Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Jesse, Crossville

Liked: customer service good at registery and guys at valet
Disliked: The bathtub in the room was very slippery and felt dangerous - we think a no slip mat would have helped. We could not take a shower.

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Alex, Buford, visiting UTC McKenzie Arena

At $145/per night, breakfast and parking should be included.

Liked: Beautiful hotel. Excellent, pretty location. Extra plus for the Starbucks in the lobby area!
Disliked: No complimentary breakfast which is normally served as part of your stay at other hotels. Valet to park at the hotel was $15 per night extra. Never heard of that.

Liked: Lovely hotel and would stay here again. Beautiful lobby. Reception good. Lobby bar very nice and efficient. I had nice big room with very nice fittings and 2 large queen beds. I parked across the road in EPB parking which was cheaper and easy to park and i felt safe and saw security doing patrols. Can highly recommend the incline railway and civil war park monument at the top with amazing views.
Disliked: Was all good.

Great for our group!

Liked: The history, beauty, location, and the comfy beds!!
Disliked: The valet was crazy checking out in the morning! I understand you have a lot of people leaving at the same time but I waited almost 20 minutes. Luckily brunch reservations were only three minutes away. The workers were very nice though.
