"Came for UT orientation. Easy access off Hwy 35 and straight shot to campus. Staff were amazing. Breakfast was good. Room was cleaned and property was well maintained. Only down fall the bed was a little too firm for my taste. But that is my opinion. Will stay here again to visit."

"Elevators take way too long to use. Why is the breakfast so much in the morning for fake eggs? Why don't they accept cash at the hotel? Why isn't there an option to not use the tablet for the switches?"
