I stayed here three years ago, with a couple of my family members, and felt comfortable and safe. When another trip to Knoxville came up, this Holiday Inn was automatically my first choice. Staff is helpful, beds are comfortable, rooms are huge (at least my two have been). The only thing I don't like is the position of the towel racks by the sink; for those of us who stand when washing our hands, we either have to push the towel to one end and stand very awkwardly to avoid our clothes touching it, or we lean right into it and it gets totally contaminated by our clothes. Could there please be a rack on the wall above the sink?

We initially were given 307. I entered room at 4pm to find it occupied. We were then given room 420 which was nice except curtains don’t close and back parking lights shined in our room.

So, in the past I really disliked the Holiday Inn's, they we're outdated and never clean. I decided to try this location after many years avoiding them like the plague. What a pleasant surprise! It was very clean, had a really accommodating staff and lost the out dated look of what I've seen in the past. The room was simple but really clean, the bed was really comfortable. Only complaint is the parking is terrible when they are booked heavy. Great stay and great staff! I will def be booking with this location again next time we're in Knoxville!
