SPARK BY HILTON KNOXVILLE NORTH I-75, Knoxville

The hotel sits at the I-75 Exit 108 interchange, placing downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee campus within a 10-minute drive. Several chain restaurants, including Monterrey Mexican, O'Charley's, Starbucks, Full Service BBQ, Applebee's, Cracker Barrel, El Chico, and Outback Steakhouse, are within 0.3-1 km. A Walmart is a couple of miles away. The immediate vicinity has been described as having a somewhat urban edge, and the back parking area adjoins a wooded interstate embankment. Free on-site parking is ample, removing the need to pay for downtown lots if you drive. For airport access, the nearest major airport is McGhee Tyson Airport, approximately 20 minutes south by car - no airport shuttle is available.

Guest rooms are equipped with King or 2-Queen beds, a 50-inch smart TV with cable (including ESPN, news, and local channels), air conditioning, heating, ironing facilities, and free toiletries. The property underwent a full renovation, giving rooms a fresh, modern look. However, the rooms lack a microwave, coffee maker, and hair conditioner; a mini fridge is provided. Some accommodation features a walk-in shower in wheelchair-accessible rooms. The building has thin walls and limited soundproofing - highway-facing rooms may pick up traffic noise, and hallway sounds carry. A few rooms have been noted to feel damp or have a mild musty smell, likely from humidity. The elevator serves upper floors but has experienced operational issues and may be out of service. For optimal quiet, a first-floor room away from the highway is recommended. The property is non-smoking throughout.

The hotel offers a complimentary continental breakfast from 6 to 10 AM daily. The selection typically includes bagels, cereal, yogurt, fruit, hard-boiled eggs, instant oatmeal, coffee, and juice. The breakfast has been described as basic and lacking hot items or variety; the toaster has had reliability issues. For those wanting a more substantial meal, several chain restaurants (Monterrey Mexican, O'Charley's, Applebee's, etc.) are within a short walk or drive. The property also has a bar/restaurant open Monday through Saturday from 4 PM to 10 PM (closed Sunday), serving food and drinks. A snack bar is available in the lobby. Coffee and tea are offered to guests throughout the day.

The hotel provides a fitness centre with exercise equipment, accessible 24 hours. No other wellness or leisure facilities are offered - there is no swimming pool, spa, sauna, or hot tub. The surrounding area is not particularly pedestrian-friendly for casual walks, though several restaurants are within walking distance. Board games and checkers/chess sets are available in the lobby for recreation.

Wi-Fi is free in all areas. Parking is free and does not require a reservation. The 24-hour front desk can assist with check-in/out, and invoice provision. The elevator serves all floors but has had intermittent mechanical issues - first-floor rooms circumvent this. Wheelchair-accessible rooms include a lowered sink, raised toilet, grab rails, and a walk-in shower. Pets are allowed for a $25 fee per pet; service animals must remain with the owner at all times. Housekeeping is available but may not be daily (room refreshes by request). The property has security features including key card access, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and a security alarm. Accepted payment methods: American Express, Visa, Diners Club, JCB, Discover, Carte Blanche, MasterCard.
