Top Old City Hotel Reviews

THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great room and staff, BUT PARK YOURSELF OFF THE PROPERTY, and take a short Uber trip to the hotel. One nights is $42 plus valet tip, because only valet parking is available."

Days Inn by Wyndham Knoxville North

8/10 Good

"The room was exactly what I was thinking it was going to be. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom was nice and clean and the room itself was also nice and clean. The only things to point out if I were being nitpicky would be that the remote didn’t work for the tv and the breakfast was extremely limited but neither of these things affected my stay. Overall was a pleasant stay"

Americas Best Value Inn - Knoxville East

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay at and these hotels are amazing to stay at. Everything was smooth and staff is amazing too! Great coffee and walked to Cracker Barrel after driving a lot that day. Great pit stop hans down. Keep up the GREAT WORK. this company chain will is my southern pass to my future stays. Pet friendly which was a plus. Room is designed perfectly. Beds were comfortable. Great price."

Comfort Inn & Suites Knoxville West

8/10 Good

"Hotel is convenient to shopping and well priced. Exterior was neat and clean. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Room, linens and bathroom were clean. However, the carpet and furniture in the hallways and lounge area were EXTREMELY dirty and need to be replaced. Elevator was dirty. Common areas and lobby need cleaning/updating. This is an older hotel so some age and wear is to be expected, but the carpet was unacceptable. This was our second time staying here. We come to Knoxville twice a year and we will probably stay elsewhere next time."
