"The staff was incredible. The hotel was nice and smelled great. However, be prepared to pay for parking. The garage is about a block away and charges $20 a day. The hotel was recently opened so there was no gym and most of the electric did not work in the room. We had to move the refrigerator across the room and we had to plug the microwave into a bathroom outlet to make it work. The staff apologized and were super nice. There were "joints" on the floor in the lobby which smelled up everything....

Top University of Tennessee Gardens Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Knoxville-Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our only complaint was the street noise. The cars were so loud outside our window all night long."

The Oliver Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this stay was excellent. At one point, a staff member saw me holding an ice bag in the hallway of the floor where my room was (which did not have an ice machine), and he offered to go get the ice for me and brought it to me in my room. The room was nice and very clean. My only regret was that there was no microwave. The location is perfect for walking downtown Knoxville. There is so much to see and do there and too many great restaurants to choose from. I would definitly stay here if I'm ever in Knoxville again."

THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

10/10 Excellent
