Top Fort Sanders Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"N/A"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Sevierville Kodak, TN

8/10 Good

"Our stay at the hotel was pretty good for a one-night stay. The staff at the property were EXCELLENT. The breakfast was very good. There was a little splash pad for the kids, which seemed like a lot of fun. Plus, it is pretty conveniently located to both the attractions of the area and the interstate. That said, the property was a little worn. For example, there were a few stains on the furniture in the room (not the bed, though), marks on the wall, and even the doors in the room were somewhat chipped/broken at the bottom. Given the pricing and the location, it's obvious that a lot of families with kids stay here, and this is probably the cause. I wouldn't say any of this would prevent me from staying here again in the future, as the hotel was otherwise comfortable and clean, but some people might still expect something with less wear and tear."

Luxury Group Retreat + Indoor Pool, Arcade & 56-Mile Views | Grand Vista Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Plenty of space, game room and pool to enjoy. The view is spectacular. Plenty of dishes, pots and pans etc.. We enjoyed a family reunion and I was able to prepare their favorite goods. I did need to bring my own cake pans and cooling racks but knew that before hand."
