We were in Knoxville for the University Oregon-Tennessee game in September. Had a nice time.

The Loft is on the edge of a great neighborhood; good for walking, lots of restaurants and bars, friendly folks. The Loft is spacious, fully appointed, stylishly hip, and very comfortable. And we found our host, Thomas Hensley, to be attentive, enthusiastic and very accommodating.

The Cook Loft passed our ultimate test (would we return at some future date?) and the answer is an unqualified 'yes"

I was pleasantly surprised by my recent stay at the Cook Loft in Downtown Knoxville. If you are familiar with Knoxville, you know that there really aren't that many nice places to stay downtown. I booked the Cook Loft through their website after doing a search originally on Expedia. I was impressed by how nice I was treated when I booked, how convenient it was for me to check in even though they only have the one unit, and by how absolutely beautiful the loft actually is. It is really clean with a wide open space that offered us the feel of being downtown without feeling like I was in a hotel room. We only stayed for a weekend, but wish that we had planned to stay more. I definitely will try to go back there next time we are in town.
