Top Baxter Visitor Center and Museum Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Cookeville

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was good and staff was nice."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cookeville

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is very clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I felt safe, and the area is quiet, considering the activity in the area. We were driving a 34 ft long RV and there was plenty of room to park without backing up. Easy access in and out. Easy access off the interstate, if you are driving east just exit the interstate, turn right and its right down the block. There are plenty of restaurants off this 287 exit."
