Southwestern Hills
"The house is lovely for a weekend of meditation or connecting with nature, but I wouldn't recommend it for very outgoing families, as the local community is very sensitive about music. I actually felt stressed by the surrounding environment; in my view, renting a house implies having more freedom to have fun, but that wasn't the case here. Next time, I’d choose a hotel instead—I’d have a better time and save money, too."

"There are no pet friendly hotels in Knoxville so we were very happy to find this pretty house for our stay when back for a family funeral. Pros: ample parking, good location, very clean, large space, nice kitchen, large yard, DISH TV, pet friendly, rapid response from owner, sleeps multiple people Cons: sleeps multiple people but only 1 key provided, couches don’t face TV, 2 BRs have no doors so there is privacy only for people in upstairs BR, outlet in basement bath not working "

"This hotel is our favorite when visiting Ames. The location is ideal. The staff is friendly and always been helpful. The rooms are modern and clean. The restaurant and bar are very convenient if you don't want to leave the property to seek out food/drinks. We have not used the amenities such as weight room, pool, etc. so I can't speak to that."
