Pros

Direct skybridge access to Knoxville Convention Center

The only bar in Tennessee featuring hand-selected reserve barrel of George Dickel Whiskey

Outdoor beer garden with fire pits

Located within 0.5 miles of six major downtown attractions

Cons

Self-parking costs $30 per day

Pool operates seasonally only

“Connected to the Knoxville Convention Center, this hotel emphasizes convenience for business travelers. I particularly note the on-site Starbucks and rooftop pool as valuable amenities. While some dining limitations exist, the location near downtown attractions makes it a strong choice for many visitors.”
