Graduate by Hilton Knoxville

Conveniently located across from UTK and dog friendly! We love to bring our pups and have a spend the night with our college kid!

Such a cute spot!

We discovered graduate hotels in Tucson and are drawn to their historic, school spirited, and fun nature. Always well located, friendly and with top notch service. Our room was well decorated and superbly furnished. We are on a long see America road trip and it’s one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in. From the valet to the desk clerk to the coffee barista, really friendly staff. We look for graduate hotels now.

Stayed at a Graduate by Hilton in Charlottesville so I thought I would give this one a try. This place needs work. The skirts around the beds are filthy - not a good design because they can't be removed for cleaning - lots of stains. Tub also had stains. Valet was very nice. Was told that there are two cans of water in the fridge - went to get one and also found someone's stinky leftovers. The real issue started about 9:00 pm - this is a Wednesday in November - the Kappa Sigma fraternity to the south fires up a band and it is loud. Went down to ask for ear plugs - none at the front desk. Fortunately for me - a pilot was checking in and had some - he says he doesn't travel without a handful. Not sure what the odd numbered rooms are like - but if Kappa Sigma is throwing a party - the music is in your room.

We honestly LOVED our stay at The Graduate. The facilities were just simply top-flight in every way. The staff—-from valet to check-in to room cleanliness staff—-were all spectacular. We will indeed be back!!!

Room was nice. Shower head was worst we’ve seen in a while. Stationary, no adjustments, so all you get is a sprinkling. Not okay for this type property! Pillows were not our favorite…looked nice but was difficult to get comfortable on them. Having a firmer pillow option in the room would have been a bonus.
