Ratings and Reviews of Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University by Ihg

9.2 user rating

We stayed here when moving our son back into UT. Chose the hotel for the location. Every member of the staff that we encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. The bed was sooo comfortable and the room was clean. The location was great, less than a block from market square and so close to UT. They offer a UT parent discount as well. Highly recommend this hotel.
One of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at.
Beautiful and clean! Also close to everything in downtown. The gym was the largest and had the most equipment of any hotel weve stayed in. The restaurant was great for breakfast.
