    Excellent room for a reasonable price!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Conveniently located to UT campus. Love the layout of the hotel and the fact that there is such a nice coffee shop and two restaurants with a bar on the premises. The UT Photo Booth is a great bonus! Live music in the lobby was wonderful! I wish I could stay much longer. There’s nothing I disliked

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Fantastic room vibe and it was awesome. Not having a ton of people there. The food in the drawing room could use a little bit of improvement, but the drinks were awesome

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location and nice rooms.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The Tennessean has a more boutique feel than the Marriott next door, although the Marriott common area is also very nice. The convenience to the Convention Center is a huge plus.

    Good for price but definitely lower end of 5 star. Nice staff.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff was amazing room was nice good place to stay The bed was way to soft and shower pressure sucked

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The front desk staff along with the valet crew was tremendous: proactive, courteous, and professional. Our room was spacious and extremely clean, with a panoramic view of the Worlds Fair park. Might be the best licatikn in Knoxville with quick access to UT campus and downtown eateries. We could walk everywhere. We will return someday and look no further than tbe Tennessean!
