Top University of Tennessee Gardens Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. The only two things I would want changed are the music that's played in the lobby and the rooftop bar and the sliding bathroom door. The music was stuff I didn't recognize and was just hard to follow along with, just very strange. The sliding bathroom door was really heavy and I wrenched by back trying to close it."

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, newly renovated hotel, and courteous staff. However, I was disappointed to see that parking was valet (/$nightly fee) only, I booked this hotel because I thought it had self parking. Otherwise, 5/5 stars."

The Oliver Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed a spacious room that was quiet and comfortable. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel cannot be beat. Easy walking distance to downtown Knoxville and a surprising number of interesting places to visit. We enjoyed a show at the Bijou Theater and a nightcap at the Peter Kern Library, which is a speakeasy at the Oliver hotel. Everything about our experience in Knoxville was wonderful."

"Stayed for a football weekend while visiting our son. The kitchen was helpful for prepping our tailgate food. Very, very close to campus, but not owned by the University. Rate was comparable to hotels in the area for a football weekend with the added convenience of close location. Would stay again when visiting our son."
