THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location, nice rooms."

Downtown•Riverviews •Walk To Market Sq & UT•Get 3 Night Beach Trip by Booking

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment is small, but it was clean. It is downstairs, so be warned. You have to bring your suitcase down the stairs. The building is old and a little musty, but the apartment did not smell musty. The location was excellent and it's an easy walk to downtown or to the stadium. The parking was tight, but we did manage to fit our VW Taos in there, no problems."
