What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We stayed here after my wife had a procedure at UTMC. This is only a 10 minute drive away. This is a very nice hotel, very clean, cherry and comfortable. The room was nice sized and clean. The bed was comfortable, bathroom was well stocked. The staff was wonderful (shout-out to Mackenzie) and very accommodating. We will definitely stay here again the next time we need a Knoxville visit.”
“Excellent staff - super welcoming, helpful & attentive! Emaculately Clean and in order! Smells heavenly! Only feedback is the food served for dinner & lunch meeting = 1⭐ tasteless, and questionable on safe cooking standards pink”
“We had a really nice overnight stay during a recent road trip. The hotel is located close to the UT famous and not far from options for dining and shopping. And you're back on the interstate in just a couple of minutes. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was really good. We had a couple of burgers with sides. All was very tasty and service was fast for a hotel restaurant. We travel with our dog, so a feature we liked was having a floor to ceiling window. He enjoyed sitting and watching the people as they moved through the parking lot.”
“We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Knoxville! They went above and beyond to accommodate our team, and the hospitality was truly outstanding. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The parents really enjoyed the bar area, and the kids had a blast in the pool—it was the perfect setup for a traveling team! Overall, it was such a wonderful experience, and we will definitely plan to stay here again on our next trip to Knoxville. Highly recommend!”
“Excellent stay at the Hilton Garden Inn on Papermill Drive. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable throughout my visit. The in-house restaurant was very good and convenient after a long day. The staff was outstanding—friendly, professional, and attentive. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Knoxville.”
