AMAZING
Pros:

I've been checking into this Marriott every week for the past two years, and the 4 employees I constantly see at the front desk always make me feel welcome. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine smiles make every check-in quick and enjoyable. They consistently go above and beyond, and their exceptional customer service is a big reason I look forward to staying here each week. Thank you Adriana, Shea, Jillian and Steven for making every visit feel like home!

Deceptive advertising
Pros:

Purchased tickets for the “Front Row to the Fourth at Maker Exchange” and it turns out the event wasn’t there but downstairs in the old Knoxville Convention Center. I’ve attached a screenshot of the listing actually showing that the event wasn’t sponsored by The Tennessean hotel next door, which was incorrect as well. Actually, nothing about the event was as described. Talk about bait & switch.

Marriott Knoxville is not worth staying at
Pros:

Do not use this Marriott. I’m a lifetime Titanium member. Never complained. This hotel has no elite room upgrades and rooms are below par for a Marriott. “M” club has powdered eggs and an awful breakfast. Ran out of breakfast 20 minutes before closing. After breakfast, all they have are bags of chips and sodas and water. Hotel didn’t give me points. Had to call Bonvoy number to get them. I’ve left 2 voicemails with the general manager. Doesn’t bother to call me back.

Simon Made Our Stay Exceptional
Pros:

Simon was absolutely incredible and made our stay unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond—helping with our luggage, carrying everything to our room, and making sure our car was safely parked in the private lot.

Later that night, I came down with a cough and was looking for some tea. Even then, Simon was more than happy to help us find exactly what we needed.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have any cash on me to tip him, but if I were his boss, I’d give him a raise. He is genuinely one of the nicest, most helpful people I’ve ever met. He made my first trip to Knoxville an amazing experience, and I’d happily come back just because of the outstanding service he provided.

Very good!
Pros:

It’s close to almost everything downtown. The valet parking is awesome, it’s pricey, but you don’t have to worry about finding a spot to park! The rooms are super clean. They have a nice gym as well!

Cons:

The water pressure of the bathroom sink wasn’t the best. Being downtown it is louder at night with sirens and cars.
