    My stay was nice and comfortable. The staff was friendly… my only issue was my room did not have a view at all and I think I chose a view when I booked. There was literally a wall right outside the window. Other than that it’s in a great location, the free breakfast is a great touch because most places don’t do free breakfast anymore. I would recommend to others

    Great location, room was very comfortable and breakfast was wonderful. The staff working the breakfast was incredible…kept everything fresh, cleaned tables and were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful rooftop bar. The staff at the rooftop bar did not seem particularly interested in helping patrons. It is a beautiful space, but the staff could be improved.

    I room was spacious, clean and the property was well kept. However, we did have a problem with the AC in the living area of the room. It was wasn’t work, maintenance was called and they came relatively quickly to fix it. It worked for that day and the next, it stopped working again. Maintenance came again and the replaced the unit. The front desk manager called and apologized for the inconvenience and offered us a bottle of champagne but, my wife and I don’t drink. Then they offered a $30 Starbucks gift card. We accepted it but looking back, I should have demanded that one of the nights be comped. Ok the day of checkout, it felt like the AC stopped working again….

    This hotel is close and convent to Neyland Stadium and Tom Black T&F. The rooms are nice size for 2 queen and sofa bed. fresh & clean bathroom. The breakfast buffet was awesome all you can imagine ( from waffles to sausage Canadian bacon cold cereal to meal oatmeal, yogurt, granola, fresh fruit all kinds of break juice). AllThe staff was great and excellent service, Only down fall mini refrigerator in room didn’t keep some items cold enough. They only do valet parking but you can do park in public parking behind and pay per day

    Parking fee (valet seemed to be only option) was $49 (before tip). Pet fee was $100 for one night! I went to the bar to get one glass of wine to take back to my room and paid over $20 (before tip)! Great self serve breakfast (included in room cost), unfortunately, room service was not an option for dinner and I arrived later in evening. Ordered dinner via DoorDash and then had to wait in lobby for meal delivery as delivery service cannot use elevator.

    The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay, and everything ran smoothly overall. The only minor drawbacks were that breakfast closes at 9:00 AM during the week, which felt a bit early, and I had some difficulty getting the room temperature exactly where I wanted it. Aside from those small issues, it was a very positive experience, and I’d definitely stay here again.

    Hotel is in a good location. We were able to take advantage of the public parking which is convenient and not difficult to get to versus the $45/night valet charge. The water pressure in our room was VERY POOR. We had an issue with our commode flushing properly. The maintenance engineer came quickly; however, he changed the handle, and the commode could no longer be flushed with the lid on---that was bizarre. We were to have housekeeping daily; we did not. We had to retrieve towels for the next morning. We had very noisy neighbors. They were loud. Perhaps the walls were thin as well. The morning breakfast was very good.

    For price paid i was surprised to find the room looked like it was part of maybe the original older hotel that had been remodeled. Clean but very basic could have gotten a nicer room at another hotel for half the price. No veiw except for roof tops. The TV didn't work had to get maintenance to fix. Went to Five thirty lounge. Was told 10 minutes for table.put name on list said we could wait in lounging area til table was ready and have drinks from the bar. Never had anyone come get our drink order finally flagged an employee down to order drinks, at point we had been there 20minutes waiting. Then another 20 minutes still no drinks . Walk to the bar asked a different employee about drinks. They had no order for it. Wife went to check our names on the list. At this point it was close to 50 minutes no drink and no table. Then they couldn't find us on the list. Which is odd because at around 10 minutes earlier my wife received a text saying our table was ready no one came to get us.they finally got us a table an hour of waiting on the the 10 minute original wait.

    I am not sure how they choose the rooms. I would expect them to give a first timer a decent room hoping they would want to return. Our room was at the very end of a hallway to the left and the windows opened to another building. Nothing else in view. The ventilation system is very loud and there is only valet parking and parking in a multi-level garage a few blocks away.

    Wonderful time at the hyatt but the room did have the subfloor chipping up under the carpet so it made the common area a bit dicey. The grout must have separated from the spandex panels. Did make for a tripping hazard around couch and desk area on way in and out of room.

    We wish we had more time here because of how nice the hotel was. We only stayed for a day and a night while passing through Knoxville area. We do travel a lot however and could tell that this hotel was great! Friendly staff, walkable restaurants and bars, very nice facilities. The only suggestion based on the EXPEDIA listing, is that the breakfast is NOT included with your stay. You will have to pay extra for that if you want it.

    The best Hyatt Place that we have stayed so far. Its location is in the center of downtown, walkable to Market Square, Sun Sphere and University to Tennessee.

Breakfast buffet is much better than an average three star hotel.

    The beds were very comfortable, the bar on the top floor was fancy and the views incredible also it was in a great location to walk around! The only thing to note is that they don’t have free parking - You have to park in a parking garage across the street that you pay for. Or you can do valet parking, which obviously is also paid.

    We requested twin beds upon check-in, and although the receptionist initially said she would check, she quickly told us none were available—without actually checking. We asked if the sofa in the room could be made up as a bed, and she said we’d have to do it ourselves, though they could provide extra bedding. Unfortunately, the phone in our room wasn’t working, so we had to go down to request the bedding in person. We were told they didn’t have any at the moment but would check with housekeeping. Eventually, housekeeping left a single bedsheet in the room. I had to go back down again to ask for more, at which point the receptionist apologized and gave me a blanket. The shower water was lukewarm at best, and when we inquired, we were told it's due to being on a higher floor—it just takes longer to heat up. Finally, since we had an early departure and wouldn’t make breakfast, we asked if breakfast boxes could be arranged. Without any effort or apology, the answer was simply no. The hotel itself is in a fantastic location, but unfortunately, the service we received was far below expectations.
