La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville Papermill

Things started off shaky with this location right at check-in. Like most (all?) La Quinta locations, they charge a $25 pet fee. However, this location presents guests with a form at check-in stating that while the fee is $25, it could go "up to $75."
