Everything you could ask for

It was great to have a spacious two-room suite. The location was excellent, especially since we attended the Big Ears Music Festival. It was within easy walking distance from all the venues. The housekeepers were very kind and helpful. The roof top lounge and bar were great. The breakfast was excellent. Will definitely stay again.

Great hotel. Our go-to place to stay in Knoxville. One minute walk to the Square. We park in the garage one block away on State Street to save $$$. Delicious food, excellent breakfast buffet. Wonderful shower. Large, comfy bed. My only complaint is the automatic, bright bathroom lights, which is great during waking hours, but not desirable in the middle of the night. I highly recommend this hotel.

A suite at 500$ per should have bedroom and living area separated. Trying to show tech with 2 tv's 3 feet apart and bathroom light coming on at 2 when pee break came was a shock. Breakfast was ordinary at beat. The view of a brick wall was the highlight of our stay. I'vestayed with Hilton for 40 years and this was a true disappointment.
