The Spotlight on Residence Inn by Marriott Knoxville Downtown

Spacious Suites in the Heart of Knoxville

Modern, all-suite accommodations meet downtown charm at the Residence Inn by Marriott Knoxville Downtown. Just steps from Market Square and the Knoxville Convention Center, this 3-star hotel offers an easygoing yet polished vibe with thoughtful amenities like free bikes, free WiFi, and a rooftop terrace. Whether you're in town for a show or a weekend escape, it’s a comfortable, convenient base for your stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and this hotel nails it. You’re within walking distance of several downtown concert venues, making post-show strolls back to your room a breeze. With a 24-hour front desk, late check-out at 12:00 PM, and quiet rooms tucked away from the city’s hustle, it’s a smart choice for those who want both excitement and rest. Plus, those free bikes come in handy if you're exploring before the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a roomy suite with a kitchen and hangout space
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited tour
  • Couples planning a romantic music weekend
  • Fans who appreciate peace after loud encores
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without skimping on comfort

Food and Drink Options

  • Complimentary breakfast—perfect for late risers
  • Suites with in-room kitchens for pre-concert snacks or post-show bites
  • Grill out with the hotel’s barbecue facilities
  • Walkable distance to downtown Knoxville’s buzzing food scene

Nightlife Options

  • Stroll to Market Square for everything from craft beer to cocktail spots
  • Enjoy a quiet drink back at the hotel on the sun terrace

What People Say

Guests rave about the spacious, clean suites, with many loving the full kitchens and separate living areas. Reviewers highlight the friendly staff and the unbeatable location for exploring downtown Knoxville on foot. The free breakfast and rooftop terrace get frequent shout-outs, especially from those in town for events.

Areas for Improvement

While most reviews are glowing, a few guests noted that parking isn’t included and can be a bit pricey. Some also mentioned that the lobby can feel quiet—so if you're hoping for a buzzing hotel bar scene, you may be better off exploring nearby nightlife.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for downtown convenience, roomy comfort, and post-concert peace, the Residence Inn by Marriott Knoxville Downtown hits all the right notes.

Enjoyed our stay. Provided everything...

Liked: * I had a special request to get a frying pan for the kitchen as the only provided pans were pots. Ever try to fry an egg in a sauce pan? The request was not only accommodated, but it was brand new in box. I recommend they provide fry pans as a regular feature. * I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. * We stayed a week plus, so parking was comped, otherwise I think $25/day is a bit much.* Employees were all very nice as well as accommodating requests and helpful information. * I also appreciated the information booklets and map of downtown. * Housekeeping provided additional towels, etc. when we were not having the room cleaned.
Disliked: I consider parking at $25/day a bit much.
