The front desk staff was extremely courteous and very helpful, but it wasn't enough to make up for their other shortcomings. The hotel itself is pretty nice, but definitely starting to show its age with the discolorations on some of the walls and the carpets looking too worn. The biggest disappointment though was the room service and cleaning ...
First warning: INTERNET SERVICE IS NOT FREE AT THIS HOTEL. You have to pay $10 a day for anything other than their (very limited) TV-based Internet.
As for the room: the beds were very hard and the air conditioner was totally inadequate. I'll echo the comments made by others here that it tends to be pricey.
The Hotel itself is beautifully ...

Nice hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/05/08
We stayed here for a week and the only thing I didnt like was my room had no view. There was an inside hallway with rooms facing the interior of the hotel. Other rooms had a window to the outside, but my group did not. The food was pretty good, although, overpriced.
I really like the 24hr security that watches over the motorcycles and vehicles.Everyone is very nice and helpful.The amenities are great,and the view is outstanding.

In-room Refrigerators Please
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/02/07
I enjoyed my stay at the Marriott Knoxville. However, be sure to reserve a refrigerator and microwave because the rooms do not have these amenities. Additionally, there was no ironing board in the room. Finally, the food is o.k. if you are really hungry.

Perfect for a wedding reception
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/06/07

The buffet food was hot and tasty, the service timely and professional, and the Catering Manager, Mort, was most helpful. Most of the wedding guests also stayed at the hotel and found it very comfortable: wonderful bedding, nice room amenities, ...
