Top University of Tennessee Gardens Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"A great location! I enjoyed my stay!! If I ever return, I’d def come back…"

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The location is phenomenal, right off the freeway, next to the sun sphere, next to downtown. The best lobby/lounge area with big fireplaces . A wonderful coffee shop and restaurant too. Free guest laundry services! Just ask the front desk for detergent :) they even allowed us a late check out (2pm! For our flight time) with no extra charge. We look forward to coming back!"

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."

Courtyard by Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly. Everything was clean. Rooms were excellent. The only issue we had was, we didn’t bring a steamer and they didn’t tell us about the dry cleaning. They just said they didn’t have a steamer. And the other issue was lighting was horrible in the room we had. But my overall stay was great. They had tons of mirrors. I’d go back again with the steamer this time. Lol"
