Finding the entrance using Google Maps was interesting. The bathrrom door glass had not been cleaned in a while and visably stained. Dispite searching before booking was not aware the hotel was valet only. The staff made up for it. They were so friendly and provided excellent service!

I'm a fan of the Graduate hotels in general. This location is weirdly accessed via a tiny alley entrance in the middle of a block. You'll probably miss it the first time you drive up. Like all Graduate hotels, the lobby theming is really great, way heavy on the Peyton & Archie Manning, of course. On this last visit, the coffee bar was closed, supposedly due to sickness, and someone hit a gas line and knocked out the hot water for awhile. Not the best experience, overall, but generally a good hotel, albiet overpriced due to its location, IMHO.

Property location is perfect if you are going to the University. Hotel room was fine - small and decor was cute but not particularly clean. Lots of dust behind the bed and beer bottle top next to bed. Lobby was cute. Hallways could use a refresh too. Onsite food options not so great - have stayed at other Graduates that had more amenities. Staff was extremely welcoming and kind. Basically on UTK campus so it was perfect for our visit.

Perfectly decent. Clean, eclectic. Very comfortable beds and great shower. Unfortunately the cleaning products had such an overwhelming smell I felt rather sick. Also, I specifically booked because the rooms were soundproofed BUT the windows aren’t and I could hear the road traffic till midnight and in the morning.

Nice hotel. Poor parking.
The hotel room and staff were great! Only reason for 4 star review is due to parking. Valet was only choice with a $35 charge.
