Top East Tennessee History Center Hotel Reviews

THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem! I chose The Tennessean for my first trip to Knoxville to tour UTK with my daughter, and it exceeded every expectation. As a former luxury hotel professional, I can confidently say their standards of service and cleanliness are top-tier. The entire staff was incredibly courteous and helpful, and the property itself is beautiful, immaculate, and loaded with wonderful amenities. We loved using the gym, and taking their golf cart shuttle to dinner one night was an absolute highlight! The location is truly perfect, offering easy walking distance to local shops, sights, restaurants, and the university. With my daughter starting graduate school at UTK, I’ve officially found my permanent lodging for all future visits."

Hilton Knoxville

6/10 Okay

"Room was nice. Bathroom shower’s water pressure very weak and took a long time to get hot. Very limited TV channel options. Very expensive restaurant, much cheaper and nicer food available close by outside hotel. The best thing about it is location and after that not much. At least $35 to self park, only $2 cheaper than valet which is crazy. Nickel and diming you the whole way. David at check-in was incredibly rude and set a bad tone for the stay. Enoch was very nice though. Sounds like staff is in a transition period. All in all it was ok, again the location is the key thing that makes it worthwhile."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

6/10 Okay

"Twice I have stayed at this hotel and both times the AC has made noises throughout the night that has made it difficult to sleep. This time everytime it would cut on there was a loud falling noise of something loose inside. Having checked in later at night and traveling with kids once I realized the issue I decided not to bring it to the attention of the front desk."

Residence Inn by Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My room was huge and loved the extra make up counter. The bed was very comfortable. Very convenient to downtown! Front desk is always so welcoming. Big lobby and the cafe and bar were nice, they just take a little bit of time, so if you are in a hurry this maybe isn't the best option. Overall the location and size of rooms are worth it."

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

6/10 Okay

"I room was spacious, clean and the property was well kept. However, we did have a problem with the AC in the living area of the room. It was wasn’t work, maintenance was called and they came relatively quickly to fix it. It worked for that day and the next, it stopped working again. Maintenance came again and the replaced the unit. The front desk manager called and apologized for the inconvenience and offered us a bottle of champagne but, my wife and I don’t drink. Then they offered a $30 Starbucks gift card. We accepted it but looking back, I should have demanded that one of the nights be comped. Ok the day of checkout, it felt like the AC stopped working again…."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Check in (and out) was efficient and pleasant with Ronnie. The rooftop pool & bar/lounge is a beautiful space with nearly 360 degree view of the city. Our only suggestion, please provide a bit more shade options because it got HOT late afternoons. Breakfast was one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve had. Made to order omelettes, hot eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, grits, waffles, oatmeal, assorted breads and pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit. And lots of room to sit and enjoy it on the Mezzanine. The city feels safe and clean, and from the hotel we were easily able to walk Market Square for drinks and dinner and to enjoy the park with live music on a Tuesday night, to the World’s Fair Exhibit & Sunsphere; and to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and the Tennessee History Center. If you have time, take advantage of the Tennessee Riverboat sightseeing tour."
