Food and Drink Options

Start your day after a late night with a hearty buffet or American breakfast, served fresh each morning. While there's no on-site restaurant for dinner, rooms with kitchenettes (fridge, microwave, dishwasher) let you prep a quick bite or store leftovers. Plus, you’ll find plenty of fast dining and casual spots just a short drive or walk away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself isn't a nightlife hotspot, you’re only a short Lyft or drive from Knoxville’s active bar and music scene. Head downtown for craft cocktails, local beer houses, and late-night lounges. Afterward, return to a quiet room with a flat-screen TV and comfy bed.

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and easy airport access. Many appreciate the free breakfast, and note that the hotel is a solid value for travelers attending events or shows in Knoxville. The outdoor pool is a welcome bonus in warmer months.

Areas for Improvement

Not right in downtown Knoxville, so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most venues. Some reviewers mention the decor is a bit basic, but functional and clean. No on-site bar may be a downside for those looking to pregame or unwind without leaving the hotel.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a quiet, affordable, and convenient stay just outside Knoxville, Hampton Inn By Hilton Knoxville-Airport is a smart pick.
