Top Historic Southern Railway Station Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. The only two things I would want changed are the music that's played in the lobby and the rooftop bar and the sliding bathroom door. The music was stuff I didn't recognize and was just hard to follow along with, just very strange. The sliding bathroom door was really heavy and I wrenched by back trying to close it."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, newly renovated hotel, and courteous staff. However, I was disappointed to see that parking was valet (/$nightly fee) only, I booked this hotel because I thought it had self parking. Otherwise, 5/5 stars."

Unique Old City Loft - Minutes from Market Square

10/10 Excellent

"The house was in great location and the host was very communicative.The only downside was the twisting staircase and ability to get to the top floor with luggage."

The Oliver Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed a spacious room that was quiet and comfortable. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. Easy walking distance to downtown Knoxville and a surprising number of interesting places to visit. We enjoyed a show at the Bijou Theater and a nightcap at the Peter Kern Library, which is a speakeasy at the Oliver hotel. Everything about our experience in Knoxville was wonderful."
