Top Knoxville Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville West

10/10 Excellent

"The reviews on this property did not disappoint. It was clean. The customer service was polite and very helpful. The location to UT and Turkey Creek shopping and restaurants were very convenient. The Fitness Center was equipped with what you need. They served a limited breakfast but it was tasty and enough to be filling…for free. It’s tucked away behind a Shell gas station so you have to cut across their parking lot or go through the Comfort Inn parking lot. That was a little awkward. But, I would book there again when in town."

Days Inn by Wyndham Knoxville East

8/10 Good

"Only stayed for about 10 hrs to sleep. Was good for that. Clean rooms."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Close to everything downtown, but noisy"

Comfort Suites Knoxville North

10/10 Excellent

"It was a nice place. Clean and the staff was very friendly"
