7.8/10 Good! (1,020 reviews)
Check in was good. First night between 11p and midnight the guest in the room that had a conjoining door woke my husband up yelling, hitting stuff and throwing things. The next day I stopped in at the front desk to make management know and they said sonce it was the moght before they couldnt do anything. I mentioned if they could have management or secruity make a few laps of the property to see if it happens again. They stated no and if it happens again to call the front desk. They said security is at another location and even if they would call security if we heard them the 2nd night we were there security would tell them to call the cops. Bacony door needs tlc we were in room 5247 and seen bugs in the bathroom a few times.

Visit the observation deck for a great view of Knoxville. From the city's website: The Sunsphere was constructed for the 1982 World's Fair and during that time, it served as the symbol to the Fair. It was also home to a full service restaurant and the Observation Deck, which cost $2.00 for the elevator ride up for a visit. The Sunsphere closed to the public with the Fair's end and remained vacant or underutilized for most of its post-fair life. The Sunsphere and the Tennessee Amphitheater are the only structures that remain from the 1982 World's Fair.
