Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the daily American breakfast buffet is a big plus, especially after a late night. Several nearby eateries are just a short drive or walk away, and many stay open late. The hotel also offers vending machines and is close to fast-casual spots for quick bites.

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere. Many reviewers mention the hotel’s great location for airport access and easy drives to downtown Knoxville shows. The free parking and stable Wi-Fi also earn solid praise.

Areas for Improvement

A smart, affordable stay just outside Knoxville—ideal for concert-goers who want comfort, quiet, and convenience without the downtown price tag.

Excellent hotel choice in the...

Liked: Flew to Knoxville TYS from Texas. Flight (on American) that was supposed to leave TX at 8:25am and arrive in TN after a stop in Dallas never actually happened. Delay after delay led to canceling and switching to United. Originally scheduled to arrive in TN at 2:00pm and did not arrive until almost 9pm. These travel plans were made in February. Kept the Holiday Inn informed of my schedule changes as I did not want to lose the room and they were most helpful. Flew to Knoxville for a concert at The Shed in Maryville, a terrific music venue near TYS and the Holiday Inn. Other concert goers also stayed at the same hotel. Checked in after the concert because I drove directly from TYS to The Shed. Still had a room which was clean, comfortable, etc. Went downtown to another nightclub called Three Doors Down which serves food until 1:30am and had great live music. Holiday Inn & Suites is a great choice for accommodations in the Knoxville / Maryville area! There are plenty of dining options near the hotel if you get there earlier.

Very good

Disliked: We did get any hot water for the shower. When I mentioned it to the front desk, we expected a small discount as hot water in a hotel seems to be the basics. But nothing came up. A little disappointing!!

Ok hotel for a night...

Liked: The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean.
Disliked: The prices was higher than what I reserved on booking. Also, the housekeeping lady woke us up at 8am knocking of the door because there was an error on our reservation in the hotels system.
