The Spotlight on Econo Lodge Knoxville

Affordable Comfort Just Outside Downtown Knoxville


Simple, clean, and wallet-friendly, Econo Lodge Knoxville is located in the West Knoxville district, about 13 miles from the heart of the city. With easy highway access and a no-fuss vibe, it’s a popular pick for travelers looking for a low-cost base with the essentials covered. Whether you're catching a big show or just need a place to crash after a night out, this hotel delivers the basics without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

While it’s not downtown, the hotel is a straight shot down I-40 to Knoxville’s key venues like Neyland Stadium and the Knoxville Convention Center—around a 20–25 minute drive. That means you can enjoy the show, then retreat to a quieter part of town for a peaceful night’s rest. The 24-hour front desk is a plus for late arrivals, and free WiFi makes it easy to coordinate rideshares or stream your favorite setlists.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable room to split
  • Solo travelers catching a legendary act
  • Couples planning a weekend on a budget
  • Fans needing a quiet recovery zone post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind a short drive

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests will find several fast-casual and sit-down dining options within walking or short driving distance. Breakfast is typically available in the morning, which is great if you’ve had a late night. For post-show cravings, nearby diners and 24-hour chains offer quick, late eats.

Nightlife Options

West Knoxville is quieter than downtown, but you'll still find a few nearby bars and casual hangouts. For more vibrant nightlife and live music, a short drive downtown opens up a wider selection of late-night spots, lounges, and after-party options. If you prefer to chill in your room, the peaceful surroundings make for a great wind-down space.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the affordable rates, friendly 24-hour front desk, and the hotel’s clean, no-frills rooms. Many mention it's a solid choice for travelers who just need a place to sleep after a long day or night out. The quiet location is often praised by those looking to escape the bustle.

Areas for Improvement

Don’t expect luxury—this is a budget stay through and through. Some guests note that the decor is dated and there’s limited on-site amenities. And while the location is peaceful, it does require a car or rideshare to reach the main concert venues.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, affordable place to recharge after a concert, Econo Lodge Knoxville offers great value and a quiet night's sleep just outside the city.

Worst in room hotel experience...

Liked: I liked the location. The desk worker was pretty nice as well.
Disliked: In our room, the tub wouldn't drain at all. TV wouldn't turn on and we had no remote at all. The AC barely blew air at all. It took almost 6 hours to go from 82 in the room to 75. I truly feel as though I should get at minimum a partial refund. Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Without question. Went to front desk 3 different times. Each time it had a sign stating be back shortly. I wanted to ask to switch rooms. I highly doubt yall will refund me anything even tho half what a guest pays for in the room didn't work. This is why it's better to not use 3rd party sites for bookings. If there's an issue. They don't care. Maybe that's changed with this booking app. But I highly doubt it.
