Top University of Tennessee Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Knoxville-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed this hotel and its location. Clean and very safe feeling. Nice Staff."

Courtyard by Marriott Knoxville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Bathroom shower was not good at all. Shower curtain was way to short that water went all over the floor. The shower itself wasn’t working properly and the tub drain kept closing and the tub filled up with water while showering. Everything else was great though"

Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Knoxville is a fantastic luxury hotel with excellent service and phenomenal rooms—the beds are super comfortable. It is truly a hotel fit for royalty; a place I would definitely return to, thanks to its beauty, top-tier service and hospitality, and, of course, a very reasonable price given the luxury and splendor of the property."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

8/10 Good

"So honestly one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at the room was spacious and clean the beds were very large and comfortable and the view I had on my room was amazing, the only reason it didn’t receive 5 stars was because it’s basically a mandatory valet parking unless you want to find public parking and walk to the hotel."

Hotel Cleo, Knoxville Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking for something special, hotel Cleo would not disappoint. The French decor and character created a true European feel. Our room was amazing with huge ceiling to floor windows and cozy sitting area. All furniture and decor feature were unique and very good quality. The food at the hotel’s Lilou restaurant was delicious. We had a wonderful romantic stay."

Graduate by Hilton Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at Graduate hotels before and this was my best experience. The check in experience was great and the check in desk is a hoot (Vol Navy), overall the decor of the hotel is in line with the UT theme and the location is right on campus & next door to Gus’s Good Times Deli. So easy to walk everywhere. Neyland is no more than a 10 min walk. I used valet parking and it was efficient & not overly expensive. Staff at front desk were welcoming and helpful (something not replicated across other graduate hotels), so overall I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again."
