"The staff was incredible. The hotel was nice and smelled great. However, be prepared to pay for parking. The garage is about a block away and charges $20 a day. The hotel was recently opened so there was no gym and most of the electric did not work in the room. We had to move the refrigerator across the room and we had to plug the microwave into a bathroom outlet to make it work. The staff apologized and were super nice. There were "joints" on the floor in the lobby which smelled up everything....

Top Historic Southern Railway Station Hotel Reviews

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."

"Everything was good overall!"

"I have stayed in 4 different lofts at this location forwork. This loft is my favorite. It's on the first floor and close to the entrance. I also loved the layout, it was perfect for me. I'm staying there again next week. Maybe I should leave a bad review so I can have the place for myself, lol!"

The Albatross-Houseboat DT Knox

8/10 Good

"Good stay for our first trip on a house boat!1) it’s about a 0.4 mi walk from the parking area to the boat. There is a wagon on the boat if you needed to use it to help lessen trips. 2) it’s dog friendly, which is awesome! It is about 0.2mi to the closest grassy area from the boat. 3) there are lots of blankets and heaters, as well as, a portable AC unit. We also used blankets to block off areas which helped keep the main area cool for our dog. 4) Ants - weren’t a huge deal, but we had to make sure the food was kept off the counters so mainly into the fridge. They didn’t get into the trash. 5) Kids loved the bunk beds and the main bed was quite comfortable for us."
