Top Knoxville Zoo Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, bedding was clean, staff was very helpful throughout the whole stay."

Hilton Knoxville

6/10 Okay

"Room was nice. Bathroom shower’s water pressure very weak and took a long time to get hot. Very limited TV channel options. Very expensive restaurant, much cheaper and nicer food available close by outside hotel. The best thing about it is location and after that not much. At least $35 to self park, only $2 cheaper than valet which is crazy. Nickel and diming you the whole way. David at check-in was incredibly rude and set a bad tone for the stay. Enoch was very nice though. Sounds like staff is in a transition period. All in all it was ok, again the location is the key thing that makes it worthwhile."

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

6/10 Okay

"I room was spacious, clean and the property was well kept. However, we did have a problem with the AC in the living area of the room. It was wasn’t work, maintenance was called and they came relatively quickly to fix it. It worked for that day and the next, it stopped working again. Maintenance came again and the replaced the unit. The front desk manager called and apologized for the inconvenience and offered us a bottle of champagne but, my wife and I don’t drink. Then they offered a $30 Starbucks gift card. We accepted it but looking back, I should have demanded that one of the nights be comped. Ok the day of checkout, it felt like the AC stopped working again…."

Downtown Retreat 5 mins to UT and Market Square

10/10 Excellent

"Property and location were fantastic. There’s a nice park within walking distance which was nice for the dog and kids. Property was well stock with essentials and very clean. They have laundry machines and a fully stocked kitchen with great appliances. Beds were both very comfortable. Will book again the next time we travel to Knoxville."

Plymouth · Quiet City Home, 7-8 min to Downtown Knox

6/10 Okay

"Pros: Excellent safe location and space for the price. Quite tree lined street. Responsive host. Parking on site. Great front and back yards (not fenced) for our two small dogs. Poop bags provided. BBQ grill clean. Nice sized TVs. Average comfortable beds, well made with adequate towels. Discount for future stays which was a nice touch. All communication was done through the app which was neither good nor bad. We travel a lot and are used to either meeting the host, a quick conversation, or a welcome gift but no points taken off for the lack thereof. Cons: Needs a good deep clean and a paint refresh. Kitchen missing a few essentials with deeply scratched pans. Patio unusable being too dusty with spiderwebs. Windows and screens dirty. Kitchen knives dull. Missing tongs for grill. The living room furniture reminds one of grandmas place in that it needs a good steaming or better yet, replacement. Uncomfortable couches. Soap dispensers barely had enough product for this stay. I added water to last us for four days. Bought fresh flowers but vase on top shelve was stickier than honey. I used it anyways…Living room a bit dark based on the house exposure but I couldn’t open the main door to let in light because there was no screen or glass on the screened front door."

The Albatross-Houseboat DT Knox

10/10 Excellent

"Phenomenal houseboat! Very well maintained, super clean, comfortable and peaceful. Beautiful views of the Tennessee River. The owners were awesome and the marina crew were spot on. Great area of Knoxville as well. So thankful for available bikes and water sport stuff too (paddle boards, kayak, etc). The walk to the boat was easy especially given it was a marina! I have walked further from my parking spot to hotels in downtown Knoxville. The Albatross gets an A in my book."
