The meeting room was a good size for our group. The hotel room was a great size, lots of space to relax and unwind. It was a great place to have a meeting. The food was also pretty good that the hotel served for snacks and lunches! Loved that breakfast was included in the stay.

Embassy Suites – Downtown Knoxville, TN 🏨🌆✨
Embassy is one of my favorite hotels! We stayed there for a PBA conference (my husband attended), and I honestly don’t have a single bad thing to say. The hotel is very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful from start to finish.
It’s in a great location — just minutes from UT Stadium, and on Saturdays there’s an awesome flea market right behind the hotel! There are also several restaurants within walking distance and a movie theater directly across the street 🎬🍽️
Don’t miss the beautiful rooftop club called Radius — the views are stunning and the vibe is perfect for unwinding after a long day 🌇🍸

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon for an event in town. Parking was our first problem. It's valet only and all of the waiting spots were taken so I circled the block for 20 minutes before I just parked a few blocks away in a parking garage and carried my stuff in. Check-in was super easy and friendly, our room was great, very clean, excellent view. We were so looking forward to getting cleaned up and eating at the Mediterranean restaurant on property, only to find it closed. We had to find dinner elsewhere (not difficult since there were many options) and then went to our event. We arrived back from our event around 8:30pm, very much looking forward to relaxing in the rooftop bar with some cocktails, only to find newly printed signs by the elevator saying the rooftop closed at 8pm that day. So we couldn't get our car parked, couldn't eat at the restaurant or have an evening drink on the roof, all reasons I selected this hotel for our stay. Literally nothing we wanted to do was available to us. I wouldn't stay here again. Next time I'm in town I'll choose somewhere else.
