The Tennessean Personal Luxury Hotel

great service very friendly

What a gem! I chose The Tennessean for my first trip to Knoxville to tour UTK with my daughter, and it exceeded every expectation. As a former luxury hotel professional, I can confidently say their standards of service and cleanliness are top-tier. The entire staff was incredibly courteous and helpful, and the property itself is beautiful, immaculate, and loaded with wonderful amenities. We loved using the gym, and taking their golf cart shuttle to dinner one night was an absolute highlight! The location is truly perfect, offering easy walking distance to local shops, sights, restaurants, and the university. With my daughter starting graduate school at UTK, I’ve officially found my permanent lodging for all future visits.

From the moment you pull in and your car is parked, the welcoming greeting and the professionalism walking in the door is exceptional. They actually make you feel you are important and welcome and happy to have you. Everybody treats you like a VIP. They go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable, you have everything you need, and happy to answer any questions and make excellent recommendations.

This was the best hotel that I stayed at during my trip to TN. The location is great, the staff was excellent

It is a decent and older hotel. Maybe in the hotel’s earlier days, it was amazing. Now, the hotel requires a few repairs starting with how the rooms and hallways smell. Not bad but definitely needs work. A positive- it had amazing AC.

Definitely recommend this hotel! Bed slept comfortably room was very spacious very quiet couldn’t hear any hall or street noise

There was only 1 coffee cup in our room. Also it would be a nice amenity to have a coffee/tea "bar" in the lobby instead of guests having to buy such in the shop.

Very nice hotel. Great service with great staff. Appreciated the complementary bottled water, turndown service, classy and comfortable room, quiet and cozy dining room, etc.. Only complaint is that when I received the bill, there were many "extra" charges such as parking (very expensive for a city this size), amenity fee, credit card fee, and taxes adding about $70/night.

This room was an upgrade from the rooms I usually get and it outdid my expectations. I raved about the rooms before, but somehow they outdid it with the 2 king bedroom with the city view. Great place and will keep on visiting in the future.
