Graduate Knoxville
4.3/599 Reviews
Very nice hotel, clean, bright and convenient, right on campus. Parking is $ 20, which is a bit expensive. UTK is much more beautiful than when I was studying, I like it. Cumberland Avenue in front of the hotel is wider and cleaner than before.
MainStay Suites Knoxville North I-75
3.7/595 Reviews
My wife and I stayed here one night, March 26/23, on our return home from Florida. This is very convienient for people travelling on I75, easy off and easy on!! The room was very spacious and had light housekeeping in room. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The on thing that was a little funny was the tiny TV. Not a problem for us as we were tired after 12hrs on the road. The price was VERY good in comparison to other nearby hotels. i.e. less than $100.00 all in. I would stay here again and will put on my list of good places to stay in future.
Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University
4.4/5103 Reviews
This was our best hotel stay in ages. We were checked in by Natalie, who was friendly, helpful, and just fun. She made sure to get us a quiet room and made sure we were clear on how to get to our evening's destination. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. The wifi took a bit of finagling to get connected, but once we got it connected, it stayed connected and worked well. We slept soundly and comfortably, waking up refreshed. Check out went smoothly. We'll return if possible.
Hilton Knoxville
4.2/5101 Reviews
Had a great experience at this Hilton! Stayed Aug 19th for a volleyball tournament. All the front desk staff were friendly and helpful! Bri, Josh, and John went above and beyond to make our visit wonderful! They were very accommodating to help our team watch their high school football team they were missing. They helped us get everything set up and were just overall awesome! This hotel will definitely be our first choice for future tournament stays!
The Tennessean Personal Luxury Hotel
4.6/5100 Reviews
This hotel has all the makings for a premier city hotel: location, being adjacent to the convention center, as well as downtown restaurants and more; the appearance is very nice, from the lobby to the room itself; and the staff shows that approach to service one looks for when traveling. All of this and more, and it sounds like we are headed for a nice quality stay: But not so fast…. The Good: The lobby is simply beautiful, with clean modern lines, but still giving that welcoming feel. The front desk help was simply amazing: Abbi and Abbey were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and prompt: Enjoyed my conversation with them, and the valuable information learned. And of course there’s Ed, an older “guest relations”type gentleman, who greets everyone with a complimentary glass of champagne; and somehow remembers the names of each and everyone he speaks too; remarkable. The rooms are modern and inviting; even the bathrooms have a nice upscale feel to them. So far, I’m overly impressed, especially in this price range…. But The Bad: Not a deal breaker, but when opting to pay more for a room with a view, we didn’t exactly get one from our 3rd floor room. A friend of ours booked a normal room, and ended up on the 5th floor with a view; and for much less money. Feels like paying for an upgrade is a waste of money. Also: Off n on during the night, emergency vehicles were blasting up n down Henley Street with the sirens blaring. I certainly understand being in the city, you’d expect this on a normal basis; but the walls of the hotel certainly showed their thinness. These sirens were very loud, and we weren’t even in a room facing Henley. This isn’t the fault of the hotel, but still worth noting. And then there’s the $28 fee for valet parking(no self parking). It just seems a bit much in my opinion. The valet guys do a nice job, so I’d rather tip them more, as to see the hotel charge this much. The Ugly: I hate to find anything that qualifies as a deal breaker, but… We returned from dinner, and couldn’t get the tv to tune in: I’m not sure why it said “no signal or connection”… No big deal, as we were worn out from all the youth basketball games we attended, but it would’ve been nice to at least watch a few mins of something. But the one major letdown I cannot overlook, was an A/C unit malfunction. We woke up to a pool of sweat, and called the front desk. The gentleman showed up, looked at it, and said he could have engineering look at it at 7am. Well, not sure what he thought we’d do for sleep, as it was simply too hot to just doze on off: And strangely and disappointingly, no one ever followed up the next day. Of course this type of hotel design doesn’t have windows that can be used for ventilation, so there was no relief period. I don’t think either of us rested much if any, so it pretty much ruined the entire stay. Things happen, but maybe an offer to move us to another room, which wasn’t an easy task in the middle of the night,
Rodeway Inn Knoxville
2.9/529 Reviews
We just stayed one night on our way to vacation, but the hotel was good. It looked like they just renovated, but kept some older appliances like the mini fridge and the microwave, but they still worked well. The only bad thing I have to say is that the sign up front and website say free continental breakfast, but they don’t offer it due to Covid.
