Top Market Square Hotel Reviews

The Oliver Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed a spacious room that was quiet and comfortable. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. Easy walking distance to downtown Knoxville and a surprising number of interesting places to visit. We enjoyed a show at the Bijou Theater and a nightcap at the Peter Kern Library, which is a speakeasy at the Oliver hotel. Everything about our experience in Knoxville was wonderful."

Cumberland House Knoxville, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"It is a very pretty and interesting lobby, and it is a convenient location that is totally walkable to UTK campus for college tours. It has construction going on around it but nothing that was loud or interfered with evenings or sleep. The bed was really hard which was my single biggest complaint, but overall a good stay and worth the money and convenient to UTK campus."

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a very nice place for us to stay during our recent visit to Knoxville to attend our niece's wedding party. Very clean and spacious room and eating area for breakfast, which had a nice variety of hot and cold foods to choose from. The staff we encountered were friendly and professional. When I had a question about a charge on my credit card, they were very helpful and politely explained the charge to my satisfaction. We loved the location of this hotel; right downtown so we were able to walk pretty much everywhere. Great restaurants, shops, parks and the river close by."
