The Airplane filling station such a unique place to stay. We were in town to bring our daughter to college in Knoxville and didn’t want to stay at a hotel. This place for the bill exactly. The place was clean, close to area stores and restaurants and even though it sits right off of a 4 lane highway, the road noise is minimal. We would definitely recommend this location for anyone visiting the Knoxville/Powell area.
