#5 of 5 hotels in Bearden & Papermill Drive by Axel's take. Bearden & Papermill Drive is #3 of 5 places to stay in Knoxville. The best hotels in Bearden & Papermill Drive, ranked · Where to stay in Knoxville

Axel's take: 6.8/10

Convenient highway access, but a brand change makes older reviews less reliable. a former 2-star roadside hotel, now listed as City Express by Marriott Knoxville, scored for what it is.

This former budget Red Roof off I-40/I-75 is now listed by Marriott as City Express by Marriott Knoxville at the same address. We'd consider it for a practical overnight stop, but not book from the old listing alone. Expedia and Booking.com ratings sit around seven out of ten; guests regularly praise helpful staff, while room condition and housekeeping draw mixed reports. Evidence about the newly branded operation remains limited.

The major caveat is the renovation: Expedia scheduled hallway, meeting-space and swimming-pool work through September 30, 2026, with completion subject to change. September guest feedback still reported construction and a closed pool. Marriott now advertises breakfast and an outdoor pool, so confirm completion and availability directly. We'd skip it for a pool-focused family stay or if dependable room condition matters more than highway convenience.

  • Best for: drivers making an overnight stop; budget-conscious visitors with a car

  • Watch out for: brand change and outdated booking listings; renovation completion and pool availability unconfirmed; uneven housekeeping and room-condition reports

  • Location: Just off I-40/I-75 at Exit 383; practical for driving to downtown and UT.

  • Rooms: Some guests praise renovated rooms, but older-room complaints should not be assumed resolved.

  • Cleanliness: Mixed evidence: clean-room praise alongside repeated reports of dirty bedding, dampness and odors.

  • Service: Helpful staff are a consistent strength across the older Expedia and Booking.com feedback.

  • Amenities: Marriott now lists free breakfast, parking, Wi-Fi, a gym and outdoor pool; confirm pool operation.

  • Fees and surprises: Confirm the operating brand, deposit and pet terms; Marriott lists pet fees and a small-pet weight limit.
