Where to stay? 2nd time in Neyland

[VolMarine1371]

Be careful at that place man. Stayed there for one of the earlier season games last year. It was dirt cheap then-like 65 bucks a night.

A few hours after we checked in on Friday, a Knox coroners van parked in front of our room and was there pretty much the remainder of the evening. I really don't want to know.

Saturday after the game, went to get ice from one of the machines in one of the stairwells. Apparently a gentlemen thought I was looking for a different kind of "ice" and was trying to sell me meth.

Really classy joint.

Hell yes 🙌. Sounds like my kind of place. I stayed there once before many years back snd didn’t have any issues. Things sounds like it changed a little. But it’s most definitely more than $65 a night. I being charged like $126.

Yeah, they don’t bother me. Is it supposed to be raining?

Only on Saturday. But that might make the night drive a little unpleasant if you choose out of town option.

 

[Mightyvol]

Also, we can park here right?

Yes, free parking at Farragut High School. Mask required to ride bus, no big deal.

 

[lukeneyland]

Perfect. Those are my people! Kidding of course

Be careful Knoxville has some really places that can be worse than one might expect

 

[TennVols12]

Stayed last Friday night at a Holday Inn at Cedar Bluff. $225 for the night

Recommendations for parking to get back on I40 west after the game?

How much walking are you willing to do?

 

[BilboTN]

It sounds like I should rent out my guest bedroom and sofa since I'm less than 5 miles from the stadium.

We love the Turkey Creek area on I40 just before you get to town. Lots of good restaurants, shopping - etc. Lots of hotels there - but prices are crazy this weekend.

Sometimes you just have to pay more and Turkey Creek is nice, quiet and safe. Before biting the bullet to pay for 2 nights, I read the ratings for most of the hotels you could get for 1 night and they were consistently bad if you are bothered by filth, bugs, mold, disrepair, and constant noise.

Strawberry Plains is 15 minutes to downtown, it's not a bad option.

There's fewer hotels east of town but since fewer people travel from the east, there's usually better availability. Airport area or Maryville usually has availability but that's a haul

Much easier to get in and out too. Park around James White Fort and it's a breeze usually. Of course, you have to be going East for any of that to matter though...

I’m from Memphis

 

[utfantilidie]

Seems like with all the travel request on this site Freak, Tripadvisor would want to pay for an ad.

How much?

 

[VolMarine1371]

I’m coming on for the OM game and am with seeing where you guys would recommend staying. I want to be somewhat close to Neyland (taking an Uber to the stadium), as well as close to the pre and post game festivities (bars and restaurants).

Looks like air b&b options are all booked already.

There are still rooms available at Clarion Inn & Suites West Knoxville/Turkey Creek area for $120 a night. There’s at least 1 room open now at Days Inn west Knoxville as I changed my reservations closer to Turkey Creek area.

How far away from the stadium is it?

 

[NO SIR EEE]

We just stayed at Sonesta Suites in Turkey Creek for the south carolina game. Awesome place, highly recommend.

How far away from the stadium is it?

Turkey creek is about 12 minutes from the stadium.

 

[VolMarine1371]

How far away from the stadium is it?

20 minutes give or take. West Town mall is 5-10 minutes away and Turkey Creek shopping center and Alumni Hall a mile away.

I like the Turkey Creek area a lot. Plenty to do and it’s in a nicer area. Texas Roadhouse will be good before or after the game.

It’s on Campbell Lake Drive.

Yes sir. Plenty of restaurant choices, plenty of stores to see.

After further research it was better than the Days Inn West Knoxville lol.
