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
