You may find the "5 Star" rating a bit over-stated, Justin. We stayed there last April and it was just your usual Days Inn as far as I could tell, except that the rear units are used by extended-stay residents, and that does tend to add a certain "well lived in" atmosphere to the place, if you know what I mean. We picked it becasue we wanted to be within walking distance of a Shoney's, but the location (being near an airport) leaves a lot to be desired in terms of ambience, as you can imagine. (Major multi-lane highway with continuous heavy traffic roaring by out front, commercial jets roaring overhead, no appealing areas for walking, and in fact not even a sidewalk between the motel and the nearest restaurant)
What I do remember was that when I mentioned I was coming back in June to attend the Hoot, the manager strongly advised me to avoid staying in or walking the streets of Knoxville, saying it was crime-ridden and very dangerous. Could have been just a negative sales pitch to encourage people to patronize her motel, but I got the impression she really believed it and that her view reflects that of people who don't actually live in a place but get an overly negative opinion of it from the scary news coverage they see every evening on the tube.
Still, as run-of-the-mill chain motels go, it was okay. And the rooms have big wide windows through which you can admire your bike parked right outside by your door. (Unfortunatley those windows do not open to allow any real air to come in, so you have to contend with nothing but the AC, which in most motels can make for an uncomfortably dry atmosphere and not the best night's sleep.)
More than you wanted to know, I'm sure, but it's a slow morning here.
