We love this place!
We stayed here because we had no electricity or water at our home in Roan Mountain. But I will say that this has not been our first stay at Travelers Inn. We stay here a lot and we love it! Front desk people and housekeeping are so wonderful extremely Pleasant and helpful. The rooms are clean but they are dated but you can't beat the price!

They are remodeling the hotel. The room was quite large, a little out-dated - BUT - was very clean! They are working very hard to remodel, and there was quite a lot of activity in this area. The room itself had all amenities - mini fridge, microwave, TV, easy access to ice machine and coin-operated washers and dryers. I would definitely stay there again.

Everything was great with the exception of the pool.I know they close the pool for the winter but there was no cover on it and it was halfway filled with green water. I wonder if they even open it for the summer? But we had a great stay and staff was wonderful!

Noone was at the check-in or checkout desk. They couldn't find my reservation. The room and Jacuzzi was nice and clean but the people were never there. It's like they don't have employees.

The room I was given stated nonsmoking room on the door. There was cigarette burns on the nasty carpet and an ashtray on the dresser.
The owners attempted to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke with room deodorizer which made the stench even worse.
Hotel staff was friendly, hotel was quiet.
In the future, I will drive the extra distance to saty at a hotel in Johnson City.

It was conveniently located. Room was very dated, dark, carpet was very dirty. No one came in to empty trash, make bed, clean towels for three days. No fan in bathroom, mold and mildew on walls. Holes in curtains. But quick to take a damage deposit.

The staff was absolutely amazing! They called before check out to ask if we would like to book another night. No other hotel we have ever stayed at has EVER been so courteous, especially during a time when so many people are looking for a place to stay due to the recent Northeast Tennessee Flooding. We greatly appreciate their hospitality. The room was surprisingly big, and had a wonderful layout. Some modern/cosmetic upgrades, and it could be such a beautiful place. Our only concern was the cleanliness of the room. You could clearly see that it had not been cleaned very well, and it would have been nice if they had of used bleach on the linens & towels so they would smell better. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay, and the bed was more comfortable than most other hotels we have stayed at. We would definitely consider staying there again in the future. We thank the Travelers Inn for their kindness.

Welcome to the 70’s rooms
The pictures on the website did not match the rooms. I ordered 3 rooms. The front desk clerk would not look me in the eye and appeared fidgety. The ice machine was broken and breakfast was not served at 6 like the website says. The door remained locked. Was told it was at 7 am. This was on a Sunday morning at 6:15. All of the rooms were as follows: It was decorated in the 70’s which is cool. Looked as if the paint inside the rooms were good. Newer windows and on the exterior around the windows, the tape hadn’t been removed all the way. The beds were clean and comfortable. Bathtub was dirty and with hair. Has a musky smell. No bedbugs. My room did not have an extra bolt but the other 2 did. One of the rooms had the refrigerator on the floor with the carpet cut out in the shape of the refrigerator and you can see the floor was wet and rotted. The people that was hanging around appeared shady.
