Top Rocky Top Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"WONDERFUL- HIGHLY RECOMMEND The welcome was so kind and professional, and it was easy peasy process. They reached out ahead of the date to let us know about early check in and late check out which was great infor that we took advantage of, of course :0) The lobby was beautiful and super clean. The room was also very clean and nice, bathroom as well and love the water pressure in the shower, like getting a massage :) They included breakfast, which had great selections, great food. The roof top deck was also very nice and great place to relax and see the city from a high view. Its centrally located and lots of fun places to visit and eat, just a few steps away. Its pet friendly, and our little Cavapoo was loved on by the staff and everyone :) Its reasonably priced and I highly recommend. We will visit again for sure"

Cumberland House Knoxville, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

"I stayed the weekend for a business trip so I didn’t use any amenities or get breakfast . Staff was friendly room was nice and modern . If you don’t want valet there was free street parking around the hotel if you can find a vacant space . Great stay"

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ & Suites Knoxville West-Cedar Bluff

10/10 Excellent

"My family loved the lobby and breakfast area. We were able to have a variety of food choices and there was plenty of seating options for us to sit and eat altogether (there were 5 of us). Unfortunately, since the pool was outside, and it was raining, we were unable to swim during our stay. Our room was clean and we were able to get a good rest in the beds."
