Top East Knoxville Hotel Reviews

Pigeon River Inn

8/10 Good

"What a deal. Great find in the Smokies."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Knoxville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This place is super convenient since it’s right across the street from the airport. It’s really clean and not too stuffy—felt fresh and comfortable. The beds were cozy, and overall, I’d definitely come back if I needed to. Breakfast was good.. No trouble with parking.. Checking in was easy, and the lady was polite.. There is restaurants nearby waffle house others.."

Wilderness at the Smokies – River Lodge Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful. Check in line took awhile, followed by a person that wanted to get you to listen to time share offers. Which we have no interest, own 2 homes already. Had a fun time with 2 grandkids for Holloween festivities. Pool was great fun, arcade (4 machines took our money, didn't work, attendant gave us credit) ate at deli and burger place, both good."

Best Western Plus Apple Valley Lodge Pigeon Forge

10/10 Excellent

"We had the room with the loft area that was great for our adult daughter. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was very good. The only negative comment I have is the location. It is on the left side of the parkway and there is not a red light to turn in. So every time we had to go left ( which is toward Pigeon Forge) we had to go right and make a u- turn. But this is the case with a lot of motels on that side so it will not stop us from staying there again"
