The Spotlight on Dragon City

Mountain Views and Music Vibes Just Outside Knoxville

Modern yet laid-back, Dragon City is a peaceful retreat located in Maryville, TN—just under an hour from Knoxville’s top music venues. With scenic mountain views, BBQ facilities, and a relaxed, no-fuss atmosphere, it’s a solid option for concert-goers looking for a quieter spot to crash after the show.
Rooms feature private bathrooms (some with kitchenettes), free WiFi, and allergy-free options, making it a comfortable and convenient base whether you’re coming for music or nature.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is ideal for those wanting to stay outside the noise of downtown Knoxville while still being within easy driving distance of major venues. It’s a low-key, quiet space—perfect for post-concert wind-down. With check-in starting at 3:00 PM and a 10:00 AM check-out, it’s best suited for early risers or those heading out to explore the Smokies the next day. Free parking and proximity to McGhee Tyson Airport (just 19 miles away) are a plus for traveling fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base with room to relax
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list act in Knoxville
  • Couples wanting a weekend mix of music and mountain views
  • Fans who prefer quiet recovery time after a loud show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers with their own transport

Food and Drink Options

  • On-site restaurant with simple, satisfying options
  • Barbecue facilities for DIY dinners with friends
  • Nearby local diners and takeout spots within a short drive
  • No breakfast buffet, but options available close by

Nightlife Options

  • Not a party hotel—great for folks who want to unplug after a show
  • Short drive to downtown Maryville or Knoxville for drinks and live music
  • No on-site live music, but quiet hotel bar vibes for a nightcap

What People Say

Guests love the beautiful mountain views and peaceful atmosphere. Reviews mention the rooms as clean and comfortable, and many appreciate the value for money. The BBQ area and friendly staff also earn positive notes, especially from repeat visitors.

Areas for Improvement

While the location is scenic, it’s a bit far from nightlife hubs without a car. Some guests wished for later check-out or more food options on-site. And if you’re expecting luxury amenities, this isn’t that kind of stay—but it’s cozy and clean.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, quiet stay with mountain charm after a big night out, Dragon City delivers.

OK, but not great

Liked: Good location and the room was nicely themed.
Disliked: Overpriced for what you get. $30 cleaning fee. There is still coffee in the coffee pot from the previous user. The restaurant food was just OK and overpriced.

We had a great night...

Liked: We were able to get food after the kitchen was closed and they catered to us throughout the night as well.
Disliked: It's hard to find anything we didn't like. We were only there one night and it was a Sunday. The mattress on our bed was a little too firm.
