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.

Our room was extremely dated and dirty. The AC vent was covered in dust and the box spring and fabric platform bed was heavily stained. Staff was very nice but the rooms need a major overhaul. For the price it is definitely not worth the money.

Disliked: Amenities

The room was so poorly planned that you couldn’t open the closet doors and walk between them and the bed. The two of us were talking turns on who got to move around the room: the other person had to sit or be in bed. There was hair in the shower from the previous guest and stains on the cloth bed board that unfortunately led you to wonder what they came from. There is only instant coffee in the room and paper cups, which they took during a mid stay spiffing and did not replace. The staff was fine, the towels nice, and the shower had plenty of hot water. I would not recommend this place, however. A cheaper hotel on the interstate would have been more comfortable and more generous.
