Fair to poor is the right name for Fairfield
If you like noise from the highway and really bright light in the morning this is your spot. Staff did not want to handle a check in issue and it was handled poorly enough that I also do not want to use Expedia anymore.

Easy off and then easy on I 75 the next morning. Breakfast had a very good choice of items to eat. I would stay there again when I go to Knoxville.

This was a great choice to break our road trip! All aspects were just what one needs—friendly, capable staff, hot water and coffee, protein for breakfast, clean rooms and well-tended common spaces.
We did notice a tendency for a vagrants in the area to try to slide past desk staff, but staff firmly and respectfully sent them back out.

Everything was great minus an elevator being out which we heard from other guests it had been out for a week before workers showed up to fix it...it was very awkward and inconvenient to be sharing the lone elevator with the busy cleaning staff who had no issue crowding you in while you are trying to load luggage

I loved the friendly staff and breakfast! The hotel room was almost perfect. The only issues I had was the shower head dripped the all night and the plastic strip at the bottom of the shower door and around the caulking was moldy and dirty. All else was excellent.
