Modern, no-frills, and focused on convenience, Royal Extended Stay offers a budget-friendly base for music lovers headed to Knoxville. Located in Alcoa, just 11 miles from major venues like Neyland Stadium and the Knoxville Convention Center, this 2-star hotel combines essential amenities with easy access to live music hotspots. With free WiFi, air-conditioned rooms, and a 24-hour front desk, it’s a solid choice for travelers who want simplicity without sacrificing location.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate Royal Extended Stay’s close proximity to Knoxville’s biggest venues—just a quick drive or ride-share away. The hotel’s location near McGhee Tyson Airport (only 0.6 miles away) also makes it ideal for out-of-town fans flying in for a show. While it’s set back from the downtown nightlife, that means quieter nights for post-concert recovery. The 24-hour front desk and availability of room service add flexibility for late arrivals or post-show cravings.

• Fans needing a quiet, no-fuss place to rest after loud crowds
• Budget-conscious music lovers who care more about gigs than glam

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers room service, perfect for late-night snacking after a concert.

Nightlife Options

Though Royal Extended Stay doesn’t offer on-site bars or live music, it’s a short drive to downtown Knoxville, where you’ll find live music venues, local pubs, and cocktail lounges. Ideal if you want to dive into the scene, then retreat to a peaceful room.
