I grew up in Knoxville and I try to get back as often as I can. The Tennesseean is my hotel of choice when I come home, the staff is always polite and helpful, my room is spacious and welcoming and the Tennesseean has a very efficient valet set up, I like that!

FLAWLESS. This is an exquisite property. My husband and I stayed here years ago, and I made a stop here traveling cross-country (despite Nashville being a better stop for the night) because of this hotel. The Tennessean is the primer for how a hotel should look, run, and be maintained. There is thought in every detail, every nook of this property - fresh flowers, thoughtful amenities, impeccable staff. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautiful. My only regret is being too tired to order room service, which I'm sure would have also been fantastic. I will always land here when in Tennessee - it's the gold standard.

Tv remote wasn’t programmed for the tv. The tv had limited working channels, most channels were showing green lines across whole screen so you could see anything. Door going into the bathroom was extremely hard to open and close, something maybe with the track the bars door is on. Pool hours are only 10am-10pm making it so you really can’t use it if you check in late and check out on time. Also, no signage with hours on second floor door leading to pool.
