Welcome to the beautiful Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Clinton, TN! Nestled at the base of the scenic Cumberland Mountains, we're neighbors with some of East Tennessee's best & most popular attractions, including Norris Lake, the Museum of Appalachia, Historic Downtown Clinton, and Windrock Park. We're conveniently located just 20 miles north of Knoxville on I-75, and national treasures such at the Great Smoky Mountains and Big South Fork are only about an hour away from us!
We're also neighbors with several historical landmarks, including the Green McAdoo Cultural Center, a location on the United States Civil Rights Trail. And be sure to explore America's "Secret City" of Oak Ridge, just 15 miles to our west.
For those who want to explore more off the beaten trail, check out the "Devil's Triangle," a rustic & rural winding road trip through the Cumberlands, and make your way over to visit Brushy Mountain in the process. Cumberland Gap National Historical Park is only a 30-minute drive to our north, and it's the famous "passageway west" that was used by early frontiersmen.

Mike at the front desk at night is courteous and has a great sense of humor! He goes above and beyond in customer service. I will continue to stay here when I’m in town for work because of the great service he provides. The rooms are clean. The property is beautiful and is a step above the other IHG hotels I’ve stayed in. I ended up having to come here due to another Holiday Inn that I normally stay at was fully booked. I will now always stay here going forward when I’m in town.
