Top University of Tennessee Hotel Reviews

Cumberland House Knoxville, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Love this place. Our son is at UTK, and this is our go to when we visit."

Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University by IHG

8/10 Good

"The location was good, easily walkable to the main downtown streets for dinners etc. the room was clean and a normal hotel room. It’s a big hotel and did not seem like a crowded weekend so I was surprised that our room had a not so great view of the back gravel area. There is also a bit of a sewer smell in the lobby and the plumbing seems to be a little issue. Everything else was great."

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

8/10 Good

"My stay was nice and comfortable. The staff was friendly… my only issue was my room did not have a view at all and I think I chose a view when I booked. There was literally a wall right outside the window. Other than that it’s in a great location, the free breakfast is a great touch because most places don’t do free breakfast anymore. I would recommend to others"

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Only two issues one was the TV. Washed out and tough on the eyes. No fan in bathroom. Clean room, hallways and walk ways. Floors in lobby and restaurant always clean. Staff: Always helpful and pleasant. Breakfast: Oatmeal is ample and delicious. Traditional bacon, egg, potatoes and bread great. Bar: NA Computer and printer available to print airline tickets."

THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem! I chose The Tennessean for my first trip to Knoxville to tour UTK with my daughter, and it exceeded every expectation. As a former luxury hotel professional, I can confidently say their standards of service and cleanliness are top-tier. The entire staff was incredibly courteous and helpful, and the property itself is beautiful, immaculate, and loaded with wonderful amenities. We loved using the gym, and taking their golf cart shuttle to dinner one night was an absolute highlight! The location is truly perfect, offering easy walking distance to local shops, sights, restaurants, and the university. With my daughter starting graduate school at UTK, I’ve officially found my permanent lodging for all future visits."
