The Spotlight on Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Knoxville/East

Comfortable Convenience Near Knoxville’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Knoxville/East sits in East Knoxville with easy freeway access and a peaceful vibe. Just 11–13 miles from top downtown venues like the Knoxville Convention Center and Neyland Stadium, this 3-star hotel offers the best of both worlds: a quiet retreat and quick trips to the show.
Guests love the indoor pool, free WiFi, and helpful 24-hour front desk. Whether you're rolling into town for a big concert or a local gig, this hotel keeps things relaxed, affordable, and easy to navigate.

Why Concert-goers love it

With multiple venues only 15–20 minutes away, getting to your show is stress-free. After the encore, retreat to a quieter part of town—perfect for winding down. The late 12:00 PM check-out means you can sleep in after a late night, and the 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals a breeze. Reliable rideshare service coverage and highway access make transport simple, no matter the hour.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Solo travelers catching a dream tour stop
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking to save for merch

Food and Drink Options

  • Free hot breakfast served daily—ideal for post-concert recovery
  • Nearby eateries and fast food options within walking or short driving distance
  • Though there's no on-site restaurant, the hotel’s location near Cracker Barrel and other dining spots makes grabbing a bite easy

Nightlife Options

  • Quick ride to downtown Knoxville’s bars, lounges, and live music venues
  • Low-key East Knoxville location means you can escape the crowds when you’re ready
  • No on-site bar, but several local watering holes are just a short drive away

What People Say

  • Super clean and comfortable—felt brand new”
  • “Great value for the price”
  • Friendly staff and smooth check-in process”

Areas for Improvement

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, affordable stay with easy access to Knoxville’s music venues and a quiet place to crash after the show, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Knoxville/East hits all the right notes.

It was ok.

Liked: They had a nice breakfast.
Disliked: It was obviously older and could use some repairs. I asked for a room close to the elevator due to trouble walking. We were given the room farthest from the elevator.

Best hotel ever stayed at

Liked: Everybody there was fantastic The room was very clean. The beds were fantastic front counter people. Everybody was great the night before our last day there my granddaughter lost her diamond earring down into the sink. Not sure if he was the owner or the head manager. I want to say the owner though came to our room and literally took the piping apart and found her earring. Everybody went above and beyond throughout our whole stay, I would highly recommend this hotel.
Disliked: The only thing that we did not like is the breakfast was the same every morning
