THE TENNESSEAN Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and friendly staff."

Quality Inn Kodak Sevierville

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the cleanest hotels we have ever stayed in. (we stayed in some very big name 5 start hotels) Our stay started with a wonder greeting at check in. It's a little older hotel with outside entrances, not a single web to be found walking down the sidewalks. The grounds had a fire pit and lawn games, with lots of space to play. We had a great breakfast before leaving. This also has a 2nd hotel on the property called the Motorcylce Inn. We also hear raves from those customers. (super cool rooms with Motorcycles displayed in the rooms) We will be coming back on our future trips it that area!"

Hilton Knoxville

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel in downtown knoxville. Parking is pricey, but you can park in The Locust street Public parking deck, which is one street over, for a quarter the price. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Venue is well maintained and in a nice central location in downtown knoxville. My only problem was about 3:30 In the morning, the fan on the air conditioner started making a horrendous noise and it made it very hard to sleep even with earplug in. If I wasn't preparing to leave in the next couple hours, I probably would have asked to move rooms, but by the time I moved rooms, it'd be time for me to pack up, start heading out. I did inform staff checkout and they said they would have someone look into it."
