Top Old City Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Knoxville West

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The staff was amazing and welcoming…especially the people in the food service area. The food was absolutely fantastic. I didn’t remember that dinner was included, so that was a pleasant surprise after a long day of flying. The spa was huge and the indoor outdoor pool was great. I will 100% be staying at this hotel chain again when possible. I had never heard of it before, but I wished I had."

10/10 Excellent

"This property is absolutely amazing!It’s well maintained and really clean.Imagine sat on your deck with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the mountains with only the birds singing. The view is breathtaking.The property is really well equipped in the kitchen and the host leaves plenty of supplies to get you started, which is something not all hosts do. Even down to extra gas bottles for the grill and fire pit. In other properties we have had to purchase them ourselves with no refund.Our grandchildren loved the games room as did some adults.There was something for everyone, quiet space, movie theater, pool, spa, games. Our age range was 7 to 70 (the 70 year old celebrated his milestone birthday there).Recommendation for dinner would be The Local Goat, Pigeon Forge.I can’t say enough about the host. At 8.40am on a Sunday morning when we were trying to figure out the spa app he replied within two minutes and sent his personal phone number.We were very lucky to see a Momma bear and her two cubs on two nights. The first night they were on the porch. We would highly recommend the property and the host."
