Holiday Inn at Papermill 1315 Kirby Road Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-584-3911	Less than mediocre Holiday Inn, but for $59.00 per night, I couldn't complain. Not a great location; you need a car to get to any food. There is a decent mall just down the freeway, but other than that, nothing much. ~Laura, Mamma Mia! Abysmal. ~Milo, Mamma Mia!	*
Hampton Inn & Suites 618 W. Main Street Knoxville, TN 37902 Phone: 865-522-5400	Really nice, brand new. The staff was very accommodating an nice. Spacious rooms (suites) with kitchens & fridges; really nice beds. ~Kristine, Mamma Mia!	****
Museums and Fun Stuff
Dollywood 1020 Dollywood Lane Pigeon Forge, TN 37863 Located 35 miles southeast of Knoxville	Huge crafts fair/state fair environment with tons of food choices. Two great roller coasters. Not worth the price. ~Mamma Mia!	***

Buddy's BarBQ http://www.buddysbarbq.com/locations.html	Several locations; a chain, but good, yummy BBQ - ribs, chicken, brisket, pulled pork (yes, I said pulled pork). Cheap, too and you can smell the wood burning pit a mile away. Sweet tea. . .Mmmmm. ~Milo, Mamma Mia!	***
King Tut's Grill 4132 Martin Mill Pike Knoxville, TN 37920 Phone: 865-573-6021	Recommended by one of the locals, this place serves Egyptian and Southern food for lunch and themed dinners. It's a tiny place with flashy-tacky decor with good, inexpensive food. The drinks are served in flower vases and Mo, the owner, is the sole waiter and comes to chat with each table. There is also karaoke and Mo spins his disco lights. It's great fun.	****

The Tomato Head 12 Market Square Knoxville, TN 37902 Phone: 865-637-4067 Fax: 865-637-4019	Sweet little restaurant in the Market Square area.

Salon Visage 1701 Downtown West Blvd. Knoxville, TN 37919 Phone: 865-694-4000 www.salonvisage.com	Loved it! ~Kristine, Mamma Mia!	*****
Tennessee School of Massage 4702 B Western Avenue Knoxville, TN 37921 Phone: 865-588-2324	The local press rep told me about the Tennessee School of Beauty which has a school of massage as well. A one hour massage is $25.00. It was a nice facility; I was seen by a senior student. The treatment areas are only separated by a curtain, and in my case I had a 90-year-old grandma next to me who was deaf as a post, but it was still a decent massage for such a cheap price. They also have a Post-Graduate clinic for $45.00 per hour. It might also be possible for them to send a group of students to the theatre with chair massages if it's pre-arranged. This was mentioned to me when I was finishing up. ~Laura, Mamma Mia!	***
