Top East Tennessee History Center Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Jen and Irv were fantastic at breakfast. They both went above and beyond. Great way to start the morning."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay. Great communication. Perfect location. Easy to access. Noise from local bars but sound machine or ear plugs drown it out. Would stay again for sure."

Cumberland House Knoxville, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here a few times and will continue to stay again. It’s always perfect and the staff is amazing."

The Albatross-Houseboat DT Knox

10/10 Excellent

"I booked this for my son and his wife anniversary present they loved it"

The Smokey Gentleman

10/10 Excellent

"This place is even BETTER in person, which rarely happens! It is very spacious, so tastefully decorated, clean, functional...AND the location made our stay PERFECT. The host was very responsive. We absolutely will be booking again for our next Knoxville stay! 5 stars all the way!!!"

Tailor Loft Penthouse | Downtown w/ Rooftop Deck

8/10 Good

"We rented 401 Tailor Lofts for my bridal party to get ready and for the night of our wedding. It was the perfect mix of unique features, industrial vibes and stylish backdrop for great photo moments and BTS get-ready footage. The hosts were extremely accommodating and the check in/out process was very easy - even after all we had to move in and out. My only critique is that the temperature really fluctuated depending on where you were in the space. I fully understand the challenge of having huge windows with high ceilings, but the master temp control never cooled to where we wanted to set it. Luckily the fan moved air very well so we were never uncomfortable. I would stay here again 10 out of 10 times and will likely do so as it now holds a special place in my husbands and my story."

Tailor Loft Urban Apartment | Best Downtown Views

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was just like photos and description. Great location. Friday night it did get a little loud outside with someone playing music and singing. And the street lights are bright and the windows to master were not the way covered so it was kind of bright in there. But the unit is very spacious, well equipped and clean. The beds were really really comfortable. I would stay again."
