Marriott Knoxville, Knoxville, TN - Reviews and Hotel Information

From the moment I first saw the photo of the hotel on Marriott's page prior to booking a room there for a symposium we were exhibiting at, I was excited to check it out. It's a pretty striking building, with a skewed A-frame-ish structure and very contemporary in styling. Well, it turned out to be even more striking in person than in the pictures. The cavernous lobby, with balconies the length of the building staggered in a reverse cascade, nicely appointed rooms and the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. I was ready to try and steal that mattress as I was checking out. And did I mention the down blankets? Mmmmm.... Not all was perfect, though. The heat wasn't working in the rooms. Which does not mean that I had icicles hanging out of my nose, but it would've come in useful. Temperature was still comfortable, just not quite 100% so. Made the down blankets all the more appreciated, I guess... And I also wouldn't expect a hotel of this caliber to still be charging $9.99/day for high-speed interenet access. Most other hotels now offer free high-speed access, it's about time this one joined their ranks. Overall, it was still a very pleasant stay in a unique hotel, with great rooms, and a magnificient view overlooking the Tennessee river and numerous bridges over it.
