Nice but too expensive.
Nice and quaint property in a good location. However, other options in the area offer similar experience and location at a much better value.

Perfect hotel and location! The room and bathroom are huge and stylish, along with a nice snack and minibar assortment. Check in was easy and accompanied with a beverage. There is a secret speakeasy you’ll be given the code to. The location borders the walkable downtown square. Pretty much perfect.

Disappointing hotel bar
The bathtub had water standing in it and the water was not clean. Looks like the plug may have dropped before all the water drained. I was pleased with the hotel staff but the Library staff was rude, lied to my face and didn’t treat as I was a guest at the hotel. They set me in the main lobby, never came out to see if I needed anything. Never came out to tell me there were open seats. I walked back in in like 40 minutes and there were several seats open and the girl said they came out to get me but I was gone I never moved an inch. I really was looking forward to getting several drinks but that didn’t happen.

Very nice staff, clean room and great location. The only complaint is the walls are very thin and we could hear the people next to us talking all night.

Overall, the stay was great. If I had to pick out anything, it was the fact that the carpets seem dirty in the hallways and a lot of the carpet was coming up in the room.

Beautiful hotel, couldn't sleep
This is a beautiful hotel in the heart of Knoxville. We were super impressed when we checked in. However it was impossible to get a good night's sleep in the room we were in (our bedroom was on the corner of the street and market square). Starting 5 or 5:30 service trucks began their work and there was literally no sound insulation in the room. We had gotten in just after midnight and needed the rest - unfortunately with the engines, beeping and honking, that was impossible.
