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.

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.

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.
