Drury Inn & Suites Knoxville West

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was outstanding! Happy hour was added bonus with food! Staff was super friendly and attentive. Only issue we had was we found a huge roach in the bathroom floor corner one morning maybe came out of the shower drain, but the housekeeper came and cleaned it up immediately. Will stay here again for sure!"
