The Spotlight on Royal Extended Stay

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Knoxville's Music Scene

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.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a low-cost crash pad after a show
  • Solo travelers flying in to see a favorite band
  • Couples enjoying a music-filled weekend getaway
  • 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. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the surrounding area has several fast food and casual dining spots within a short drive. For those sleeping in after a late night, check-out is at 10:30 AM, so you still get time to grab breakfast nearby.

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.

What People Say

Guests often mention the affordability, especially for the location near major Knoxville attractions. Many appreciate the clean rooms and friendly staff, and travelers love the easy airport access for early flights or late arrivals. The free WiFi and air conditioning also get good marks.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel’s strength is its simplicity, so don’t expect luxury finishes or boutique vibes. Some reviewers note the décor is dated, and being just off the highway, there's limited walkability to nightlife or dining. But for the price, most agree it’s a solid deal.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Knoxville for a concert and want an affordable, no-fuss place to rest your head, Royal Extended Stay hits all the right notes.

It was not a pleasant...

Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: We had to wait for the room to be prepared, The lighting turned out to be 2 small LED strips on the wall. There was no refrigerator, closet, or rack to hang clothes. The light switch for the bathroom was OUTSIDE the bathroom, there were open shampoo and soap packets on the counter and toilet, and the shower curtain rod was upside down, so the curtain didn't close. The curtain on the window was torn and did not close all the way and I felt exposed to people passing by the room. As for the beds, there was no top sheet and the bedspread, if you could call it that, was threadbare, wit cigarette burns, stains and, tears in it. In addition, the pillows were plastic and would not stay in the pillowcases which made for a very uncomfortable night. I had to spray almost half of a can if Lysol on all of the surfaces to almost feel safe enough to take off my shoes, and then I still would let my bare feet touch the floor.
