Top World's Fair Park Hotel Reviews

Marriott Knoxville Downtown

8/10 Good

"I don't know about you but I expect either a smart TV I can beam my phone to, or movie channels. This hotel has neither. I don't want to sign into my Netflix or Prime accounts on hotel TVs. Otherwise, this hotel is nicely situated between the university and Market Square/Downtown"

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."

Holiday Inn Express Knoxville Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Very nice staff, great location, clean rooms. Amentities downstairs were a bit lacking. They ran out of water bottles and no free water is in the room or even water to purchase. So it’s best to bring some before you arrive. Our room was really nice and the free breakfast was plentiful."
