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

  • Groups of friends needing a central yet chill base
  • 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”
  • “Convenient location for concerts and events in downtown Knoxville”

Areas for Improvement

  • Not walkable to downtown venues—you’ll need a car or rideshare
  • No on-site restaurant or bar, but plenty of dining options nearby
  • East Knoxville location lacks some of the buzz of downtown

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.

Bad experienced ... trashy attitude...

Liked: The hotel is okay ...
Disliked: The staff on the morning we checked out was rude and unprofessional ... she didn't ask the way you should talk to customer/s. She made a scene out of a situation where she didn't even check how and what happened. She just assumed that she was right of what she heard or overheard on the phone when she called and checked on us that morning of us checking out. She needs a customer skills service badly. It doesn't look good to a place like a hotel to put a staff at the front desk, particularly with a trashy attitude. My partner is still not over how she talked to him that morning. She should not have talked the way she did if she was professional enough to handle the situations. Too bad we don't remember and / or we didn't check her name. But the HR should be able to trace or check who was on duty in the morning of Saturday, July 5, 2025, around 12 noon. We look forward to hearing a just report about the incident. Thank you
