Loved the reception from Kenzie. Grouped out three rooms together without asking and loved being offered unlimited water as it was a brutally hot day. The parking assistant (Ben) was so pleasant and personable and we enjoyed talking to him. The barista in the am was engaging as well:) Staff and comfort of the bed and sitting area made our visit amazing:)

Great service and atmosphere

Great - really enjoyed it. A great hotel with great service and fun atmosphere. The fitness room could use some upkeep, there was no recycling, and the valet parking was more than I wanted to pay considering the cost. However we would definitely stay here again. Fantastic location and boutique hotel feel with amenities. Nice personal touches. Comfortable beds and very unique. 9/10

I love this hotel. I recently attended a 3-day workshop at the University of Tennessee and was able to walk from the Graduate Hotel, to my classes; something I haven't done since 1973. The hotel is older, but has been refurbished nicely. Very convenient to anything on the UT Knoxville campus. No parking. All guest cars are valet-parked.

A bit over priced but a nice hotel. The rooms were well decorated and Tennessee themed. Beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked. The parking is valet only, sigh, and we didn’t think the higher cost was worth it. Would stay again if didn’t have other options. Right across from campus.

Love the Graduate hotels. They are precious. Service was great and friendly. The pillows weren’t comfy though. I think they were down pillows which sound fancy but get hard and flat.

Grad-U-Hate

I love staying at Graduates and typically enjoy my time. This location was cute but not as nice. The floor I stayed on had a musky damp feeling in the air. Also there were a ton of stains all of my bed. The last thing that was annoying that I was asked if I wanted them to clean my room and I said yes. The next day my room was still dirty.
