"As expected"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Oak Ridge by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville West

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay. Comfortable and safe."

Tru by Hilton Knoxville North I75

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a bit minimalist in the best kind of way. The room (one queen) had a large, well-appointed bathroom with a roomy shower. The room itself was not large, but the storage options and layout were very well thought-out. The pool looked inviting! We were very highly pleased with our visit!"

Comfort Inn Oak Ridge - Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast. Room was quiet. Staff was great. Would stay here again."

Comfort Suites Knoxville West - Farragut

8/10 Good

"Bathroom badly needs update. Tub is covered with a plastic coating but you can still see the badly stained porcelain. Bathroom door wouldn't close."

Comfort Suites Knoxville North

10/10 Excellent

"My husband fell in the parking lot and the desk clerk went out of her way to help us out. She helped us to our room and made sure my husband was ok. Thank you so much."

Holiday Inn Knoxville N - Merchant Drive by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The property and room were exceptionally clean. The breakfast in the morning cost $7.50 per person but there were lots of choices. Staff were very nice and attentive. The hotel was in a great area with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The Hotel also had easy access off the main Interstate in Knoxville. There is a very nice restaurant and bar on the premises. We liked the comfort of the beds, my only criticism was they were very high off the floor. I am small and had to really scramble to get into the bed each night. Otherwise everything was great."

WoodSpring Suites Oak Ridge Knoxville

10/10 Excellent

"It's a very simple extended stay place. They have what you need, without a lot of fluff. No breakfast, but that's okay. There's a full size fridge and a stove in the room. The place was spotless, and well maintained, with controlled entry. I only saw the guy at the desk, but he was very polite and helpful. If you want a clean simple and inexpensive place to stay, I can't recommend this place enough. Just don't expect a lot of extras."
