. Someplace that makes me feel like my pet is welcome. This place is just that. The proximity to tons of restaurants and food shopping was a big plus as well!!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cookeville

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I felt safe, and the area is quiet, considering the activity in the area. We were driving a 34 ft long RV and there was plenty of room to park without backing up. Easy access in and out. Easy access off the interstate, if you are driving east just exit the interstate, turn right and its right down the block. There are plenty of restaurants off this 287 exit."

"The breakfast was great and the attendant was awesome. So friendly and kept the area very clean. Our room was ok but the wall was being repaired. I would have held off renting until it was finished.
