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.

While the checkin and room amenities were good, sadly our evening safety & sleeping experience was below any hotel’s conditions regardless of star rating. Room carpet looked dated (by about 10-15 years), room phone did not work, and otherwise is was the location and handling of an unsafe dispute occurring next to our room that was a little shocking given the claims of being a luxury property. But our unfortunate experience started at a little after midnight when a neighboring room had two males threatening one another. Starting with muffled argument and escalating to threats of “cutting you” it was clear it would not subside by around 12:45AM. It sounded like the sort of argument where gunfire could present. Which is undoubtedly a much larger security issue in a hotel… So, I attempted to call the front desk to report a need for security but my in room phone would not connect. I used my cell phone to call the front desk and let them know. Security came up within 5-10 minutes and you could hear the exchange at the door. It was jovial and clearly a non confrontational. Around 3PM threats great loud again and I called again this time resulting in someone’s removal (I think). Why I had to monitor the situation is absurd. What’s worse is no one from the hotel acknowledge it at checkout or me. I was given a credited “resort fee” which is lowly at best. There has been no followup since
