We"ve stayed at this hotel for years. I just wish they had a incentive program for returning guest during UT football season. The rate goes up so so high we cant afford it on a retirement budget. We are taking our grandson to a game this weekend and cant afford to stay there. Makes me sad because I love the hotel and the staff is wonderful.

One-time blip?
I've stayed here several times, but this last time was disappointing. The service was great, as usual, but the room, not so much. We had a nice room facing Market Square. Unfortunately, the noise level from the street was unbearable. We got, at most, a few hours of sleep. It was an endless parade of cars and motorcycles revving their engines loudly, police and fire truck sirens, and loud music. Mind you, we were on the 7th floor with all of the windows closed, and it sounded like the cars were in our actual room. The cherry on the sundae was the AC in the room - it was feast or famine. The room itself was humid, and the temp was either freezing or muggy, but never comfortable. I've never experienced anything like this at this property, so I'll give the benefit of the doubt and hope that it was just a one-time thing. Nonetheless, I'll request a room on the opposite side of the building next time to hopefully avoid the street noise.

Hotel and location are fabulous. Getting in the hotel is a nightmare no more than 2 cars can really be in the drive. Entering and exiting the parking garage is terrible and has been fogging on for over 2 years and doesn’t appear close to completion
