Top East Knoxville 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"

Pigeon River Inn

8/10 Good

"compared to other hotels that are less pricey in the area, this is one of the best choices. I usually don't write reviews but this hotel deserves one. No smoking, No pets for me this is great! The staff is polite and even called my room before housekeeping went home for the day to see if i needed anything. The breakfast was a variety of items and they had plenty of each or they replaced when it was gone. Folgers coffee (reg and decaf) and juice available. There is a small pool out front 3-5ft deep with a handicap lift if you need one. The bedsheets smelled like fresh linen and the beds are cozy. I had a balcony room which was nice to have a view. The hotel is beside of the road but is decently sound proof. Ample space for parking in the back with access to the elevator, and plenty of security cameras. The only thing that was not good was the room floor carpet, my house socks got very dirty, so i wouldn't advise going bare foot. Plenty of hook ups for your phones. Very nice place for the cost. The reason i chose this place was because i wanted a place with a balcony and I got a surprise of a very nice hotel! Quiet and Friendly!"
