I'd give it another try
The gentleman at the front desk asked if we had been to The Tennessean before. We said no. He said welcome to The Tennessean. That was it. No info on the hotel, the valet, what to do, where the restaurant/bar was. Nothing. Other than that, it was a nice stay.

Just shy of Perfection
Really Great hotel, probably one of the nicest I have ever stayed at, really clean and fresh, smelled really good, employees were really nice and helpful, valet was friendly and fast. However, things like the 7 dollar upcharge water bottles in the room take it down from a 5 star, also the AC didn't cool the room super well but otherwise it was a great hotel. The bar and food looked really good but I did not get a chance to sample them.

A bit disappointing
They gave my room away for the first night of my stay even after I was charged for it!! They claimed they didn’t have my reservation! All they could offer was an apology and send me on my way to find another hotel. Ended up at the Hyatt Place; they were so very nice and welcoming! Felt bad for us, matched the hotels.com price AND gave us 2 free drink coupons! We returned to the Tennessean the following evening and everything was better although there were still NO concessions made for their error in overbooking and giving my room away. We were there for a wedding and everyone else in the family stayed there the entire time.

Nice hotel in a great location. It is across from the convention center. Room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. Area around the hotel was nice. A few things to note, the valet parking sign said $35, but I ended up paying $62. There’s was a $20 urban amenities fee?? and taxes. Didn’t know about that until I got my bill. Also charged for internet, $19. I didn’t know that either until I got my bill. Not sure where these items were listed when I booked the room.

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! The bathroom was very spacious as well as our room. The staff was very attentive and the bar/restaurant had the best food and cocktails. I would put it on our list for one of the top hotels we have been to, and we travel frequently. The next time we are in Knoxville, this will definitely be our go to!

The ambiance was set when we walked in were greeted by name by the best dressed desk clerk ever in a stylish suit and lovely bow tie. Throughout our stay he never failed to greet us by name and inquire how our stay was going and ask if anything was needed. The hotel was a ten out of ten but my bowtied friend made it even better.We will definitely be !!
