Top University of Tennessee Gardens Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is super cute, right next to the uni. The staff was so friendly, the drinks were good. room was soooo adorable. the only down side was that you could hear everything going on in the hallway, and the AC was a little loud but otherwise very quaint room."

THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and friendly staff."

Cumberland House Knoxville, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding property. Staff were great, very nice surroundings. Visitors should know that there is no free parking…valet service only."

Hilton Knoxville

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel in downtown knoxville. Parking is pricey, but you can park in The Locust street Public parking deck, which is one street over, for a quarter the price. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Venue is well maintained and in a nice central location in downtown knoxville. My only problem was about 3:30 In the morning, the fan on the air conditioner started making a horrendous noise and it made it very hard to sleep even with earplug in. If I wasn't preparing to leave in the next couple hours, I probably would have asked to move rooms, but by the time I moved rooms, it'd be time for me to pack up, start heading out. I did inform staff checkout and they said they would have someone look into it."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Everything was good overall!"
