Clarion Inn & Suites Near Downtown

We preferred a double queen bed room and with me being 6’02, my feet were still hanging off the bed, making for an uncomfortable night of sleep. I asked the manager if we got a mixup of rooms and she stated that all of their beds are queen, not double size. The room, although clean, there was a weird smell in the room when we first got in there and through the night I kept picking up a lingering odor of some sort, so that threw off my sleep a bit as well.

I was disappointed. The front staff was very friendly. The hotel it’s self was not up to par. From the elevator to the hallways to room. This is an older hotel that had been poorly remodeled. The elevator was a little scary, the hallways were very dark (not good lighting at all) the bathroom had mold in shower. The toilet paper fell out when you tried to use it. The shower head was nasty and the water kept turning cold while taking a shower. The room was clean however. Just disappointed in everything else.

Very deceiving, reviews were great but It was actually like sleeping at a night club.

Great location and easy access to I-75; Close to friends I was visiting so several restaurants close by. Will use the hotel again.

The Clarion met my lodging needs, was close to the interstate, and made it easy to reach downtown Knoxville (convention center). Free breakfast and parking were provided along with free WiFi. It was an easy stroll to Waffle House and Cracker Barrel. The fitness center had 5 decent cardio machines and a good set of dumbbells. They had a multi-station weight station, but they could have used another weight machine or two for the bench press, etc. Breakfast bar: biscuits heated in a microwave are not good with parts being rock hard! They only have one elevator for 4 floors. I was on the second floor and used the stairs most of the time. In summary...my stay was good, and I would stay here again.
