The reason I am giving a 5 start because this is an older property and for what it is it is in good shape. Rooms are clean and basic and what I would expect for this property. Place smells a little swampy but seems to be pretty common anywhere there is humidity.

My husband and I had a very pleasant stay while we were there. We had a queen size bed non-smoking room. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and courteous. I told them that we had a funeral to attend in Knoxville at 4:00 p.m., so they had our room ready as soon as we arrived at about 2:30. I really thought that was very nice of them so that way we had time to get dressed for the funeral and make it on time! I had no issues whatsoever with anything, and I would definitely stay there again! Thank you so much for your hospitality!!

This is a large older motor lodge. The location is perfect and on a 24/7 busy highway. Our room was spacious and very clean. There were a few minor imperfections but we had a TV, fridge and the things we needed. What makes this place is the staff. They are warm and welcoming. The price was the best in town for a football weekend too!

We lived here for almost a year while still trying to get on our feet, and it was (aside from the price that is cheap for a typical motel but still very scientific) nice. I had my privacy and cleaned my own room nobody bothered me and I never had any problems. It was not fancy whatsoever but a pleasant stay.

Imn of Lenoir has other local competition beat with their low prices and vacany. Anytime I have visited this motel- regardless of the occasion- the staff have always been friendly and courteous. The rooms offer a range of amenities such as a large flat screen TV, basic cable, mini fridge, microwave & free wifi internet for guests.

This is an older Inn. The service was great. The rooms are updated and very clean. While there, we needed a paper printed. I was having computer problems. The gentleman on the desk went out of his way to help. I could not have asked for better. The paper was printed, and all went well.
