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.

The Graduate Hotels always have a delightful design aesthetic that makes any stay there fun! But in Knoxville, the surrounding university area is small, and aside from a few restaurants not that interesting. The outrageous parking fee was very disappointing.

This was just an okay stay. The room really wasn't worth the price. It kinda seemed like prices were high maybe because the event I was attending. The room was nice but not any better than your average hotel. It was a good cleanliness . Comfortable bed. We had an issue with the toilet handle sticking. I had to remove the tank lid twice to adjust it. I know it's a simple fix but again not something I want to be doing when I paid $300+ for a single night and a hotel. And the tank was still running the chain wouldn't stay in place properly I had to inform the front desk prior to check out this morning. The atmosphere was great lovely and fun vibes in the lobby ,the saloon was really neat the over all theme was really cool. We did try breakfast there I got a cappuccino, scrambled eggs and a side of bacon. Bacon was super fatty I had to pick it a part and couldn't eat half of it because it wasn't cooked enough and my eggs were really hard to eat. They tasted like strait vegetable oil and If I hadn't bought a drink I probably wouldn't have been able to eat them at all so I was very disappointed with breakfast but the coffee was good. I don't really think I'll come stay again.
