Top Knoxville Hotel Reviews

Cobblestone Hotel & Suites - Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"Good 👍 👍"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Indianola, IA

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the breakfast staff were friendly. A sign says pool and spa is permanently closed, disappointing as you don't know that until after you book. There was water in the pool and smelled like chlorine so doubting it is permanently closed. Feel they did it just for this busy weekend of travelers."

'Red Rock Lodge' w/ Hot Tub Near Raceway & Pella!

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The house was the perfect spot for our trip to Knoxville. It was close to multiple boat ramps, fishing areas, and the water, making it very convenient. The house comfortably accommodated our large group and had everything we needed for a great weekend. We’d definitely stay here again and are already looking forward to coming back!"

Enjoy nature in this 1-bedroom cabin with AC/Heat in rural Knoxville, Iowa.

10/10 Excellent

"This cabin is breathtaking. The views are a perfect nature stay without having to be “ too far away “ . There’s a beautiful trail that you can walk while there . Words and pictures don’t do this place justice . The host was so sweet . They really took their time with putting this place together . A bonus is that we even had some of the best sour dough bread of our life prepared by the host .For my family : we wanted to find somewhere to stay that wasn’t too far from home , but wasn’t just your average city “hotel “. This place truly feels like a getaway stay - cation . Knoxville is so lucky to have this addition!!! Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer . We will be back to create more memories !!:)"
