Downtown Knoxville, 0.4 km from World's Fair Park

"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 World's Fair Park Hotel Reviews

Cumberland House Knoxville, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding property. Staff were great, very nice surroundings. Visitors should know that there is no free parking…valet service only."

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."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Everything was good overall!"

Graduate by Hilton Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was beyond helpful!! When checking in, my child announced that it was my birthday. The next day there was a bag hanging on our door with a birthday card and a treat on it! Just so thoughtful! Also, my AirPods fell down the elevator shaft. I mentioned it at the front desk and she said she’d talk to maintenance. They went down and got them for me. They were so thoughtful and helpful!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The Embassy Suite was very comfortable, the staff friendly and very helpful and the breakfast delicious and hot. The location was perfect for why we were in Knoxville. We will definitely come back."

"Garden" 2Br, 2Ba, overlooking the Square in Downtown Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at this property and definitely won’t be the last. You can’t beat the location and the property itself is perfect. Clean, convenient, and charming. The apartment is equipped with anything you might need during your stay, like toiletries, snacks and several board games. We absolutely love this place!!"

"Lofn" is a 1Br 1Ba located on Market Square,Middle of Everything

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful and convenient location. Very clean and comfortable!"

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."
