Top University of Tennessee Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I travel to Knoxville a few times a year to attned concerts at the Tennessee Theater - and typically have dinner at the Vida restaurant pre-show. This trip we decided to stay downtown for dinner and the show. The hotel is great. Well maintained, clean and the rooms are sizable and comfortable, Location is fantastic for the Tenn. Theater.......maybe a 5 minute walk. Exceptionally convenient. The hotel has it's own parking lot for guests - and fee is $25 a night. Again, cheaper than someof the other downtown hotels - plus it is truly convenient. And it's self-parking, so you're waiting for some car jockey; and not tipping each time you need to put your car in or out. We enjoyed out stay there and will be back again."

Courtyard by Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly. Everything was clean. Rooms were excellent. The only issue we had was, we didn’t bring a steamer and they didn’t tell us about the dry cleaning. They just said they didn’t have a steamer. And the other issue was lighting was horrible in the room we had. But my overall stay was great. They had tons of mirrors. I’d go back again with the steamer this time. Lol"

Holiday Inn Express Knoxville Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had such a great time in my five day stay. The staff was absolutely phenomenal. Everybody was so charming and polite. The continental breakfast was delicious and provided selection. The rooms were all well kept and the maids and cleaning staff were very good and diligent about replacing products when asked and came in to clean the rooms almost daily. The rooms are also very modern and appearance and are quite spacious. I stayed in a king suite with a working desk, television and bathroom. And it was the best home away from home during my conference time. The facility is nice and close to the Market Square and downtown area. Great location, great staff and great stay."
