Top East Knoxville Hotel Reviews

Wilderness at the Smokies - Stone Hill Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean the staff were friendly will stay again"

Hilton Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"This was located close enough to the downtown area to walk. There are lots of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment there. It is walkable to the Food City Center if you are accustomed to walking distances (a mile or more). After the show it would have been quicker to walk back than navigate traffic. There was a bottleneck at check in with the front desk and the elevators. They did open the service elevator to get more people through. There is onsite Starbucks and restaurant. We had breakfast at the restaurant and it was top notch."

Drury Inn & Suites Knoxville West

10/10 Excellent

"The cleanest and most well maintained hotel I've ever stayed at. The staff was consistently friendly and very helpful. The room was so comfortable and the shower was perfect. We really appreciated the complimentary dinner and drinks. The hot tub and pool were very well maintained too. Absolutely comfortable and genuinely enjoyable stay. And for a very reasonable price! Thank you to the staff."

Pigeon River Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, with a great view of the river. Parking was simple. Breakfast was ok, although I felt bad there only seemed to be one staff member to try to keep up with the large number of guests eating breakfast. Seating was also limited for breakfast, especially later in the morning. The pool was clean but a bit small, especially if there were many guests swimming at one time. Best part about this hotel was the location. We could easily walk to many attractions, and it was right on the river."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Started off rocky room wasn’t ready at check in had to wait close to an hour before room was ready but they took care of us and comped our valet, also gave 2 breakfast vouchers and 2 free drinks at the bar! Room was very clean and I can’t say enough about the staff every single one I encountered was very friendly and courteous! Highly recommend this hotel! "
