The Spotlight on La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville Central Papermill

Comfort Meets Convenience Just Minutes from Knoxville’s Music Scene

Modern and budget-friendly, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville Central Papermill offers a relaxed stay just a short drive from downtown Knoxville and top concert venues. With easy access to I-40 and I-75, it’s a strategic base for fans looking to enjoy the city’s live music scene without the downtown price tag. Expect clean, comfortable rooms with practical features like free Wi-Fi, microwaves, and mini-fridges, plus a refreshing outdoor pool and fitness center for downtime.

Why Concert-goers love it

Set just minutes from the University of Tennessee and popular venues like the Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Bijou Theatre, this hotel is a great choice for catching a show without the hassle. Free parking and easy highway access make late-night returns stress-free, and check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM offer a decent buffer for post-concert recovery. The area is relatively quiet, so you can count on a good night’s rest after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable place to crash
  • Solo travelers checking off bucket-list concerts
  • Couples making a weekend of live music and local sights
  • Fans needing a quiet space to unwind post-show
  • Budget-conscious visitors who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with the hotel’s free breakfast, served later than many spots—perfect after a late night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, the property is close to several local eateries and fast-casual spots. Each room includes a microwave and fridge, so midnight snacks are always within reach.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re a quick drive from downtown Knoxville’s thriving nightlife. Bars, lounges, and music venues await, whether you’re in the mood for dancing or craft cocktails in a quieter setting.

What People Say

Guests frequently praise the cleanliness of rooms, friendly staff, and the property’s convenient location just off the interstate. Many note that it’s a great value for the amenities offered, with easy access to both music venues and Knoxville attractions. Parking and Wi-Fi being free is a recurring plus.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the property could use a few aesthetic updates, and during busy weekends, the breakfast area may get a bit crowded. Still, these small issues don’t outweigh the convenience and comfort it delivers.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a clean, comfy, and affordable stay with easy access to Knoxville’s best music venues, La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville Central Papermill hits the right note.

All in all, we had...

Liked: The room was exceptionally clean. The beds were some of the most comfortable beds I have ever stayed in at a hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was hot, fresh, and had a good variety. Overall, great experience and will stay again!
Disliked: The back parking lot was crowded. There was some undesirable materials on the ground in the parking lot (beer cans, used condoms, liquor bottles).

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Jasmine Tue, 19 August 2025

The worst - room 127...

Liked: The room is spacious, clean, and the bed is comfortable.
Disliked: Our room was located at the end of the corridor (opposite the maintenance department entrance) and there was no carpet at the entrance to our room. There was a lot of noise coming from the corridor. We sometimes found trolleys in front of our room entrance.There was no phone service in the room (we had to stay in our car for three hours to work).There was no Wi-Fi connection.As for breakfast, we only had coffee...No room service during the day, unless you request it in the morning.The room is not worth $184 per night rate (stayed two nights).
