Intercontinental Hotel, Cleveland Clinic Foundatio: Cleveland? Yes, Cleveland.

Intercontinental Hotel, Cleveland Clinic Foundatio: Cleveland?  Yes, Cleveland., West Knoxville

 Spritsail Says:  As far as hotel food goes, this is a diamond in the rough on Euclid Ave (really, it's very rough). Service is consistent with Intercontinental's the world over, but considering other choices within the region, it was outstanding. No particular favorites.

Do not rent a house sight unseen in Knoxville., West Knoxville

 Espresso_girl Says:  We rented a house sight unseen from what was told to us to be a "good" Land Lady in Bearden, a good part of town.
